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."
