OlderBrad Pitt Goes on ‘Parade’
Brad Pitt tells Parade that one thing that is certain are his kids, Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 16 months. Here are some snippets from his interview:
On his increasing doubt in religion as he got older: “I had crises of faith. I thought you had to experience things if you want to know right from wrong. I’d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I’d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor. Then I’d be told, ‘That’s the Devil’s music! Don’t partake in that!’ I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience.”
On having scuttled his fundamentalist beliefs by the time he entered college: “When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self,” he says. “I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”
On his faith in his family: “What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in my family. I still have faith in that.”
On his early taste with fame: “When fame really hit me was when ‘Legends of the Fall’ was released. You get no warning about what celebrity is or how to deal with it. It’s sort of multitiered. The initial stage is feeling discombobulated and not up to the task. I didn’t understand the incessant attention when I went outside, the way people completely focused on me. It made me very uncomfortable. Then you start to see the fickleness of celebrity that it isn’t rooted in something of real value. There is this strange wanting by people to get next to you. It has nothing to do with you but with something they feel they are missing in themselves.”
On the crazy paparazzi: “I understand the tabloid machine. There’s money to be made off of Angie and me, but it has gotten so out-of-hand. There’s no decency, even when it comes to our kids. I mean, yesterday Angie was taking Maddie off to school. There were 30 paparazzi outside. One guy sticks a video camera in Mad’s face, yelling, ‘Maddox! Maddox!’ He doesn’t get a response. He doesn’t know my boy. Mad is already savvy to this, unfortunately. But my 2-year-old dreads being anyplace there are cameras. It scares her. They’re all in her face. My kids are faced with this every day! It’s disgusting. So we’ve been run out of L.A., all the major cities. We just can’t live there. You don’t understand–this is the hunt, the hunt, the hunt! I thought it might be over a year ago. It’s gotten worse.”

he is so hot
GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS!
love you brad.
Jennifer Aniston is the top selling cover girl of magazines.
Great interview. It gave a little more info into his life that I did not know and lets you know more about him opposed just asking questions about him and Angie. It is too bad that all of us have made the media hound this wonderful family.
On his faith in his family: “What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in my family. I still have faith in that.”
…. Brad Pitt
First!!!!!!!!
He is so hot.
happy BLD you all here.
face is deteriorating. looking like a stranger
Let’s continue to ignore the trolls.
Happy BLD to all, have to pretend to do some work now. BBL.
Whoop!!! A new thread thanks Jared!!!!
BRB I am gathering pics and videos…for our BLD celebration :-)
Yawn.
Happy Brad Liberation Day!
He is a very good family man,love this man and his beautiful family,the jolie-pitts.
Love this man…
He is so full of it.
Perhaps if he stopped talking about his kids and putting them out there for every photo op there wouldn’t be 30 photographers waiting for maddox to leave school. All Brad & Angelina have done is movie their kids from one big city to the next while they work or promote movies.
If they want to work, great, if they want to promote movies, great, but don’t drag your kids thru it.
Have Brad & Angelina run off to the Country to live, Nope.
Why don’t the reporters call him out on this.
smokin’ hot
why does he always have those hats on? he’s not losing his hair and i think he looks better w/out them. he shouldn’t cover up his handsome face. :)
Baby
WHERE did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into the here.
Where did you get those eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand strok’d it as I went by.
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than any one knows.
Whence that three-corner’d smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and hands?
Love made itself into bonds and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs’ wings.
How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.

Happy Liberation Day, Brad!!!!
I was just on the mega post for Brad and Angelina and was watching the video of MAMS (page 754). I had never noticed, but when Brad races over to give Angie a hug or something , the producer stops him,lines him up for a picture and then when Brad turns his head to look at Angie, the producer takes his own hand that is behind Brad and turns Brad’s head back towards the picture. Brad had only one thing on his mind-Angie. Do you think they had seen each other between the premier and when he returned from Morocco ? Maybe someone can answer that question for me?
It’s amazing that they cope with this attention as well as they do. They’ve been very generous in sharing their family with us.
interesting
Blessings! Brad
