Brad Pitt invests $40m in Carmel estate that sits perilously close to a seaside cliff

Actor and producer Brad Pitt made his big-screen debut in the 1989 horror film Cutting Class and his role in 1994's Legends of the Fall helped secured his place as a Hollywood staple. A two-time winner of People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" title, Pitt also proved willing to take on grittier roles for features like Seven (1995) and Fight Club (1999).
