Washington, Feb 27: For Brad Pitt, wax statuettes are certainly passe, because the actor has now been honoured with a sweet treat- a solid dark chocolate bust in his likeness.

Although the `Curious Case of Benjamin Button' star lost out on the Best Actor Oscar, he has been given a chocolate replica of himself as a consolation prize by deodorant brand Axe.

The actor lost out on the Academy Award to Sean Penn for the latter's performance in `Milk'.

But Bosses at Axe have sent the chocolate statuette to the star for promoting their new Dark Temptation fragrance.

According to Contactmusic, the replica came with an accompanying note, which read: "We still feel your performance deserves a statue, one that''s a bit sweeter." (ANI)
