Brad Pitt ditches his beard

(CBS) Now you see it, now you don't.

Sometime between walking the red carpet at the premiere of partner Angelina Jolie's new film "Kung Fu Panda 2" on Sunday and showing up at the Los Angeles premiere of his film "The Tree of Life" on Tuesday, Brad Pitt found some time to shave off his beard.

The actor has been sporting scruff on and off for the past two years. He shaved it off last July, when he was spotted on the set of the film "Moneyball," but had since let it grow out again.

When asked last year whether there was a reason for the beard, he told Britain's Sun that he just couldn't be bothered to change it.

"It's boredom. No other reason than that," he said at the time.
