Brad Pitt – Brad Pitt’s Saturday Night Fever Love
The ‘Moneyball’ actor – who is renowned for serious roles in movies including ‘The Tree of Life’ and ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ – was inspired by the 1977 music-based romance movie starring John Travolta because it taught him about life outside of his home-state of Oklahoma.
He said: “Strangely enough, I loved ‘Saturday Night Fever’. I loved it. But it wasn’t, you know, the bad suits and the dancing, although I can do the hustle. It was the idea of people, well, I didn’t know people could live like that. This idea of a different culture.
“I’d seen only my corner of the world which was Oklahoma and Missouri, so it’s the idea that there are complete other ways to attack life out there.“
Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill put ‘Monyball’ into play
Like old buddies reuniting for a happy hour at the corner bar, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill enter the room already gabbing and laughing.
He’s got his back: Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill star in Moneyball. It’s the true-life story of Billy Beane, the man who revolutionized the way professional baseball players are evaluated.

What could the model-handsome middle-aged half of the celebrity beast known as Brangelina be discussing so intently with the Gen-Y whiz kid who was Russell Brand’s reluctant drug mule in Get Him to the Greek?
Maybe how their new film, Moneyball, which opens today, puts a whole new backroom-negotiating spin on the baseball genre by doing with spreadsheets what sexy Bull Durham did with bedsheets?

Sports Illustrated
Brad Pitt, the star of the upcoming movie Moneyball, doffs an Oakland A’s hat and graces the cover of this week’s September 26, 2011, issue of Sports Illustrated, on newsstands Wednesday. Pitt joins an exclusive group of non-athletes and non-coaches to be so honored — a list that includes Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, Stephen Colbert, Bob Hope, Ed Sullivan, Steve McQueen and Arnold Schwarzenegger in addition to former presidents John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan (appearances on the 11/26/84 and 2/16/87 covers) and Bill Clinton.
Commenting on his photo shoot with SI photographer Simon Bruty, Pitt says: “I was just happy to do Sports Illustrated. To do something other than the fashion-y things, for something I respect, is much more fun.”

Parade
Brad Pitt is a satisfied man. Or at least that’s what he tells Sunday’s Parade magazine in promotion of his latest film, “Moneyball.” In a very candid interview, Brad shares why he wasn’t happy in his marriage with Jennifer Aniston and how much he loves Angie. Plus, he addresses those pesky wedding rumors.
On why he’s happy now:
“I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man. I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. … That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.”
“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. I think that my marriage [to actress Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
On his decision to start a family with Angelina Jolie
One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”“How many stories have you read that aren’t true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don’t split up, there’s a whole new round that we’ve made up and we’re back together again! We’ll get married when everyone can. We’re not splitting up. And we don’t have a seventh child yet.”

Entertainment Weekly
Brad Pitt gives a rare, three-and-a-half hour interview in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, speaking from London where he’s promoting Moneyball and shooting the zombie epic World War Z. He talks about career highs, like meeting Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “We had some good workshops beforehand. Had some good laughs and ideas. That was just a great collaboration that turned into a greater collaboration.” He admits the couple may want to rethink their policy of never working at the same time — it helps with child rearing, but also means they can’t make movies together. “We should be doing them together,” Pitt says, in the first in a series called The EW Interview, dedicated to icons reflecting on their careers. “That’s what we should be doing. We should be doing everything together, and then we could work less. We could have more time off.”
The conversation covers many low moments as well, and Pitt is ruthlessly honest about his own failures. Told he looks miserable in 1994’s Interview with The Vampire, he says: “I am miserable. Six months in the f—ing dark. Contact lenses, makeup, I’m playing the bitch role…” Pitt says he was depressed by the colorless role and the dreary London shoot: “One day, it broke me… I called David Geffen, who was a producer… I said, ‘David, I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it. How much will it take to get me out?’ And he goes, very calmly, ‘Forty million dollars.’”
