In the Age of the Celebrity Brand™, Brad Pitt's entry into the skincare game is at the same time expected and head-scratching. Why wouldn't one of the most famous and handsome men in the world sling skincare? But Pitt also seems reluctant, cautious even, to become known as a beauty mogul. In interviews, he's expressed plausible deniability that he has more than the most basic skincare routine and has voiced contempt at the term "anti-aging" despite the fact that Le Domaine's claims are around slowing the aging process. At first, the hesitancy of Pitt to truly discuss skincare when being interviewed about his own skincare collection seems a bit performative, but there could be some truth to it.

I'm a fantasy football commissioner. I run seventeen leagues, in fact. I fill them with people, collect dues, allocate it all, repeat. Effectively, it's the housekeeping of our hobby, in which we draft NFL players and pit them against each other, week to week. here's something about the nexus of football, gambling, and statistics that just gets me. When that trifecta of pleasure meets, I feel an internal click—ping!—and before I knew it was missing, a missing piece of my mental puzzle emerges from underneath the sofa. Fantasy football gets me, not in that it consumes my attention—though my partner, Cynthia, would beg to differ—but in a way that feels symbiotic. |

A lament and an ode to the 50-something man in my house. |
| "Everyone you speak to speaks about the inability to live," CNN's Nima Elbagir tells Esquire from the Iran-Iraq border, "and that is what is giving birth to this willingness to die." |

In public and onscreen, Black Adam star Aldis Hodge exhibits radioactive levels of charisma. But one-on-one, he's reserved, deliberate, focused—and driven. As we chat, he reels off a long list of hobbies and ventures, including Hodge Brothers Productions, a company he runs alongside his older brother, Edwin (a fixture in the Purge films). "When you called me? I'm literally in the middle of finishing a new pilot that we're trying to create, develop, and move. . . . I don't have a personal assistant," he says seriously. "I need one." |
