What's up with Brad Pitt's gnarly-looking facial fuzz?
"It's boredom. No other reason than that," the actor, 46, tells Britain's Sun.

On Monday, a solo Pitt, 46, was in London to promote the action-thriller Kick-Ass (out Apr. 14), which he helped produce for director Matthew Vaughn (husband of pregnant supermodel Claudia Schiffer).
He has since returned to Venice, where his self-described "soul mate" Angelina Jolie is shooting The Tourist with Johnny Depp.

Asked how his time has been there, he told UsMagazine.com: "Lovely!"
On Tuesday, Pitt and Jolie, 34, showed off a rare glimpse of their 20-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox while relaxing on the private balcony of the 15th century palazzo they're renting.
Tell Us What You Think
73Oh sh*t yeah, agree with you samantha.
Good for Brad. And may his and Angelina's continued humanitarian efforts continue to grow and inspire others to give back.
That beard is SO GROSS and NASTY! YUCK.
he is so yesterday!Gone...Help her raise the kid's and you will not be bored....I agree with Loverboy.....Johnnie Depp is so private!He protect's his family.......
Johnnie Depp and Vanessa have more class and integrity in their little fingers than B&A will ever hope to have. B&A are horrible to be putting their kids in the public eye like this...you rarely see Johnny doing this with his kids...Johnny does not need to use his kids for publicity...he relies on his talent. People like B&A, and Kate and Jon Gosselin, the Duggers and Octomom are horrible the way they exploit their children...shame, shame, shame on them.
Maybe this is some type of revenge thing if he looks really gross AJ won't want him and he could be goneeeeeee! Or he is just depressed. Either way he has aged so much in five years.
Brad Pitt is an ugly, overrated, piece of s h i t. Always has been, always will be!
yeah! Im an Aniston Fan!! a really BIG ONE!! what? what?
HAHAHA! I love it 'Yeah...I said it!' she has totally dragged him down to her level! and poor guy is getting some mental anguish to boot! that 'woman' is crazy! she is the first celebrity I've seen to use kids as 'pawns'! wait, no, I've seen 'Mommie Dearest' and so has that creepy Cruella De Vil look a like Angelina Hoe-Lie Jolie! HAH so right on!! poor guy is trapped and he knows it, I bet he wishes he would have listened to that voice in his head 5 years ago...DONT DO IT! HAHAHA well, he made his bed, now he has to sleep in it and play goody goody and happy just as long as he doesnt upset that crazy lady.
Take Johnny Depp. Same age, 46, same profession, both are fathers, (both have nannies to looks after the children), both are rich. Only difference is Brad has Angelina as partner and Depp has Vanessa Paradis.. Depp is present 'sexiest man alive' and looks his best, happy and fresh. Brad !! Puffy eyes, wrinkled, depressed, tired. Where is the Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Brad, JEN'S HUSBAND ?
Brad Pitt's problem, if you can call it a problem, is that he has everything. He should do more humanitarian work! It will cure his boredom and at the same time remind him what a privileged life he leads, and how grateful he should be!
Samantha~ It's actually the other way around. SHE sucked the like out of him, just like she does everything else. HE used to be full of life, now he drinks, grows his beard, always looks like a hobbo and hides behind dark glasses. He isn't even the shadow of what he used to be. And before the angeloonies start...this has NOTHING to do with Aniston. This whole misery thing is between those two. The funny thing is that the angeloonies kept saying he was growning his beard for a "movie role" when in fact he's just doing it because he's miserably bored.
He always wears the same thing and the same looking shoes!! He is starting to look like Howard Hughes-totally. Why doesnt' he even show his hair? strange strange strange man. Maybe they are happy who really knows?
He was being sarcastic people!! Of course that's not what he meant, saggitarians are very sarcastic people, I myself am one, and we say things to fack with peoples minds
Brad is sucking the life out of Angie! Before hooking up with this old, shrivled up, has-been, she was a vibrant, outgoing, healthy looking woman. Now she looks much older than her years, owing to her having to maanage the family, without Pothead Pitts assistance. What an onerous task that would be. Kick his ugly a s s to the curb Angie, you can do better!
He is bored of his whole life situations, which leads him to depression and alcoholism. This shows in his present appearance.
Hello, Mr. Brit. Sorry to "break it to you" (American phrase), but "tongue in cheek" is well-known and well-used in the colonies as well as the UK (gasp - who would have known???). Last time I checked, Elizabeth (and Charles) were still alive, therefore, no one died and made you King. Whether Brad Pitt's comment was sarcastic or not is immaterial. It's HIS face and he can choose to adorn it any way he likes. Likewise, WE, the movie-going public (also the ones who have made it POSSIBLE for him to be able to afford six children and homes around the world) can be a bit sarcastic ourselves and say that his choice to imitate Willie Nelson with all that ugly, gray facial hair leaves a LOT to be desired. Many men are "busy", yet find the time to be well-groomed. Brad chooses not to be (whether his tongue is in his cheek or not), and WE choose to find it unappealing. No negativity (or sarcasm) intended. Just personal opinion.
Brad is bored, Angelina knew this, that is why she told in the interview ' fidelity is not important ' in their relationship. If she don't allow, she will loose him.
There is no way anyone could be bored with that brood so let me tell you the real reason. LAZINESS! Plain and simple. Or if you must, tiredness from taking care of all of them little ones.
Hello you cynics. This is a 'tongue in cheek' comment as we British would say. He means he is busy- get the joke. You guys are so hell-bent on posting negative comments about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie you can't interpret a sarcastic comment.
