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.”

I can’t believe that Brad is going to be 44 in Dec and he is still hot but I have to say this and I know I will get shot for this but I’m going to say it…I HATE THAT HAT! I kind of miss the Fedora hat he was sporting there for a while.

Didn’t Brad say on a TV interview that Angelina is his GREAT LOVE and A FANTASTIC MOTHER already?
What else do you want him to do? Repeat that over and over and over?
Why does this man have to repeat himself and explain himself to the media over and over again?
Why don’t you get it? For once and for all HE LOVES ANGELINA. And there is nothing you haters can do about it. THE END.

Hi Tijen, how are you? Yep he said it and we posted it several times . But the point is they are brain washed with hatred they just can not appreciate the good things in life. One very late night several weeks ago I got pissed off at the trolls and said…. Even if Brad ripped Angies cloths off in the middle of the Yankee stadium and made wild passionate love to her and declared this is the woman I love and will love her for the rest of my life, they still won’t believe it :lol: But, I sure would love to see that :lol: :lol: :lol: OK I am bad :oops: :oops:
Here is that video you mentioned above… Please stick around if you can. Well our stalkers might come out, but they are funny :-)

Well, he certainly missed a good opportunity to give a shout out to his girlfriend for the folks in the US to see - Parade would have been a great venue for that. Instead, the article is somewhat depressing and the fact that he calls the notion that Jolie had a hand in making him the better and more humanitarian/giving/thoughtful person he is today than he was 2 years ago “Idiotic” is kind of a let down. Hasn’t he said before that she made him a better man? Why is it suddenly an idiotic notion?
He missed the opportunity to give credit where credit is due.

I am afraid that JA fans won’t let this thing go till Jennifer finds and marries and has a child with someone that they approve of. So I say that we all pray that Jennifer finds that person SOON. Until then her fans will not rest easy.
Thanks guli and JJ. Yes I can post again. Very happy about it. My next class is about to start and I will have to stop soon but soooo happy to be back. :)
The haters can suck it.
Oh and thanks for posting my video…

I agree with you. JA is responsible for the whole BS. I hope she can find a man very soon. I was praying for her and OB, but now it seems not possible. This woman is loser.
Angie in Sudan 2004:

I probably had a crisis in my 30’s. I had a turbulent life (while married to his ex). Some of my movies flopped. My career suffered greatly.
Life is too short. I need life to be everything I want it to be. My ex and I decided to end the charade because we both want to lead meaningful lives. Together we cannot have purpose driven lives because we have divergent goals and different priorities in life. I respect the deep friendship we shared for seven years. Angelina is not the cause of the break-up of the farcical MERGER.
After meeting Angie, I became a NEW man, both intimately and artistically speaking. She is my great love, the mother of my kids and she means the world to me.
Angie and I are as much as in love as in the first day. I am totally committed to her. She is the only focus in my vision for the future.

Happy liberation day to both Brad and his ex!
They know they made the right decision ‘cos they are so incompatible. Together, they were unhappy; divorced they have found their respective happiness.

This is his way to let the loonies know he’s done with angelina. He did the same with Jen.
He’s such a moron he has to repeat the same move twice.
Yippe LA!!!!! So you’ll join us after your classes :-)

So basically Ben Affleck not mentioning Jennifer Garner in his interview does that mean he doesn’t love her. Stop being silly I think it’s pretty obvious this man is in love with his woman by everything he does and how he talks about his family

Let’s see……..Would the “that” that you are referring to be my
PEN!S????? Why are you scared to just come out and say it? Do you have issues or something? Maybe you’re the “Idiot” who needs help. P.S. Why do you keep changing your name? What’s with all the secrecy?
One of my favorite pics of B&A. Hope the link works, since it has been a while since I uploaded pics.

i completely agree and I don’t understand how angie could be with someone who barely acknowledges her. the other day someone said they watched a red carpet video that showed his pr lady trying to get him to doge questions about Angelina.
You KNOW, it has to be hurtful for her. the man she loves can barely even talk about her because he’s got the pr stick so far up his ass.
