Come on, Brad, get a reality check and drop the modest act. "Falling apart" is something you'll be able to say about yourself only when you're about 80 and have stopped having sex with Angelina. But if Mr. Pitt feels that he has to talk about himself in those terms, that certainly means something's up.
And while the reason for his severe downplay of the natural abilities he was endowed with may be just a whim, a try for some well-deserved realism or simply a long-harbored frustration, he should know better than to make deprecating remarks about himself. Particularly since the rest of his interview in the October issue of the Details magazine is much less falsely modest and much more centered on the few issues in his life he does talk about: his kids, himself, his family, his kids again and the paparazzi.
One of the first things he confesses is that he was not in the least depressed or scared when he turned 40. "I liked it, man" he claims. "Maybe I had a crisis earlier or something. Maybe I had it in my thirties. One thing sucks, your face kind of goes. Your body's not quite working the same. But you earned it. You earned that, things falling apart".
Well, by the time I finished reading that I was almost in tears. Poor, poor Brad and his Photoshopped photos, it must be so sad having to see yourself in a magazine looking slightly better than you do in reality. I always wondered how celebrities put up with it - I'm sure it's just unbelievably stressful. When it comes to his kids, however, Brad is totally relaxed.
"Well", he says, I had one kid, then two kids, then three kids. Two-and-a-half years or so. Listen, I've always embraced extremes, so it doesn't feel odd to me. There's a couple weeks of finding your balance, and then it's in stone". Hmm. When you hear it put quite like that, it almost sounds easy and fun. The interesting part is that when asked about whether him and Ange are considering having more kids, his reply was "we're not done". Which seems to confirm the rumors that the world's most famous clan will get a new member, even if maybe not as soon as it was speculated.
"The only thing that frightens me today" Brad says, "is something happening to my kids, or something happening to Angie, or something happening to Angie and I. That happens when they [the paparazzi] follow you, right. It is the defining annoyance of my life". Well, at least he's honest about that - it's better to admit it and let go of some of your frustration rather than pull a Jude Law and hit them. But it looks like Brad also has his limits. "When [photographers] cross the line, you know - if it happened to one of your kids, it's hard not to want to take them down".
