Brad Pitt Tells “Details” Magazine ‘I Don’t Suck at Being a Dad’
Published at
ABC/Rick Rowell(NEW YORK) — Brad Pitt is an A-list actor and a family man, and he discusses how he manages to balance the two in the latest issue of Details magazine, declaring he doesn’t “suck at being a dad.”
Much of the 50-year-old actor’s time is spent being dad to his and wife Angelina Jolie’s six children, and he thinks he’s pretty good at it.
“I’ve discovered I don’t suck at being a dad,” he tells the magazine.
Another thing Pitt has learned to deal with is living in the public eye. He notes, “My soul was stolen by the camera so long ago, I don’t have to think about it anymore.”
“One definition of freedom is the ability to follow your bliss without being watched, recorded, scrutinized,” Pitt added.
The actor has been riding motorcycles since he was a kid and tells the magazine he tries to find time to do it as often as he can. “I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I travel to, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to the belly of India.”
“I haven’t even come close to fulfilling my list — yet,” he admits. “But, in the traffic of L.A. with a helmet on, I’m just another a**hole on the road.”
Even when he’s not riding, Pitt loves being outdoors.
“The woods, rivers, bluffs, lakes and caves have all left an indelible mark on me,” he reveals. “And I’m quite reverential when it comes to a tree. On my forearm, I had tattooed 94.9m — the height of the largest sequoia.”
Pitt will next be seen in the World War II drama Fury, opening Friday.
The latest edition of Details magazine hits newsstands Oct. 28.
