Dude, Parade Magazine gave Brad Pitt some kind of truth serum. This is the most I?ve ever seen or heard from Brad on a range of subjects. This issue of Parade will be out this weekend, and they not only have a really good interview with Brad, they have some nice photos of him too. Some of the greatest hits from the interview include: Brad calling Angelina his soul mate, complaining about the hate mail from ?religious groups? after he spoke out about gay marriage, smoking ?grass? (Brad?s cultural references are so 1970s), his struggles to learn French, and sex in his grotto. Good stuff:
Wanting what’s best for his children: “Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are.”
Why he won’t marry Angelina Jolie: “I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it–hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”
The right to love: “Man, I resent people telling others how to live! It drives me mental! Just the other night, I heard this TV reverend say that Angie and I were setting a bad example because we were living out of wedlock, and people should not be duped by us! It made me laugh. What damn right does anyone have to tell someone else how to live if they’re not hurting anyone? How many times do you think real love comes to someone in a lifetime? If you’re lucky, maybe two or three.”
Knowing real love: “Do you know how you tell real love? It’s when someone else’s interest trumps your own. I like to put it that way: trumps your own. Love of somebody else–of family, of your kids–becomes the most important, most worthwhile thing in your life. It’s what you foster and protect. You have to recognize real love when it’s there and know that in going after it there is always risk. To live with love, you have to chance losing it. That’s also true when you decide to have kids. It’s the risk you take for love.”
Lessons learned: “As I’ve gotten older I’ve become aware that time is fleeting. I don’t want to waste whatever I have left. I want to spend it with the people I love, and I want to do things that really mean something.”
Admitting his fears: “Angie’s mom died a couple of years ago of cancer. I haven’t had to face a lot of death. I’m untried in that way, and I don’t know how I will deal with it. My real fear at this point is the safety and health of Angie and the kids. The fear of losing them is what keeps me up at night.”
Owning up to his biggest role: “I don’t know who or what is meant to be in my life, but this is certainly where I want to be. Here with them. I think this is the pinnacle. Even as I’m bound to this thing, in a way I’m freer than I’ve ever been.”
Becoming a family man: “My life has been about big changes. It’s always been that way. When I go down a path, I take it to the end. Then I take another one. I took the path of not having kids–now it’s time for family. Children are a dominant value in my life now, and they weren’t before. They were always something I thought I’d get around to having when the time was right. It wasn’t what I was really seeking. In a way, I think I had to go and exhaust me before I could be good at being a parent. This family is full of life! There are laughs, aggravations, irritations, but at the end of the day, it’s fun. When life is really good, it’s messy.”
His early days in Hollywood: “I liked to smoke a bit of grass at the time, and I became very sheltered. Then I got bored. I was turning into a damn doughnut, really. So I moved as far away from that as I could. I was done. In Missouri, where I come from, we don’t talk about what we do–we just do it. If we talk about it, it’s seen as bragging.”
Building his dream house: “This was my first architectural experience where I tried doing something myself. It is something I wanted to do for decades. This is like play to me. It’s the only thing that can take me away from any problems I may have. After a few years of work, it came out so nice. Now I’ve got so many damn kids, it’s the only place we could all fit in. We’re double-bunking rooms as it is.”
About the secret stone grotto behind the waterfall in his pool?: “[It's] a great place for sex.”
Raising an international family: “I travel a lot. I don’t feel restless, I just like to travel. I like to see it all. We’re trying to spend more time in the South of France, because our kids have a more normal life there. I don’t believe there is any way around our kids being international. So we have projects in each of their respective countries, and we put a big emphasis on their learning their native languages.”
His foreign fantasy: “I wish there had been an emphasis on learning a foreign language where I grew up. It frustrates the hell out of me. I’ve studied French. I don’t speak it. I’m working on it. It’s real slow going. Oh, how I suffer! Those synapses never formed! They’re dry-docked for good!”

Granted, some of this stuff Brad has talked about before, but you have to pick little pieces here and there. I don?t think I?ve heard Brad call Angelina his soul mate. If you read it carefully, I suppose, he doesn?t really say that Angelina is his soul mate, only that ?I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely? while he?s talking generally about Angelina. I assumed it?s her. Am I wrong? Is Brad having hot, wet, grotto sex with some other soul mate?

Much like the Bild interview with Brad Pitt that was recently published, this Times Online interview seems to have taken place while Brad was at the Cannes Film festival, and is only being published now as part of the early promotion for Inglourious Basterds, out later this month. Getting his ?lush? cred out of the way early in the interview, Brad admits that he?s hungover, and that he had a ?late night? now, I need coffee.? The interview is really long, so if you?d like to read the whole thing, go to the Times Online site. The person who wrote the piece is obsessed with rehashing all of the tabloid rumors surrounding Brad and Angelina, although Brad doesn?t veer off-message even once during the interview. His message? ?Meh? to whatever the tabloids writing. Here are some excerpts:
On the split rumors: ?Yeah, we?re really miserable,? Pitt deadpans but conveniently doesn?t answer the question directly. Later, he insists the red carpet appearance wasn?t simply a PR exercise. ?No, no. It?s fun up there and I love it. We?re not even really aware of what is going on.? He?s clearly weary of discussing the one area that lurks, like the proverbial elephant in the room, around any journalistic encounter with him. ?We just don?t really participate,? he says of the phenomenon that surrounds them. ?It kind of goes on without us. It?s self-generating. When I was younger I would take it personally; it was such an injustice to me. As a man or as a woman I don?t know how they could sit there and do it. I mean, [the stories] are consciously fabricated and I don?t know how you could do that.?
On moving around so much: Pitt insists that they love it. ?Everywhere is interesting in its own way, each place has its own feel and something to offer: you pick up something, the kids are picking up something. They have this world view which we are very proud and happy that we are able to provide.?
On how the kids deal with their parents? fame: ?We?re still trying to negotiate how we explain to them what we do. It?s not strange to them that their parents will come on television. And it?s not strange for them to walk outside and for there to be a photographer. They just think if there is printed material [as he disdainfully refers to the gossip mags] hanging around, their parents might be on the cover.? Surely they must be tempted to take a peek? ?No, there?s no point.?
On family time: ?Oh, we get peace in our lives. We got out here a couple of days early with the family and we get to hang out in a place in Provence. We?re pretty good at it. You carve out that time for the family. Do we get a little silence with the kids? No, not that kind of silence ? silence is over at home, but we like that chaos??
On German beer (again): ?Berlin is not a stranger to us. I like the beer, as you can see from this morning. The beer is good.?
On working with Quentin Tarantino: ?When you get into a Tarantino film he has all the back story lined up for you. It?s all teed off and it?s really well thought out. Other films? Let me think. That requires memory and I?m struggling with that right now? Listen, I like a bit of extreme and I?m always looking for other areas and pushing in different directions, but it?s kind of incumbent on what comes your way to pick from.?
On Make It Right NOLA, Brad?s affordable housing project in for the lower 9th Ward in New Orleans: ?It?s going really well? By the end of the year we will have 100 homes and it will be the greenest, most intelligently designed neighbourhood in the United States. We have families coming in and their electric bills are $8, $12. It?s a big deal for anyone, but for a low-income family, it?s life-changing. It?s also a big deal because it?s proving [green] technology at all strata. It?s amazing and I thank everyone who?s been involved.?
On his future as an actor: ?I think [acting] is a younger man?s game; there are fewer interesting parts for older people and we all get older. But I feel like I?ve done it. I?ve kind of had my time and that?s quite freeing.?
Any acting dreams left? ?Yes, of course there are,? he smiles. ?But I?ll do them first and then we?ll talk about them.?
[From Times Online]
Yeah, Brad really sticks with his talking points for the most part. I feel like I?ve read parts of this interview before, but I?d imagine if you?re doing 40 interviews a day for a week, every question and every answer sounds the same. I did find Brad?s answers on his future as an actor very interesting. Could Brad be joining Angelina in her refrain of ?maybe I?ll quit sometime soon?? Oh, right. Brad has nineteen projects in various stages of development. He?s not quitting Hollywood for a while.

Brad Pitt told the Daily Mail that since he’s a dad now, his partying ends at 6 p.m. Someone should really get him a watch because yesterday after the Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds, Pitt partook of the fine German lager at the after-party until 2 a.m. with Quentin Tarantino and Diane Kruger while Angelina stayed home with the six kids. He left pretty drunk and then ended the night by doing blow off of Diane Kruger’s tits. Okay, I lied about the last part. It was actually me who did blow off Diane Kruger’s tits.

Brad Pitt is headed back to Los Angeles to be with his family after a massive blow-out celebration for the Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds. After posing with what looked like a painful eye infection for the Berlin photocall, Brad pulled out the stops in a great grey suit, impeccably tailored, for the premiere. Post-premiere, Brad was doing what he loves doing most in Germany - drinking. Drinking that fine German beer that he can?t get enough of. And looking a bit rough while doing it.
OK! says that Brad partied at the post-premiere party with Quentin Tarantino and the cast until 2 a.m. It looks like Brad had a great, beer-soaked night, but all of that smoke and liquor can?t be good for eye infection (joking). Unfortunately for Brad, he know seems like a bit of hypocrite/liar, because he told the Daily Mail (via People) that his ?partying ends at 6 p.m.? Which I guess means ?6 p.m. Pacific time? or ?it?s always 2 a.m. somewhere?.
He’s on top of the world as the most envied man in stardom, but Brad Pitt wants the public to understand that it can be a tougher life than they imagine.
“It’s so tough being an actor,” Pitt, 45, joked at the Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds Tuesday night ? nattily dressed in a Tom Ford gun metal grey suit, silver tie and white shirt. “Sometimes they bring you coffee, and sometimes it’s cold, and sometimes you don’t have a chair to sit on.”
But with six young ones and partner Angelina Jolie at home, he does get early nights when not working. “I’m a dad now ? my partying ends at 6 p.m.? he told the Daily Mail.
Hard work or not, Pitt clearly felt at ease in Berlin, where the Quentin Taratino-helmed film was shot and he and his family lived during filming. “It’s always great to be here and I have a lot of friends here,” he told a reporter from Bunte magazine. He also knows how to relax, German-style, when out past his 6 o’clock “curfew.” Eyewitnesses report that Pitt sauntered into the screening with a beer in his hand.
[From People]
I like Brad and everything, but he really needs to cut it out with the beer. He?s a lush. And he looks like he would be a cheap drunk too - like, give him two beers and he gets all happy and grope-y. I love Tarantino and everything, but I?m starting to think Quentin might be a bad influence on Brad. Anyway? I?m glad Brad is home now. He must have had a wicked hangover on the plane. Brad?s cure for a hangover is probably more beer, though.
Photo note by Celebitchy: Brad is shown chatting with architect Lars Krueckeberg and posing with TV host Tanja Buelter. There are also some photos of Quentin with his girlfriend/friend Talulah Freeway. She is awesome and I would love to see more of her. Maybe she’s married, though, because she is wearing rings. Diana Kruger is shown looking grumpy (I totally soured on her after seeing her smug face at the premiere) talking to Melanie Laurent. Also shown is my boyfriend, Til Schweiger, (I kid!) with Julia Malik and August Diehl. Credit: WENN.com

Forgive the huge amount of photographs, but I took these pictures! I had the thrill of photographing the red carpet at the Inglourious Basterds premiere tonight in Berlin. Thanks to the people who didn’t give me a hard time about getting a press pass, and a ladder that was there, I was able to get these photos. This was such a thrill for me after missing Pitt’s last premiere in Berlin in January while I was on vacation in Florida. Brad took time to sign autographs and chat with elated fans tonight. He told Pro Sieben that he was happy to be in Berlin in the summer for once and that he has many friends here. He also let it drop that he’d “already hit the bars.” (Or “bar,” I should have videotaped it as I don’t remember what he said exactly, but that’s pretty close.) He didn’t seem inebriated at all and came across as perfectly sober while making the rest of us, or at least me, a little giddy in his presence. (I was probably the only photographer screaming with the fans in delight, and while I tried to keep it down I just couldn’t contain myself.)
Also shown at the premiere are boxing great Wladimir Klitschko, director Quentin Tarantino, and Brad’s co-stars Diane Kruger and Til Schweiger. Diane looked lovely in a little neutral-colored dress. It was Brad who stole the show, though, just by showing up.
Update: The video from Pro Seiben is not yet on their website, but reader Kay e-mailed me to say that Brad might have just been using the expression “I’ve already hit the bar” to say that he was tired. It was loud and I couldn’t hear the question, so she’s probably right.
Here are links to German-language video reports on the premiere.
ZDF’s coverage: (Brad appears around 2:20 into the video. He says he has good friends here and that Berlin has great architecture and he feels comfortable here. He also says he had a lot of fun filming with Tarantino.)
Bild.de’s video of Brad at the premiere. (Brad comes in around 1:10 in and compliments Tarantino and says he enjoyed working with him.)
Raw video of Brad signing autographs, thanks to the Berliner Morgenpost.
RTL’s report. When asked why he’s the top celebrity in the world, Brad replies “I have been working at it for about 20 years.” He also tells the interviewer that “there’s always hope” to make it big. A drunk Til Schweiger makes a joke at the after party that he’s going to have sex with Brad later. That guy is really growing on me. Till says (roughly translated) “We will probably make love and try some new things.” In German, “Wir werden uns wahrscheinlich so ein bisschen lieb haben und irgendwelche neue Praktiken ausprobieren.”

Following a morning photo call, Brad Pitt took to the red carpet for the German premiere of “Inglourious Basterds” in Berlin on Tuesday (July 28).
Joined by co-star Diane Kruger and director Quentin Tarantino, the “Fight Club” stud looked snazzy in a grey suit as he greeted a large crowd which gathered for the evening’s festivities.
Also starring in the movie, which hits theaters in the States on August 21, are Mlanie Laurent, Eli Roth and Christoph Waltz.
Per IMDB, the WWII drama is set in Nazi-occupied France, with “a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as The Basterds chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.”

Over the weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie loaded their kids into a Chevy Suburban and drove to McDonalds. They went through the drive-thru and ordered a bajillion Happy Meals. According to US Weekly, ?Pitt drove the Chevrolet Suburban, while Jolie sat shotgun (the kids stayed in the back). Bodyguards blocked the drive-thru — and anyone getting close to the family’s vehicle — as the Jolie-Pitt clan waited in line for about five minutes before they were handed their bags of food.? I swear, only the Jolie-Pitts could turn a McDonald?s excursion into a massive, international, headline-making jaunt. Every media outlet covered it! It was so weird.
Anyway, after the McDonald?s visit, many thought Angelina would be making the trip to Germany with Brad for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds. After months of rumors about how they?re splitting, or how they?re having all of these problems, I thought that they?d use the Basterds premiere stuff to temporarily end the rumors. Not so much, as it turns out. As far as I can tell, Angelina and the kids are staying home in LA for Brad’s German jaunt. At this point, I?m not even sure they even care what’s written about them.
These are new photos of the Basterds photo call in Germany. Brad, Quentin Tarantino and the cast of Basterds all posed, and all of them look like they had a rough flight, don?t they? I can?t say that I?m loving Brad?s v-neck white t-shirt. Of course, I?m wearing one that?s quite similar right now. Is that what’s in style now? I didn’t know. It just makes Brad look like he forgot to put something over his undershirt, doesn?t it? However, I?m still loving his salt-and-pepper goatee, that thing is pretty sexy.
This might be just nit-picking, but doesn?t Brad look like he has an eye infection or something? I swear, his left eye looks a puffy and swollen, like mine get when I?ve been wearing my contacts too long.
In one final piece of Brad Pitt news, he just bought himself another bike. It?s ?a heavily customised chrome bike? sporting a metal seat? and it was just delivered to his LA home today. See these Daily Mail pics - the bike looks wicked!

Taking their sure-to-be hit film to Germany, Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger were spotted at a photo call for “Inglourious Basterds” in Berlin earlier today (July 28).
The “Fight Club” stud looked handsome in a cream colored v-neck t-shirt with a matching cap while Miss Kruger added some sex appeal in her strapless yellow dress with vintage heels.
During a recent interview with Bild, a German magazine, Pitt revealed that, unlike many of his Hollywood colleagues, he’s not a very spiritual person.
When asked if he believes in God, Brad replied, “No, no, no!” adding, “"No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.”

“No, no, no!” was the answer received from Brad Pitt, a raised Southern Baptist, when questioned about a higher power or if he was spiritual.
He says, “I’m probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.”
Previously, Pitt had told Parade in 2007, “Religion works. I know there’s comfort there, a crash pad. It’s something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be all right in the end.”
Pitt also spilled that he doesn’t mind aging at all, prefers motorbikes over cars, and while money can make things easier, it can also be a burden. He even added that he and Angelina Jolie sleep on a “3 meter wide bed” so that all six of their children can fit.
“But even that isn’t big enough,” he admits. “They all come crawling in the morning. It’s just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation.”
