Brad Pitt has spoken about his choice for next President of the United States – His good pal George Clooney!
Speaking to Parade magazine, the Ocean’s Eleven actor encouraged his fellow co-star to run for political office, and if George fails then Ben Affleck should try out for President instead.
He says: "I never thought about it. I have no desire at this point. Maybe I serve better by not going through that door.
"George should do it! He'd be quite good. I think Ben Affleck should run."
We think Ben Affleck would be better suited. He needs a career change because acting isn’t really working out for him is it.
He was a poor student. George did excel in athletics; baseball in particular. He was invited to try out for the Cincinnati Reds in 1977, but was not offered a contract. He briefly attended Northern Kentucky University from 1979-1981, but did not graduate, earning no more than freshman-level credits.[3] He also very briefly attended the University of Cincinnati, but again did not graduate.
Yeah, he has what it takes to run a country. For Pitt to even suggest this makes me think Hollywood's collective IQ is around 100.
Beauty fades, stupid is forever.
The man’s ego know no bounds.
If he runs this will really put Hillary in a tizzy. ROTFLOL
Brad Pitt needs to quit hanging around the liberal likes of George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and other lost souls. Being from Oklahoma & Missouri and having Christian roots, Brad should know better than this - he’s been in California too long.
I believe he is a prodigal at this time and will eventually return to Christ.
Mayble the whole fetid lot you you would serve better by concentrating on entertaining us and keeping your moronic mouths shut ...
"Jesse don't want to run nuthin' but his mouth"
Most of them probably think the way to spell farm is E-I-E-I-O.
I agree.......... run George run. PLEASE, and get all your hollywood elitists to support you.
I beg you George, please run.
On his increasing doubt in religion as he got older: “I had crises of faith. I thought you had to experience things if you want to know right from wrong. I’d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I’d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor. Then I’d be told, ‘That’s the Devil’s music! Don’t partake in that!’ I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience.”On having scuttled his fundamentalist beliefs by the time he entered college: “When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self,” he says. “I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”
On his faith in his family: “What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in my family. I still have faith in that.”
Another snip it:
In high school, "I had crises of faith," Pitt, 43, tells Parade."I'd go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I'd go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor," he tells the magazine in its new issue. "Then I'd be told, 'That's the Devil's music! Don't partake in that!' I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience."
Pitt, who took up journalism at the University of Missouri at Columbia, says when he started questioning religion, "It wasn't a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self. I had faith that I'm capable enough to handle any situation."
The young Pitt also had a little help from a college girlfriend.
"She was a Methodist preacher's kid. She wasn't that into me, truthfully, although we were together for a semester," Pitt says. "She helped me more than anyone else as far as setting off in my own direction. She was a hardcore realist. She called me on so much bull---- about any romantic ideas that I had grown up with about life."
Faith in Family
Still, Pitt, who was raised a conservative Southern Baptist, is not anti-faith today. "Religion works. I know there's comfort there, a crash pad. It's something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be all right in the end," he says.
For him, faith is a personal code of values. "What's important to me is that I've defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them," he says. "One of those is my belief in family. I still have faith in that."
Fred Thompson must really be eating them up.
What a hoot. Thats all we need is another egomaniac that doesnt like the opposite sex.
Ocean’s Eleven is a 1960 heist film, Clooney was born in 1961, so IT could have been a fetus during the film release.
I think it is a great idea, let the world see and know all their business, and also see how ignorant they really are.
He can't even ride a motorcycle and he wants to be president?
Along the same lines, giving women the ability to have political opinions was a mistake too.
Fans no longer have to wonder as to how Pitt keeps his cash flow going between movies.
IMPOSSIBLE——Clooney has never been on LAW AND ORDER.
What’s he going to run as, Batman?
I swear I am going to have a brain aneurysm from laughing.....
