He just moved up bigly in my book.

I remember Brad Pitt saying the same thing about 15 years ago, that he was just an actor and don’t ask him about this stuff.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Rummyfan. It should be too difficult to talk the ciphers at the Academy to give him a special Oscar for this.

[TigersEye]

By his statements he reveals himself to be a pretty smart actor! :)

[Empireoftheatom48]

And a nice Chianti!

Then I asked Brad, “What’s in the box?”

That was actually super funny for modern SNL

[Revel]

Here is Hopkins and Pitt together in a movie role.

I know that Pitt is a full blown liberal.

But this is a great movie(related to Death Takes a Holiday):

I watched an interview with one of the top Supermodels once. she was asked what it was like to walk by a newsstand and see their picture on a dozen magazine covers. The answere: “It’s not like I discovered a cure for cancer or something. Somebody just thinks my image will sell their product.”

[Fightin Whitey]

Brad is well known to like a little head.

One of my favorite movies as well...

a lot of Freepers loved him in RED. Watch the Rite’. It’s a pro-Christian film.

when Dubya was running for his 2nd term, Brad was at U of Mo. trying to get votes against the GOP. He’s an asshole..

Yeah, “whas in the boxxx (sniffing)..”

It used to be that actors got their face and name in the news by running around with near-naked feminist actresses, but now when someone puts a mic in their faces, they all think they are political analysts. People, shut up and get back to full-time fornicating.

[Bonemaker]

I wish he’d eat the face off some other Hollywood types.

[catnipman]

well, for sure, actors and actresses show exceptional intelligence whenever they refuse to discuss politics and issues like “climate change” that they know nothing about ...

remember the old saying: “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt” ...

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Unless and until the actors and singers are writing their own lines and lyrics of which are also impactful to the positive growth of our unique culture, then I do not want the media to give them an advantage of mass media forum; we need to discriminate as to who we value and embrace as Opinion Leaders! (It puts the lotion on opinion leaders...)

“Actors are pretty stupid.”

He’s the exception who makes the rule!

Bravo!

[imardmd1]

Hanoi Jane, for one.

[Veto!]

My cat follows him on Twitter, where he and his cat have an account. He may not want to discuss politics, but he’s very PRO-CAT.

Gotta love the guy.....and all of his movies. Especially his best line ever in Silence of the Lambs...”I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
