Robert Redford vs Brad Pitt

Redford - hand down.

Young Redford was one of the most handsome man to ever live.

Robert's ass >>>> Brad's entire body of work

Both are now elderly homosexual tinymeats.

Redford.

Redford. No contest.

Redford's face, Brad's body.

NO CONTEST! Redford by far.

Redford.

I’m not sure what he was really like, but he seemed to be a little more mature and masculine.

Pitt, while handsome, seems to be stuck in Johnny Knoxville mode and sort of metrosexual.

Redford also had charisma and could hold an intelligent or fun conversation. Something Pitt has never been able to do.

So you're saying this wasn't a stretch for him R10?

Redford=beautiful man. Intelligent and a gentleman

Redford!

Redford. Pitt was always insipid looking. And I didn't think his comic timing was good in Burn After Reading. He was just awkward in that role.

Redford.

Redford. Absolutely. He was at the top for a longer time of his career. He produced some good movies as well. Ordinary People was incredible. And aside from movies, Redford really participated in making this country a better place.

Brad was beautiful and charming in some of his movies. But too often, in events and some movies, he came off as a slob. He's also not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

How is that even a question? Redford!

I always thought some director should have cast Redford and Pitt as the same character at different ages of life. Would have been some good stunt casting.

Yeah, but I like to touch faces when I kiss and I'd always be wondering what his moles said in Braille.

An old Redford movie was on one of those digital channels the other day (The Hot Rock - from 1972) and I was reminded how beautiful he was in his youth. Back in the 70s mom always went on about how good-looking he was I can see why. He's been a craggy and overworked old man for so long now that sometimes I forget how pretty he used to be.

Redford=Man Pitt=Boy

I agree with everyone else...Redford, no contest.

Robert or Paul N, now that would be a contest

I used to like Redford a lot until I read that he agreed to star in "The Verdict" but only on the condition that the script be modified so that the main character, Frank Galvin, be changed so that he was not an alcoholic.

From what I heard, they had actually started work on the film and when Redford didn't get his way, he dropped out. Thank heavens, Paul Newman, always a better actor and more intelligent, took the role and understood and knew the importance of Galvin's flaws. Leading to one of Newman's Oscar nominations.

So, Redord, while certainly handsome, is not really all that smart.

Spelling should be "Redford", of course.

Pitt better looking at all ages.

Probably Redford, but I'd rather fuck Brad.

REDFORD

REDFORD. Pitt looks like the cutest boy to come out a lower middle class white neighborhood.

R18, funny you should say that. When I saw "A River Runs Through It" I had no idea who Brad Pitt was, but was convinced that he was related to Redford somehow; son, maybe.

I agree. Redford, think he's a better actor too.

Redford. When he is lying in bed in The Way We Were there was not much sexier of a man.

Agree with everyone, but, that said, Redford is still a generally wooden actor.

You want to fuck Brad Pitt but marry Robert Redford.

No need to exaggerate r2

Redford wins based on noses alone.

Pitt's face is all fake and he's been always on Steroids

Robert Redford

Mmmm...Redford.

Pitt is 172 cm he's lying about his height he has never been 183 cm or 181 cm! check out this pic of him w 164 cm Jennifer Aniston and notice he's wearing shoes

I vote Brad in his Mr. & Ms. Smith days.

Definitely Redford for me - more manly unlike Pitt's boyishness and I think Redford was a better actor.

Redford aged weirdly with the red wig and all but in his prime vs Brad in his prime Redford wins the prize.

M&M Smith promo. I love the hair, not many can pull off that look.

I also think this is generational. Redford screams old man to me, while Brad was in his prime during my youth so I've bought into his golden boy image. I remember hearing two women gasp when Brad came on the screen during Ocean's Twelve. He had it for a good couple of years.

Pitt looked like a monkey in Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Brad short ass Pitt

Well take me to the zoo r51 cause I'd let that monkey man get all up in this.

Robert Redford was dreamy beyond belief in his heyday so he gets my vote.

Those nostrils! He looks like a baboon! He's definitely not much taller than Cruise.

Robert Redford

Pitt was hot in Legends of the Fall, Interview with a Vampire and Mr and Mrs Smith.

Redford was bland and boring. More concerned with his image as a matinee idol rather than growing as an actor. He seldom if ever took risks artistically. His ego would not allow him to get a period haircut in THE WAY WE WERE, play opposite Paul Newman in a film adaptation of THE FRONT RUNNER, or attempt a British accent in Sydney Pollacks beautiful but empty OUT OF AFRICA. Not a real actor at all.

Both are handsome but Redford was stunningly beautiful.

Robert Redford was better looking.

I would say neither, but Redford was the most handsome (face), and Pitt was the better actor.

R58 is right about bland and boring and all the vanity stuff. Redford is unwilling to let himself be seen out of control, or be in an unlikable role (post becoming a superstar in 1973). He's extremely sensitive about his lack of height, and has been bleaching his reddish brown hair blond for 55 years. Redford's biographer says he's had an intermittent drinking problem for decades.

Pitt's a dumb asshole and drug/substance abuser, but he can deliver a good performance at depths Redford can't/won't.

When Brad Pitt was profiled in Vanity Fair about 25 years ago, I jacked off to his photo for months.

When there were rumors that "The Front Runner" would be filmed with Redford Newman, I was in high school and Redford would have been approaching 40, way too old to play a college athlete. I am afraid that The Front Runner's time has come and gone

r61 I've never heard anyone outside of Angelina's camp call Brad an asshole, even Jennifer was still pinning for his dick post divorce. I've always heard of him as an easy going low drama actor...for an A-lister.

I saw Pitt at Sean Penn's haiti thing at Milk Studios a few months ago he is very tall in person. Comfortably 6'2".

And very handsome in the flesh.

Did look stoned to high heaven though or just had sad eyes.

I don't care if Brad is a fucking dwarf. Present your hole baby. Not into mole face.

Neither. They are both handsome but lack charisma and are boring faces. I don't care about Brad's life anyway.

Redford. Not brainer.Pitt was never all that. His body is hot. Not him. Butterface. Frau taste. Bad actor. Hygienically challenged. Dumb. Acne scars galore.I never got the hype. Of course in the sauna I 'ld be on all fours begging for his cock, but Redford was spectacular, intelligent, and he was at the top when stars were stars still, meaning he was coupled with the likes of Natalie Wood or Mia Farrow, stunning unforgettable couples. You just want to put Pitt and Juliette lewis in a bath honestly. I even prefer Chris Pratt.

Pity is probably “funnier” and warmer, but Redford has gravitas and presence and is a once in a lifetime beauty.

Redford was better looking. But I don't think much of either them as actors.

Pitt can be good (never great) or downright awful.

Redford has great screen presence, but all but ruined Out of Africa.

i enjoyed the spy movie they were both in together.

Young Redford was indeed beautiful, but those 3 big carbunkles on his face were always very offputting to me. Why in the world didn't he have those things removed. But I have to say I've had more erotic thoughts over Brad Pitt (especially lately) than I ever did of Redford.

Out of Africa didn't need anyone to ruin itself. Big long stinking piece of shit. Redford was great in the sixties and seventies, and he played anger better than anyone. Barefoot in the park, the chase, This property is condemned, Jeremiah Jonhson, the 3 days of the condor and all the president's men are great. Ordinary people is a very special movie. He didn't age well. Movie stars generally don't. But Pitt NEVER touched Redford in his prime.

[quote]Out of Africa didn't need anyone to ruin itself. Big long stinking piece of shit.

It was a beautiful movie. But Redford's part was an Englishman. Redford couldn't do the accent. And he is otherwise rather dull.

Brad Pitt was prettier. Robert Redford the better actor.

Paul Kratz!

Robert Redford Graduation Picture Van Nuys High School 1954.

Famous classmate Van Nuys High School Class of 1954.

If movie stars don't age well who does?

I met both of them at different times in my life. I met Redford at a political rally in CT in the eighties. I am a 5'7" female and 125 pounds at that time and I felt like a linebacker next to Redford. He is very tiny and his hair and lashes were more orange then blonde. He had no real ass to speak of and very thin body. I was extemely disappointed since I was a big fan. He looks much BETTER on film trust me on this. I met Brad around 2002. He is at least 5'11" tall and has a much better body then Redford. Face wise he is almost pretty with dimples full lips and smile. Brad looks better in person. I would say their acting skills are similar. Neither one is Meryl Streep. However, I always felt Redford came across more sexy and charismatic on film.

It's not much of a contest. Maybe do Redford vs. Newman or Brando.

I would say Brad has a better body and in his day Redford had a better face. However Redford has not aged well at all.

Redford is sensational in romantic and light comedy though flat in drama. His comic timing in Barefoot when he and Fonda go at it is superb.

This is not a minor talent. In fact I find it more impressive than good in heavy drama. That whole 'dying is easy comedy is hard' thing.

Redford

Mmm, Robert Redford. All I could think about when he was on screen was his dick and what it probably looked like. The original Great Gatsby showed him to full advantage. Handsome and built well.

So beautiful Redford in Jeremiah Johnson I can hardly breathe. Brad Pitt I can see he is beautiful but he just doesn't do it for me. He seems like he would ignore everyone, one of those people who doesn't even register when human beings are around.

R71, that's probably, although Redford was beautiful, he was sexless. Buttoned-down, as they like to say. Emotionally reserved. I always thought he might come out as gay because he acted so "ewwww" when it came to kissing a female co-star.

Redford. Particularly liked him in the Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark."

Redford! But neither can act. But Redford has charisma.

Robert Redford was in a few Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Redford, mainly because he managed to make it through a movie with Barbra.

I feel like Redford was the more handsome of the two. But Brad Pitt was "more beautiful". They're not really the same terms. I don't think either of them are particularly great actors, but they can deliver. And Brad has surprised me by showing some comic chops, in a few rare instances. So many actors can't do comedy at all. I grew up watching Redford, but have a real affection for Brad.

Redford wins. He was more handsome than Brad Pitt by far. I've seen early Brad Pitt photos; he had a nose job to improve his beauty. Redford's beauty was natural.

Except for the Lady Clairol, R92.

Hands down, Redford. I don't have the same taste as some other posters who think that Brad is more "beautiful." I think he's more like the poor man's Redford. Not as good as Redford in the looks or talent department.

R90 I could only see Streisand in that film. A blinding light of charisma. Not Redford, not at all. He was the George Brent of his generation.

Is Robert as tiny 'down there' as Brad?

Great post, R79.

Brad doesn't look so tiny in those candid photos of him.

Redford never showed dick.

[quote]I saw Pitt at Sean Penn's haiti thing at Milk Studios a few months ago he is very tall in person. Comfortably 6'2".

I was about to off until I realised this is a joke. Brad Pitt lists his official height as 5'11", but several of those online height verification sites have him at either 5'7" or 5'8". In shoes, 5'9" at best. He's lying about his height and that proves he's as vain as the poster who claims Robert Redford is obsessed with his looks.

I stopped finding Pitt attractive when I found out he's a bad actor who latches on to more talented actors and, in the process, ruining what would have been perfect movies because his status gives him first pick of the best projects. Who can forget how Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey and Goop acted circles around him in Se7en?

The only thing that keeps Brad from perfection is his bad skin.

[quote] Redford. Not brainer.

Apparently not.

Redford is a short slightly build guy with small stubby/chubby hands and small feet, I assume his dick is the same.

Always found Redford to be bland...and not much of an actor...have not seen many of Brad Pitt's movies but I thought he was simply beautiful in Interview with the Vampire.

The answer to the question is Burt Lancaster.

Did Barbra have an affair with Redford? I always found their first hookup in TWWW when he passes out halfway through depressing because she’s so sad, like he’s the best looking person* Katie will ever fuck and he doesn’t know he’s doing it.

*then again, Robert Redford is the best looking person anyone will ever fuck, pretty much.

No R106, that would still be Alan Bates from 'women in love'

Caught the end of TWWW the other night. Redford was absolutely gorgeous.

God, no, R106. As much as the readers of Rona Barrett's Hollywood, Streisand herself and the Datalounge wanted it to be - NO.

I think he'd be a lousy lay anyway.

[quote]Redford has gravitas and presence

I agree with R68. If you put them both on camera with no dialogue for 1 minute - Redford would speak volumes. With Pitt you'd hear crickets.

Robert Redford. Hands down. Close the thread.

Redford.

Redford certainly looked like he bathed more often.

Robert Redford, no contest.

Robert Redford, he produced a movie called The Milagro Bean Field War in the 80s (I think), which I always thought deserved a lot more attention than it got.

Brad Pitt to me never was beautiful, he's a dumb trashy famewhore. The worst kind of celebrity.

R106 I’m glad they didn’t make sequel. TWWW is a perfect movie and some things need to be left alone.

R116, TWWW would have been more perfect had there been a 'director's cut' that included the deleted scenes and plot line. Even though Sidney Pollack has no qualms chopping it to bits, it would be nice if audiences know WHY they split up at the end.

Peter O'Toole. But if forced to pick - Brad Pitt.

I defy you to claim he was not stunning

My gorgeous goy guy

God, Barbra Streisand looks homely as a horse next to Redford. He was so much prettier than she was.

Brad.

Buck would never have picked Brad.

who did he marry? any kids?

This is generational, eldergays will choose redford and 90s kids probably will choose brad pitt. But Brad Pitt has always been bland to me, I wouldnt even choose him over Keanu Reeves, who was an extremely terrible and wooden actor but can be very charismatic. He was in that terrible 90s movie with Demi Moore, I always wondered why Demi Moore didnt end up with Robert Redford, he was super old then, but still very attractive. Brad pitt was so pretty, but I didnt care for him in any if his movies, he looked like a ken doll, zero personality.

r125 needs a blog to let the steam out....

Hey, they both have yellow skin!

Those who possess the gift of sight vote for...

Bobby -

Brad looks like a trick -

Robert Redford's perpetual surfer boy shit gets on my nerves.

He's been looking downright silly for a long time now.

I know actors are vain and narcissistic but he carries it way over the limit.

He's 81 YEARS OLD. Just stop, have some dignity, just stop.

"He's 81 YEARS OLD. Just stop, have some dignity, just stop."

Stop what, you ding dong? Except for his fake hair he looks extremely aged. He looks very old an it doesn't seem like he does much to hide it except for the hair.

Redford is the answer to all your questions, OP.

Charisma up the wazoo.

r43, Uh, no.

i was going to make the same "surfer boy" comment, r130. That perpetual look is tiresome.

R61, he was a natural blond. I saw him in an episode of Perry Mason and he had his real hair color then.

Brad is Maturing nicely I should say.

Surfer boy you say?

[quote] Hey, they both have yellow skin!

What do you mean?

Don't get him started, R138.

Redford - no contest

Brad is pretty Robert is handsome I prefer handsome REDFORD for the win

I remember watching that movie, indecent proposal and redford was hot in it.

Redford has the better bone structure--stunning face. Pitt's face is blobbier, but his body's much better.

That said, I'm with whoever said Peter O'Toole. Damn, he was pretty in his heyday, don't care that there was a nose job.

Going way back, Gary Cooper was a beautiful man and tall, to boot.

Redford on both counts. But Newman was light years ahead of him acting wise (and looks once middle age set in).

ive seen the early teen horror movie brad made, his supple gay butthole is a perfect fit for mr topman: Robert R..

Newman was a poof. Ewwww

Newman had a pretty face, with the profile of a Greek god, but his legs and arms were short and scrawny and his torso was too wide. But I’d totally fuck his face.

paul and gore vidal,,,,yep...bak In the day

I thought Redford in his prime was hotter than Pitt in his prime.

R115 I totally remember the Milagro movie when it came out. It made magazine covers where I grew up. I've never seen it, I was a little too young and it was clearly a "grown-up movie", then, like you said, there hasn't been much in the way of revivals.

redford has class, doubt he slept his way to the top....

Pitt definitely looks like a girl.

No thanks.

[quote] or attempt a British accent in Sydney Pollack's beautiful but empty OUT OF AFRICA. Not a real actor at all..

I've read that Redford was going to use a very credible British accent to play Denys Finch-Hatton, but the producers decided American audiences would no interest in a romantic drama involving a Dane and a Brit. R58 may be right that Redford is vain, but Out Of Africa is the wrong example.

When he was young and pretty the one thing Redford had over Brad was that beautiful hairy chest. I hate to think about what it looks like these days.

Would HAVE no interest ^^.

I generally don’t like hairy chests except on Henry Cavill.

This is for R135, Bobby as a boy with Mommy. Not a blond until he bleached, and they did have bleach in the days of the old Perry Mason show:

Another for R135:

I always had the hots for him when he was inches prime.

Redford today:

Him who, R159? Redford's face or the guy whose body they used to photo shop that picture?

I thought of Redford as a redhead not blond.

lets hope we look that good when we his age

rock on sir, enjoy....

R152 I agree even after massive jaw implant in attempt to look masculine lol

Pitt had hair transplant in 2006

Pitt is just so fake his face is all implants, filler, botox also hair transplant fake teeth steroids

Something about this photo has always seemed so sexy.

Brad Pitt is a plastic surgery

Sorry, it didn't work the way I thought it would. You have to scroll down some to see him, but it's worth it.

Yeah, it's like he had to butch himself up before in order to keep up with the straight man image and keep the dollars coming in. Now that he's spent years being bearded , he cares less. It's a John Travolta thing, totally obvious and known but not discussed.

I wonder how long that 'not discussed' will last though

[quote] I agree even after massive jaw implant in attempt to look masculine lol

I diet realize that there were such things as jaw implants.

[quote] Brad Pitt is a plastic surgery

How can he be a plastic surgery? That reminds me of that awful My Uncle and His Boyfriend are Goals thread title.

Friend of mine worked with Redford ( outside of the film industry ). Said he was nice enough but he had never encountered anyone so aware of his own presence, in that he would clearly make sure he was standing wherever the best light was in the room and so on.

But then I read an interview with him a couple of years ago and he was talking about how he has had no plastic surgery and yet he clearly had his eyes done. So he is clearly still invested in his looks or what he thinks remains of them.

Pitt is pretty. Redford was handsome. Neither has a big range, but Redford definitely has more going on intellectually.

I love Pitt's boyish charm. Plus he had amazing body in his youth. Redford is handsome no doubt but he seems too self aware of his handsomeness.

Jane Fonda Recalls The Moment She Knew Robert Redford Would Be A Star

Robert Redford is the original California golden boy. The first of the archetype and still the best. Like Sean Connery. Unlike Troy Donahue (another CA golden boy) he has intellect, artistry in his work and a social conscience. I think he's Brad Pitt's role model.

R175, Redford pleased to the NYT that he didn't dye his hair (wig). Seriously.

Pleased.

Robert Redford, hands down.

When Barbra first sees him in the bar in The Way We were, she gasps. He's wasted and in uniform but very beautiful.

Both are beautiful men from different generations.

Super show biz columnist Liz Smith stated that Robert Redford was very self absorbed. Always wanted to be seen in the best light possible in more ways than one, and nothing too controversial. When friend and co-star Paul Newman broached him about starring in a gay themed movie he said No in a hurry.

Redford was indeed a very beautiful man but very Old School - every hair in place, the best lighting, and wanting to look his best all the time.

Unfortunately he didn't age well. Too much time in the sun, maybe genes as well, and even in his 30's wrinkles started to show too clearly until they pretty much took over his face. He couldn't stop Father Time. But a hell of a specimen in his time.

The classic movie star look.

[quote] He couldn't stop Father Time.

He was Death itself.

He and Burt Reynolds are about the same age but he's aged a hell of a lot better than Burt.

He's smart enough to know that good looks only last so long so he started working behind the scenes, producing, directing and getting involved in Sundance festival and environmental issues. Can't say the same about Burt.

Redford and his wrinkles.

These 2 men are the most beautiful men in Hollywood history.

Someone wondered if Babs had her way (you know what I mean) with Redford during the filming of The Way We Were. The answer is NO. It was reported by insiders that Redford and his cronies laughed and giggled at Babs as she raced around the set trying to do everything possible with her hyper energy. They were amused/annoyed by her constant demands.

She wanted to make another movie with him but it never happened.

I third Peter O'toole. No one comes close.

Ocean's 11 - George and Brad. I thought Brad became better looking when he turned 40.

Come to mama

HOW does one reconcile the fact that he was super self absorbed about his appearance and yet, aside from his hair which is a travesty, he let himself age very, verrrry naturally. Compared to say Beatty, Michael Douglas, even Al Pacino? Seriously I’m asking, because it really doesn’t make much sense to me.

Those 3 movies stars used their looks and status to sleep around but I never heard any stories about Redford. Was the guy so beautiful that he got bored from women throwing themselves at him? I wonder if he slept with Fonda. He made 3-4 movies with her.

Fonda and Redford- Barefoot in the Park.

Redford has always been an extremely private person, and I've never heard salacious gossip about him. Married to his first wife for almost thirty years. He does his own thing, but there's integrity and decency there.

I thought he cheated on his wife with Sonia Braga?

Yes, he left his wife for Braga. His marriage was probably over by then.

Redford seems like a one-woman man.

R186, no fair because Reynolds has numerous health issues and is severely under weight. He and Redford are EXACTLY the same age - born in 1936. For years Redford claimed 1937.

Redford was separated from his first wife long before Sonia Braga. They were officially divorced in 1984. He's a loner, not a womanizer.

R194, Redford practically confirmed that he was involved with Natalie Wood in the 1960s. Jane Fonda, no, she was a one of the boys type.

R192, don't you know that pic isn't real?

I cannot believe he thinks he looks good now with this unkempt wig. Veneers look good, if too white.

I should mention the comment about Natalie Wood comes from the Michael Feeney Callan biography that Redford cooperated with - he provided photos and agreed to be interviewed at length.
