Brad Pitt has been sent a chocolate award in the shape of his face. The "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" star received the 10lb solid dark chocolate figurine depicting his likeness to make up for losing out on an Oscar.
Deodorant brand AXE, known as Lynx in the UK, sent the sweet statuette, saying: "We still feel your performance deserves a statue, one that's a bit sweeter."
Brad has so far failed to bag a major accolade so far in his acting career.
"Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was nominated for a staggering 13 Oscars, but only left with three technical prizes.
Brad lost out in the Best Actor category to Sean Penn, who portrayed a gay US politician Harvey Milk in biopic "Milk."
This isn't the first time Brad has experienced disappointment at the Academy Awards. In 1996, he was beaten to the Best Supporting Actor by Cuba Gooding Jr. for "Jerry Maguire."
Brad had been nominated for his acclaimed role in "12 Monkeys."
