Brad Pitt in Parade Magazine, Talks Ex-Wife Jennifer Aniston

It's interesting how celebrities become an open book every time they have a movie to promote.

In the new issue of Parade magazine, Brad Pitt gets candid about his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, telling he felt like he was "trying to pretend" his marriage to Aniston "was something that it wasn't."

Ouch!

"I spent the '90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony," says the actor, who is currently promoting his new movie Moneball. "I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic."

"It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself," explains Pitt.

He adds, "I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't."

He said he's much more happy with Angelina and their six children.

"I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. . That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all. One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom," he tells Parade. "She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her."

As for marrying Angie, he said, "We'll get married when everyone can. We're not splitting up. And we don't have a seventh child yet."
