Brad Pitt’s had it up to here with fame. And he’s happy to talk about it.
Angelina Jolie’s other half opened up about his troubles during a roundtable discussion alongside other stars with Newsweek.
“This publicity machine is out of control. It’s everything we didn’t sign up for,” he says on the press tours that come with releasing a film.
“There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares.”
Although Pitt shot and published intimate photos of Jolie and their six children for W magazine – and has sold first photos of several of his children to magazines – the “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” actor says he’s “never made peace” with the fame game.
“Somehow you’re not supporting your film if you don’t get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this.”
Frank Navarre, founder of photography agency X-17, recently told the Daily News that, to Pitt, fame “is not a game – it’s war.”
“Everything he does is calculated … Brad Pitt is somebody who is obsessed with it.”
But the 45-year-old Oscar nominee says he’s never “Googled” himself, adding, “I don’t really know how to operate a computer.”
Pitt, who has “nothing to prove anymore,” also says he’s glad he’s not getting his start as an actor these days. “I feel for the people who are just getting into the business. It sets the wrong focus.”
