Brad Pitt is a man of many styles, and he knows how to make any of them look good.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner rocked a notably more bookish look, with blond bangs and lightly-tinted glasses, when he walked the red carpet at the premiere of his new film The Big Shortat the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on Monday.

In fact, the longer hair and glasses seemed to resemble his character from the film Ben Rickert -- although Pitt made sure to shave the massive salt-and-pepper beard he sported for the drama.

"That was my real hair," Pitt told ET at the premiere. "I'm afraid so."
Pitt had no reluctance when it came to sharing how proud he was for his latest project, which he also produced.

"It's a really strong, entertaining story. [Director] Adam McKay did an amazing job," Pitt gushed over The Big Short, which focuses on the buildup of the housing and credit bubble during the mid-2000s which led to America's recent financial crisis.
"You start talking about CDOs and adjustable mortgages and it's not the most entertaining material," Pitt said. "To get the message across, I don't think we could have ever done it without someone with Adam McKay's wit and his knowledge. He really is the smartest guy in the room."

Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Melissa Leo, Karen Gillan and Marisa Tomei co-star in the financial dramedy, based on the novel of the same name by Michael Lewis -- who also penned the book that inspired Pitt's 2012 film Moneyball, for which the actor earned an Oscar nomination.
