Brad Pitt’s been a star for a while now – he knows that revealing personal stories open movies, so has he got a doozy for you!
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button opens in a fortnight, and Brad Pitt knows that he’s got to dig as deep as he can to make his highbrow arthouse movie that’s based on an 86-year-old short story seen by as many people as possible. So here’s what he’s come up with.
You know?Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt’s longterm partner and the mother of his children both biological and adopted? Brad Pitt says he likes her. We know.
Promoting a movie is a tricky balancing act. Use it an excuse to constantly bleat about how difficult your jetset millionaire life is and you’ll only succeed in making people want to push you off buildings, as Jennifer Aniston still hasn’t worked out.
But do too little promotion and everyone will think you hate the movie you’ve just made. So what’s the alternative? Well, you could always do what Brad Pitt does – which involves doing about a billion interviews and being so dull in every single one of them that people feel lucky just to escape with their lives afterwards.
So far, Brad Pitt’s promotional tactic for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button seems to involve stating the obvious to anyone who’ll listen. One minute Brad will point out that his children all have stupid names, and next that he’s not especially keen on paparazzi.
But before Brad drops the two giant bombshells that will form the dramatic climax of his campaign – announcing the results of his bear defecation location survey and revealing the long-kept secret of the Pope’s religion – first he’s got to tell everyone what he thinks of Angelina Jolie.
And get this – Brad Pitt is actually quite fond of the beautiful humanitarian mother of his three children who he’s constantly inseparable with. We can’t say we saw that one coming. Brad Pitt told Rolling Stone:
“Angie and I do not fight anymore. What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother, is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. Or friends, people I love and respect. And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.”
Whether Brad Pitt meant that, or whether Angelina Jolie had him at knifepoint at the time, doesn’t really matter. Nor does the fact that Brad Pitt keeps filling his interviews by droning on about stuff we already know anyway.
The important thing here is that Jennifer Aniston’s on the cover of GQ without any clothes on this month, and if Brad Pitt didn’t go to the nearest magazine and immediately tell everyone how much he loved Angelina Jolie then his testicles would be torn off and used as earrings at the first opportunity. We assume.
