Brad Pitt has returned to portray Cliff Booth in the much-anticipated sequel, generating buzz due to a distinctive change: a new wig. The first images from the upcoming film have sparked diverse responses, centered around the noticeable hairpiece worn by Pitt’s character.
The buzz online focuses on the “Brad Pitt Cliff Booth wig” after the Hollywood star was spotted on set with a longer, blond hairstyle that differs from his natural hair seen in the original movie. Fans and critics alike have taken note of this significant alteration as he reprises his role.
Public Reactions to Pitt’s Blonde Hair in Character
On location in Los Angeles, Brad Pitt appeared almost unrecognizable to fans who saw him sporting a disheveled blond wig instead of his usual hair. Although Pitt had recently shown a buzz cut during F1 promotional events, the sequel required a return to a more rugged and longer-haired Cliff Booth look, achieved through the wig.
His costume stayed true to the character’s recognizable style, including the yellow Hawaiian shirt, blue jeans, and the signature toothpick consistently held in Booth’s mouth. Despite the nostalgic elements, fans’ attention fixed primarily on his hairpiece, which appeared less natural than the hairstyle in the first film.
The reactions were split: many expressed enthusiasm with comments such as “Awesome!” and “Can’t wait…,” while others criticized the appearance. One user bluntly said,
They need to fix his hair…
and another remarked,
They used his real hair in the first movie, and this looks like a not-so-great wig.
Details About the Sequel and Its Makers
The sequel, titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher, with Quentin Tarantino, who created the original character, returning as the writer. This film is expected to delve deeper into Booth’s backstory, expanding upon both the 2019 movie and Tarantino’s novel, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: A Novel.
The project was reportedly developed after Tarantino postponed another screenplay set in the 1970s, The Movie Critic, which was also planned to include Cliff Booth. Tarantino has announced he does not intend to direct another film until his children are older, placing this sequel’s development in a unique position within his career timeline.
Currently, The Adventures of Cliff Booth remains in the development phase, with no official release date provided, leaving fans eager but uncertain about when they will see Brad Pitt reprise his iconic role.
