Actor Brad Pitt is to be the new face of Chanel No.5 perfume, one of the most famous fragrances in the world, the French fashion house said on Wednesday.
“Chanel has selected world renowned actor Brad Pitt to be the face of the upcoming advertising campaign for Chanel No.5,” Chanel said in a brief statement on its Twitter account. Chanel gave no details but the deal is thought to mark the first time that the iconic perfume for women will be marketed by a man.

Pitt, 48, the star of movies like “Fight Club” and “Ocean’s Eleven,”joins former faces of the brand such as Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp’s longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Tautou and the iconic Marilyn Monroe.
Chanel No. 5 was the first perfume launched by legendary French designer Coco Chanel in 1922. It became associated with Marilyn Monroe after the actress famously said the fragrance was all she wore to bed.
Of course Brad should feel right at home promoting all things French, he and his partner Angelina purchased an old Chateau in the south of France a few years ago and have been renovating it ever since. Chateau Miraval dates from pre-Roman times (720-121 BC.) and is located in a village called Brignol, which is near Aix-en-Provence.
