Don't Hold Breath for Brangelina Nuptials
Brad Pitt may have just given lawmakers more incentive
to legalize gay marriage than both GLAAD and Rosie O'Donnell combined.
The Mr. and Mrs. Smith star told Esquire he plans to wed Angelina Jolie only when the institution has been democratized.
If that promise doesn't mobilize the American vote, nothing will.
"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the cover boy told the magazine in its October
issue, according to the Associated Press.
The 42-year-old papa of three revealed his caveat for a vow swap in a list for the magazine, divulging "15 things I think everyone should know."
Pitt also waxed on about the state of his family with Jolie, something he said he "cannot imagine life" without.
Of adopted children Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 1, Pitt told the magazine "they're as much of my blood as any natural-born, and I'm theirs. That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering [adoption], that's my vote."
Pitt also discussed his parenting style with regards to Maddox, Zahara and exalted baby Shiloh.
"I try not to stifle them in any way," he said. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."
Still, Pitt knows when to leave the tots to themselves and when to enforce--er, encourage--the quality bonding.
"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them. I really like that last minute before they fade off," he said, adding what might be the first semblance of parental advice offered from a men's magazine.
"Always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, 'You have three more minutes.' "
As for Jolie, Pitt reinforced the competitive nature of the camera-ready couple's relationship in discussing his new favorite (Jolie-influenced) pastime, flying.
"Everything can go wrong very fast," he said of manning the cockpit. "It's humbling."
Pitt also boasted that he has earned his American pilot's certification, though his qualifications have been bested by his baby mama, who's earned both the American and the tougher British certifications.
"She gives me total s--t for that," he said.
Pitt next appears on the big screen in Alejandro González Iñárritu's time-traveling drama, Babel, set to debut this week at the Toronto International Film Festival and then in general release Oct. 27. He's also produced a documentary on the so-called Lost Boys of Sudan, titled God Grew Tired of Us, due out in November.
The Esquire issue hits newsstands Sept. 19.
