Brad Pitt: We Won't Marry Until Gays Can
New York, NY -- Actor Brad Pitt says in an interview
released Friday that he will not marry Angelina Jolie until restrictions
on gay marriage are lifted so that all Americans can marry.
The couple, who met in the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, have joint
guardianship of adopted children, four-year-old Maddox and 18-month-old
Zahara.
Jolie
herself has said she's in no hurry to wed again. She's been married to
actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.
"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the
country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor
told Esquire magazine for its October issue.
Last year Academy Award Winner Charlize Theron told reporters she would
not marry boyfriend Stuart Townsend until gay and lesbian marriage was
legalized.
The Esquire article focuses on what Pitt says are "fifteen things I
think everyone should know," and revolves around the issues of
parenthood, life in the public eye and adopting Angelina’s kids Maddox
and Zahara.
"They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs," says
Pitt. "That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So:
Anyone considering [adoption], that's my vote."
