Brad Pitt and his tasty snacks stole the show at Wimbledon over the weekend.
The Hollywood actor, 59, was in the crowd to watch Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in the men's final on Sunday.
Ageless Brad, who turns 60 in December, donned sunglasses and munched on some crisps as the tennis took place, much to fans' delight.
Footage of the Fight Club actor cramming crisps into his mouth even managed to make it into the BBC's highlight montage of the day.
"The secret to looking young is clearly eating crisps. Look at Brad Pitt and Gary Lineker," one viewer joked on Twitter on Sunday.

But sadly for crisps fans, it turns out thin slices of deep fried potatoes are not the secret to Brad's eternally youthful looks.

"Brad truly looks after himself. He’s not trying to look younger, but looks the healthiest version of himself," the UK medical director of the New York Dermatology Group at the Harrods Wellness Clinic, Dr Costas Papageorgiou explained in 2020. "Brad also appears to have protected his face and neck from the sun to preserve skin elasticity, inflammation and redness."
The dermatology expert continued to muse how Brad seems to have shunned obvious plastic surgery or tweakments in order to retain his movie star looks, noting the actor's face boasts a "lack of botox or visible surgery".

"Brad appears to have very subtly invested in some ‘tweakments’ to retain a youthful appearance.
"He has reduced fine lines today and his skin is dewy and fresh. Therefore he may have has botox to reduce wrinkles and face peels will help to rejuvenate his skin," Laura Kay, cosmetics specialist and founder of Laura Kay London, told FEMAIL when discussing the Oscar Award-winning actor's youthful appearance.
She went on to add: "He could also have focused on certain areas including the neck, jowls and his hairline/hair that are very noticeable signs of ageing – and with a skilled practitioner people will hardly notice the difference, yet it will look transformative. He will also be prioritizing a skincare regime with day and night cream to help hydrate the surface layers of the skin."
Brad has never publicly admitted to going under to knife or having any tweakments but did reveal all about his skincare routine during an interview with his ex Gwyneth Paltrow last year.

During their candid chat in September, Brad jokingly praised his former flame for getting him to wash his face.

"It was a long time ago. I don’t remember if I was the one," Gwyneth replied. "But you know, I’m always trying to encourage everybody to wash their face. A clean face is a good thing, even for Brad!"
Gwyneth isn't the only ex helping Brad stay young, with the actor admitting ex-wife Jennifer Aniston also contributes to his youthful looks. The dad-of-four made the revelation last year during another promotional interview to promote his skincare line ahead of its launch.
"Aniston keeps sending me stuff. I haven’t tried [her haircare], but she sent it. She’s all over it, I trust her. Paltrow is all over it too. I’ll call her up, ‘I need a tip’, [then it’s] approved or not approved," Brad revealed to Glamour, before admitting his wellness routine is simply: "Trying to stay physical, try to eat healthy a little bit, try to stay creative."
