The 48-year-old `World War Z` actor will make history as the famous fragrance`s first male model.

According to E! Online, Pitt will shoot his first campaign in London this week.

He will reportedly receive a seven-figure sum for the advertisements that will be release near the end of this year.

The father-of-six follows in the footsteps of stars including Catherine Deneuve, Nicole Kidman, Lauren Hutton, Estella Warren and Ali MacGraw, who has also represented the women`s scent.

The star and his fiancée Angelina Jolie recently purchased a new home in the city he is to shoot the adverts in.

The Hollywood pair decided to buy the property - named Whornes Place - while renting it for ¸30,000 a month last summer.

Pitt was filming his zombie thriller last summer when they were staying in the capital city`s borough of Richmond with their six children.

The property has an indoor pool and 15th century wooden beams, according to The Sun.

A source said: "Brad and Angelina hold an affection for the UK, so this investment makes sense."
