Brad Pitt does not sing the praises of ex-wife Jennifer
Aniston in a new magazine interview. In fact, he describes
their former marriage as kind of a drag.
The 47-year-old Pitt said in a profile by Parade magazine
posted on the publication's website on Thursday that he is
now a "satisfied man" in his relationship with Angelina
Jolie.
The "Moneyball" star compares his new life with Jolie, with
whom he is raising 6 kids, favorably to the roughly five
years he spent married to Aniston.
"It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to
find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living
an interesting life myself," Pitt told Parade.
"I think that my marriage (to Aniston) had something to do
with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it
wasn't," he added.
Pitt and "Friends" star Aniston were married in 2000, and he
has largely avoided talking about his ex-wife since their
2005 divorce.
In the magazine interview, Pitt also said he spent the 1990s
"trying to hide out" from celebrity. "I started to get sick
of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out,"
he said in the interview.
Although Pitt and Oscar winner Jolie have been together for
over five years, the actor has said they will not marry until
gay marriage is widely legalized. He is sticking to that.
"We'll get married when everyone can," Pitt told Parade.
The Parade interview with Pitt, who stars in the upcoming
baseball drama "Moneyball," is being published in this
Sunday's edition of the magazine.
