Excellent Pitt Story on USA Today

Brad Pitt in Babel

Pitt in Babel on USA Today

He has become an advocate for adoption. “Now that I have two adopted kids, I cannot imagine life without them,” he said in Esquire. “They’re as much of my blood as any natural born, and I’m theirs.”

Because he can’t go out in public without starting a riot, Pitt has found more solitary ways to let off steam. He rides dirtbikes and motorcycles and flies a plane. He reads books about architecture, including Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough, listens to Jack White’s new band, The Raconteurs, and watches Run’s House on MTV.

But that doesn’t mean the scrutiny doesn’t get to him. “The only other artist I’ve been around that had the same affect with the press was Presley, and Elvis, unlike Brad, hid from the press,” Weintraub says. “Brad at least tries to lead as much of a normal life as he can. But he knows that whatever he does is a headline. His best way to deal with it is to put a motorcycle helmet on, so they can’t see his face. Now he’s a pilot, so he can get up in the air and get away from it.”

This is probably one of the most concise writeups on today’s Pitt that I’ve seen. It details his family life, his upcoming movies, etc. A must read for die-hard Pitt fans.

    By the way PerezHilton.com has a side by side photo of Brad as a baby and Shiloh’s new picture. So much like separated at birth.
