What actor lands their first role in a film opposite Brad Pitt? Pure Lust Garrett Hedlund.
Let's start from the beginning. Garrett Hedlund is a down home farm boy [which I'll admit, adds a little to his sexiness] from Minnesota. His family moved to Arizona where he began taking acting classes, but immediately after high school he did what everyone with a dream does, took the next bus to Hollywood.
After only a month, Hedlund landed his role as Brad Pitt's cousin in Troy and his career took off. Friday Night Lights, Georgia Rule, Five Brothers, Tron, and more; including an amazing performance in the recent Country Strong.
Hedlund has minor modeling experience for L.L. Bean and Teen Magazine, but has yet to be the face of any major fashion campaign. A huge fan of punk music, Hedlund has spent time photographing the bands and fashion of the scene. This must have been the inspiration behind his spread in January's W Magazine. From the looks of things, he's ready to take on the fashion world too. Someone get Marc Jacobs on the phone!
"I've been told I'm too good looking for certain roles, but that's okay, it just motivates me to go deeper."
