HOLLYWOOD, CA<\/b> \u2013 As he approaches his 62nd birthday, actor Brad Pitt continues to be a commercial and cultural force, but his famously youthful, lightened hair recently drew mocking criticism from online trolls who claimed he was attempting to defy age, typified by the viral line: \u201cBrad Pitt is 61 and still dyeing his hair blonde.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The mockery was swiftly and savagely countered not by Pitt himself, but by his long-time friend and collaborator, George Clooney. Clooney reportedly posted an iconic throwback photo of the two with a decisive, viral caption that shut down the age debate instantly: \u201cThis man ages like whiskey, you age like milk.
