Brad Pitt Talks Twitter, Texting & Online Dating

Brad Pitt Talks Twitter, Texting & Online Dating
Copyright 2009 / Wired Magazine
Brad Pitt offers some tongue-and-cheek cell phone and online etiquette tips when it comes to twitter, online dating and text messaging.

Wired magazine asked Pitt what he thought of tweeting a picture of his wife's butt like Ashton Kutcher did of Demi Moore. He responds "Don't take a picture of your wife's butt. That's silly. Take pictures of other people's wives' butts."

As for online dating, the 'Inglourious Basterds' actor thinks that lying about how much money you make on your profile is accepted and encouraged. "Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don't, they'll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie."

Wired also asked Pitt in their "Ask a Basterd" article: Can I talk on the phone while taking a whiz? He answers, "No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers."

  • Brad is a nice guy but he doesnt really know what he wants whether he will definitely commit to angie or maybe go back to Jennifer. What he is doing right now exposing himself to other personal information and let it all out in the tabloids regarding not believing God and he's fine if one of his kids will choose to be gay. Living separetely with angie buying a bachelor pad to lure jennifer to his arms and maybe have a child with her is really not a good thing. No matter how brad will protray to be a good father is not going to be like that we are living in a new generation that is total chaos our principals, choses of things we do and say reflects to us at the end what kind of a true person we are. Brad is all in his head. I admire him but I am starting to doubt that. All his words just show what he truly want in his life and I dont really want to say anything more because anything I say happens I have always revealed things and commented based on their own revealing of life and then it happens. I am gifted for this kind of blessing and it scared me alot. So please brad I see alot of not good things with you and I hope you will changed this. Just dont destroy your good family and life now that you WORKED SO HARD TO COMPLETE WHAT ELSE CAN A PERSON ASKED YOU HAVE IT ALL. TRUE ANGIE IS A STRONG WILLED PERSON, YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN WITH HER FOR FOUR YEARS YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED BEFORE MAKING A BIG FAMILY. CHILDREN ARE AT STAKE HERE GIVING MATERIAL THINGS AND LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH BUT THE TRUE PRINCIPLE THAT OUR PREVIOUS GRANDPARENTS AND PARENTS CARRIED IN OLD DAYS ARE THE MOST BENEFIT WAY FOR CHILDREN NOW. ANGIE IS MORE A GOOD EXAMPLE. I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUT YOU SEEM TO BE CONFUSE. PLEASE I AM NOT BEING HARSH AND MIND YOU I AM JUST GIVING YOU A GOOD ADVISE AS A FRIEND OR MAYBE A CONCERN CITIZEN. GOD BLESS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY AND STOP LOOKING ANYMORE OR EVEN THINKING OF FOOLING AROUND. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU JUST SAID WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND YOU ARE AGAIN BOUND TO YOUR OWN BAD DECISIONS. STICK TO ANGIE AND YOUR SIX CHILDREN AND YOU WILL BE JUST FINE WITH ANGIE YOU ARE TRULY MEANT FOR EACH OTHER YOU THINK GOD DOES NOT HAVE A PURPOSE WHY YOU ARE TOGETHER NOW.

  • Brad I hope that you dont exposed yourself too much honestly angelina is one of the best person in hollywood who is true and genuine. Yes she has FLAWS too but she did her best to change 90 degrees without any hesitation. Maddox changed her life and it was really amazing and encouraging for us women. Now you have been saying things that you love angie and that she is your soulmate so how come you are still calling and trying to lure Jennifer to your new pad. I hope you change your point of view in this matter. You are 45 80 years old you will still be laive so which means half of your life should be spent ONLY to your SOULMATE and your children now. I dont understand we admire you truly with your good values and as a humanitarian but lately you have been screwing up your actions towards angie giving wrong interpretation. I hope you dont destroy your good life now with your children and your wife angie. No wonder angie is not willing to get married yet as she can not see the true meaning of what you told her. You alone who only knows what you truly like and your intensions. Jennifer is no good for you only PHYSICAL ATTRACTION and why can you just stick to what you have created and worked hard on having a biological child with angie. I hope that you dont hurt her truly because your life will be in hell if you do. Angie is a strong good will genuine person she is always blessed. Person like angie is truly a dependet person, strong willed person and someone who is focused and good inside and out. Please dont get mad this is my word of advice anything I say happens and it does happens I can not tell you all but it is true. God Bless and take care of your family and yourself. NO OFFENSE okay just a concern citizen the WORLD IS GOING CRAZY WRONG DECISION, WRONG PRINCIPLES OH BOY

    • There is not one once of fake on that handsome mature face. Unless you are man enough too raise children, that are born of your genes or someone else's, treat them as your on and provide for them. Just do not say anything, it shoes your ignorance!!!!!!!
