From Achilles To Buddha

For a guy about to celebrate his 41st birthday, Brad Pitt still has the looks and body that practically every man in the world would love to be equipped with. Now, the "Troy" star isn't through with playing ancient mythical figures - playing a half-God like Achilles isn't enough, the man is now going the whole hog.

<a href="http://www.megastar.co.uk/ents/news/2004/11/23/sMEG01MTEwMTIxMzg2NjE.html" target="_blank">Megastar</a> reports that Bollywood superstar and former Miss World Aishwarya
Rai may feature with Pitt  in a film about Buddha which the American stud may be playing himself. Richard Gere, that most famous of celebrity Buddhists, is reported to be keen to dig in his pockets  to help finance the movie.

Pitt recently wrapped up work on &quot;Mr. and Mrs. Smith&quot;, the Doug Liman action comedy which stars Pitt and Angelina Jolie as husband and wife who have no idea each other are assassins who've just been given orders to kill each other.
