Brad Pitt Has Settled Down
Superstar Brad Pitt is currently starring in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a movie about a man who ages backwards. Yet Brad is aging forward, like the rest of us, and says he's enjoying the ride.
'Once you hit 40, you start reexamining the math of it all,' says the
actor, who turned 45 on Dec. 18. So far, he indicates, the pluses and
minuses are adding up just fine. 'I'll trade wisdom for youth any day,'
Pitt says."
At the heart of Benjamin Button is a story about love that transcends age. Brad reflects on the nature of love and family in his own life.
'It's a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that's the
risk you take,' Pitt responds. 'And the greater the love, the greater
the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I'm with, and the
children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time
together is extraordinary.'"

Brad says his life has changed a lot since having a family. (Any of us with children could have told him that ;)
'I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably
got away with more than I should,' he says. 'And it kind of ran its
course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end.' Fatherhood, he notes, is 'the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with
Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction.'"
