J.D. in Thelma and Louise

Looking at the screen shot to the left, the first thing that the viewer's eye is drawn to are Brad Pitt's abs. The fact that Brad Pitt is shirtless in this picture is glaringly obvious. Brad Pitt's role as J.D. in Thelma and Louise marks his first significant role in a major Hollywood film, and he already establishes himself as a sex symbol. His tousled hair gives a rebellious air to the screen shot, while the cowboy hat perched on the lamp and his holding a hair dryer lends the viewer to question what exactly is going on in this clip. The top of Pitt's jeans are visible, which establish his character as a working man, a normal and relatable person. The mountain painting in the background implies a sense of adventure, lending to his image as a young, fun-loving guy. With this choice of character, Brad Pitt adds to a provocative star image, making a statement with his first impression in Hollywood.
