Brad Pitt reveals in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he grew sick of himself in the late 90s, saying he was “smoking way too much dope … sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut.”
Pitt said his attitude towards life changed when he traveled to Morocco and saw poverty he had never witnessed before. The “Moneyball” star says the poor children touched him and almost overnight he decided something had to give, explaining, “I just quit. I stopped grass then, I mean pretty much, and decided to get off the couch.”
The actor and his partner of seven years, Angelina Jolie, have previously stated that they would not get married until gay marriage is legalized, but there seems to be a shift in their position. Pitt told the trade paper, “We’d actually like to and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.”
When asked if he has popped the question, the actor replied, “I’m not going to go any further.”
Brad and Angelina have six kids, and they apparently haven’t ruled out adding more. “We haven’t closed the book on it. There’s a really nice balance in the house right now, but if we see the need and get that lightning bolt that says, ‘We can help this person; we could do something here,’ then absolutely,” said Pitt.
In the interview, Pitt also touches on his move away from his strict Southern Baptist upbringing, saying it was hard on his parents but they love him unconditionally.
On Politics: “I’m an Obama supporter, no question, but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing to learn from the other side.”
And about that ski slope accident in which Pitt suffered a torn knee ligament. Pitt reveals the mishap actually took place when he was carrying his daughter in his backyard. Seems the more glamorous story was started as a joke by pal George Clooney.

I think he’s pretty darn nice to look at too. Keep acting brad. Life is alot of work. Movies are an indulgence that truly eases some of the stresses and I must admit, I like to see familiar faces in movies. I dont want new stars, I dont want to see tautl pulled faces with squinty eyes because you just got a face lift. I want to see the starts I grew up with, and I want to see them looking NORMAL. Dont get the botox. I love Jen too, let the wrinkles show, ladies, gentlemen, you’d be surprised how much we actually would appreciate it. Just keep the good stories coming.

Don’t do it, Brad! Live with her for awhile first, see if you two are compatible.

So, marry her, already, and stop blathering.

Wow! What an evolved human being! Could there be anything more important in the world than what this man thinks about how he was living his life or who he wants to be married to for a few years? Gosh, we’re so in tune with what matters, aren’t we?

Who cares what Brad Pitt things besides his kids. He sounds like he still smokes alot of dope. Children need stability, a foundation, they need to know that they will awaken in the same bed tomorrow morning. These people are like gypsies with their poor kids as adornments. Go ahead and have some more children and as to the dysfunction. Yea Brad, I’m sure your parents are real proud of you. Marry the nut and prove that your too are crazy too.

LISTN2: These two people are probably BETTER parents and more stable than half the idiots we see in the news each day that harm their children with actual torture or murder. Their children probably have a GREAT life. I’ve seen more dysfunction in the news about everyday folks than I have from certain Hollywood types. I’d bet his parents ARE quite proud of their son – I would be. Do you have KIDS??? Are you proud of them??? Better yet, are they proud of YOU???

Why does brad fine a need to announce this news to the public.Is he jealous about something?too late Brad. No body cares. People have moved on. it doesnot matter now. If he is so gong ho about marrying Jezebel just do it. We don’t care. It is your life brad. if you do I will give you six months before you two separate because marriage for some reason after you live together as long as you two have takes something out of the relationship. You two skanks deserve each other. You still won’t escape karma. Look for it.

There is a way to tell if something you want to do in your life is right, it is a line from the bible,”You reap what you sow.”Just ask yourself do I want to reap this, sow the values you want to reap in your children, if you sow hate and judgement of others that is what you will reap. Sow LOVE and acceptence, don’t hate war LOVE peace. No one can judge these people but GOD
