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.”

Yeah actually I know two girls name Lars but just because you say your name is Lars and you are a man doesn’t mean you are. I was watching the news about a man in Cali that flew to Mich b/c he thought he was going to get some from a five year old but it turned out to be a middle aged polic officer with handcuffs and a nice cell for him to stay in. Just b/c you say you are something doesn’t mean you are. I hate to destory your vision of the world but people lie online alot! But continue on and show everyone how big of an idiot you really are.
It makes me really sad .when I see one sad and desperate haters write and answer to herself.are they that much desperate.

Another favorite pic. It’s from the Vogue article last year. Brad can’t stay away from his woman. She is doing a photo shoot for her magazine interview, and yet he has to join in. :lol:

God, I pity the poor sods married to women like Hmmmmm and those who agree with her. Every day must be a living nightmare for these poor guys. Imagine having to declare their love every minute of every day.
Wake up in the morning, first words out of his mouth - Love you, love, I still love you.
Going to the washroom - Honey I love you
Going to the kitchen - Honey I sooo love you
Going to work - My darling, you’re the love of my life
In the car - Sweetie, just calling to tell you nothing has changed from 5 minutes ago when I left the house….I still love you.
…..coz if they don’t do it, these emotionally insecure women will be in a panic that their men don’t love them anymore. I say we add their husbands/boyfriends to our celebration…these men deserve to be celebrated, don’t you guys think? So please join me in giving a toast to all the men out there married to insecure women…”May you one day come to your senses and kick these emotionally draining women to the curb”

The point that I think you were “trying” to make is that we don’t know what it’s like to be them. I never claimed that I did. I spoke of them as being parents. Don’t parents USUALLY try to do everything they can to keep their kids happy, secure and sheltered from unnecessarily upsetting experiences? The answer is YES. So they should try to act more like parents should. That’s my point. If you don’t like it, I don’t care. That’s why it’s MINE. You have YOURS and I have MINE. Get it? End of conversation.
hahahaha ,NOW I change my feeling ,actually I have good time at their misery.
Lars - I’m here for you.
#224 (kearnie) Nice analogy. I hope you didn’t hurt yourself thinking of it. Some of us in this world are realistic and understand what common sense is. Maybe they have been in the spot light so long that they lost touch with reality. Maybe they need to be reminded of certain “common sense” ways of raising your children!
Thanks to all with the lovely pics and postings…
It’s good to see both Brad and Angie so content and blessed. I believe that God is real to them but religion is not. They are truly living out their lives to its fullest and marching to beat of their own drum.

Jen will not marry any time soon because she loves the way her life is right now. And it seems like she loves attention and the only way for her to get it is by public admiration of her situation - left for another woman.
See, you’ve got to wonder too…after seeing a therapist for 13 yrs..how come nothing changed. I MEAN..NOTHING changed in her life.
Jen’s issues are deep…goes back to her childhood and are still there. Whatever issues that this girl has have affected her self-esteem, personality, relationship, motherhood, caring, and practically anything that money can’t buy.
I mean, you would think that by now - a woman pushing 40 - she would have done an 11 hour dash to deal with whatever issues these are and is on the way to the 40s..having grown some and more and that we would see it one in form or another. Nope. It is still same old same old stuff - shooting films and signing up for the 10th films. Then the woman has the gall to wonder why her marriage failed and why she does not have a long term relationship. It is because she uses men to move up the industry and never marry them for the right reason.
In Jen’s world, men are for one and only two purposes - sex and career growth
——————————————
This is one of best posts I have read with in a long time, I agree with you. While we don’t know “Jen” personally. If she truly changed as a human being we would see a glimpse of it. It seems Brad showed growth as a human being , while Aniston is still stuck in the same place. She obviously loved/loves the life she is leading. But I can now understand what Brad means , when he says he couldn’t sit on the couch anymore. Her fans are so busy hating , that they can’t or refuse to see that Jen has basically lied in a bunch of interviews regarding all these big changes she was going to make. She is still tanning , working, and hanging out with her family (oops my bad friends/coworkers. There is nothing wrong with that, but why should she and her fans be pissed because Brad did not want to live such a life anymore. If she truly knew what the word “compromise”was and support peharps she and brad would still be together If she at least made a effort to get off the couch and go places and discover new things with her husband, maybe they would still be together. The Vanity Fair article was a production worthy of a award. Brad check out of the marriage…Jennifer wanting kids more than Brad, when you look at Brad and Jens actions since that article, by Brad living his life he has made her and friends look like the liars they are. He is today is able to say she is a friend, that shows class, but ya know after reading the parade interview, it shows his christian values and roots, he may have strayed from them, but they are still there. forgiveness and turning the other cheek. That Parade article is wonderful because it shows that Brad is a decent and good person, and more and more of Anistons true colors are coming out. The tabloids will never researdh the Brad and Jen story in the right way, or show the other side to this “wronged woman story” because as the forbes article says jen moves magazines because she is seen as this. The tabloids are making money , so they will never come out and say Brad “was the wronged man” that does not sell. It is shame actually , but in the end whose career is suffering because of this “charade” the tabloids and Aniston herself created. It certainly not Brad, not only is making movies (something Aniston clearly wants) he seems to be fulfilled because that is not his world. So if that world (movies) end he still has his family. What does jen have when all this fame and pity, and career ends? That is what fans should be concern about .
There is a video about LA MAMS premiere, when Brad saw Angie, he totally lost his coolness. I don’t know what he was going to do if the producer didn’t stop him. Can someone post that video please? it is so hot.

bwhahahah
i can spot an idiot from a mile away! : 10/02/2007 at 4:18 pm
YEEEAAAAHHH. Umm….you know two girls named Lars huh? That’s a little bit SCARY as is your reference to PEDOPHILES. My name is my name and I have no reason to lie about it. I am not covering up for anything b/c I don’t have to. You obviously DO and that’s why you are so suspicious of others. But keep bringing on some more nonsensical posts. It HILARIOUS and proves that you are the TRUE idiot in this scenario. You’re a total joke, dude!!!!!!! You don’t even get it do you???? LOL
