Brad Pitt, who broke up with Gwyneth Paltrow more than 15 years ago, has revealed that one of the most memorable bits of advice he has ever received came from the actress’ late father. Pitt told Esquire magazine that Bruce Paltrow taught him to describe his line of work as “self-employed” instead of calling himself as an “actor”, Us magazine reported. He said that it is a humble way to describe what they do. The 49-year-old actor said that if a stranger were to ask him what he does, he’d say, “Well, I’d be very Midwest about it, very Missouri. I’d say, ‘This and that.’ I’d say, ‘I’m a dad, just like you.”
