Brad Pitt comes across as down-to-earth

He “is not pretentious. There’s nothing artsy-fartsy about him,” director says.

Variety praises Pitt for giving his character “weight and strength,” and the Hollywood Reporter calls his performance “committed.”

Bring up Pitt’s name to anyone associated with him, and you hear stories of personal thank-you notes, congratulatory e-mails and a level of thoughtfulness unusual in a star of his caliber.

“Brad is not pretentious. There’s nothing artsy-fartsy about him,” says “Running With Scissors” director Ryan Murphy. “Brad is incredibly enthusiastic. I heard he’d liked the script, and I met him at the (production) offices, and here come these handmade Prada shoes with Brad Pitt attached. He said something to me like, ‘You’ve got wicked skills.’”

That unaffectedness, says Simon Kinberg, who wrote the 2005 hit “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “is kind of an amazing thing. It’s not a game or strategy with him.”

In particular, Kinberg remembers one long day of shooting when the exhausted cast and crew had worked into the night and saw no end in sight.

“Brad, out of the blue, started doing jumping jacks, calling out to the crew, getting everyone’s spirits up at 4 a.m. at some awful diner in downtown L.A.,” Kinberg says. “He was the guy who would cheerlead for the movie — and he didn’t have to. He’s the top, and the energy flows from the top down.”

Pitt doesn’t mind looking less than perfect. In “Babel,” he goes gray and has bags under his eyes.

This isn’t a star with blockbuster on the brain.

Ever since he stole hearts in 1991’s “Thelma & Louise,” he has had hits (1995’s serial killer drama “Se7en,” last year’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”), but just as many misses (1997’s “Seven Years in Tibet,” 2004’s “Troy”).

He has earned one Oscar nomination, for his supporting turn in 1995’s “Twelve Monkeys.”

These days, Pitt mixes it up. He took a pay cut for 2007’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” but he’s also reprising Rusty Ryan in the third “Ocean’s” installment, due in June.

Film historian Leonard Maltin applauds Pitt’s willingness to “sacrifice some of his movie-star persona for the sake of a really good part. What we’re seeing is his willingness, if not downright eagerness, to challenge himself with more demanding and daring roles.”

And that gets major props from Darren Aronofsky, who was ready to direct Pitt in “The Fountain” before the actor dropped out because of creative differences.

“Brad’s a great guy, and we’re still friendly. We’re OK with the breakup,” Aronofsky says. “Brad’s a really smart, very talented guy. He’s come to a place in his work where he’s doing interesting stuff. He’s looking great. The pretty-boy thing wasn’t my type of hetero joy. I like the wizened Brad now.”

Others appreciate his taste for the unconventional, such as his decision to executive-produce the documentary “God Grew Tired of Us: The Story of Lost Boys of Sudan.”

Writer/director Christopher Quinn had run out of money and says that, without Pitt’s help, the movie would likely not have been made.

Quinn, introduced through their mutual friends, met Pitt at his home. The meeting was casual and Pitt was disarming.

But, Quinn says, he “has incredible follow-through. When we won (two awards) at Sundance, he sent me a note saying how proud he was to be a part of the movie.”

Amaya - Yes, that’s what it is. It’s CM’s shrill voice and not to mention the hair. Lol. The only MSNBC person I like is KO.

Dean was grinning on TDS. Jon even said sorry about the part about hanging paper on doors. Aww. Yeah I didn’t think he would bring up the “I” word but all I could think in my mind was about subpoenas. Boo - ya!!! LOL.

Stephen was showing off his vocal talent again tonight. I think he has a thing about singing duets. I was laughing so hard about the “The Word” segment, I had tears in my eyes. That was the best one so far. The comment about the drapes was so sexist, I couldn’t believe what I heard. Lol. If Nancy hires him, you know someone will go crazy. Wha?? A ***** on capitol hill? For shame!
————————————————————-
I was happy that when CM said that he and Keith voted because and when he was on Craig Ferguson he said that he didn’t vote but he didn’t specify for which elections. So snaps for him for changing his tune for this election lol

For a second, I was so afraid that HD would say playfully say the yaaah! But I liked the “Boo-Ya!”

As far as a homosexuals on Capitol Hill I think we can agree that they’re there.. just not all of them are out. Thom would be great and I mean, from what I know of her I wouldn’t be surprised if she already knew him.

All right…is it just me or does every impersonation of Geraldo sound gay? LOL Because Stephen and Keith both have one and they do sound like it! Stephen’s been doing his for over 20 years but both impressions are good. Obviously I’m not calling Geraldo gay because he’s not, I just think it’s kind of funny.

ey ariel we just got -2 for now!not cold at all!how you doin’ girl?
