Brad Pitt's sexy mug graces the August issue of WIRED magazine, and even though he's rockin' a beard and a little bit of grey hair, we still think he's one of the hottest movie stars on the planet!
So why did the Inglourious Basterds actor sit down with WIRED? A rep for the publication tells us that Brad approached them about collaborating on an upcoming project in support of his new film with Quentin Tarantino. Apparently Brad liked the mag's May Mystery issue with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams so much, he wanted to do something similar. "He wanted to break away from the traditional celebrity magazine story," the rep for the mag said. We love it already!
Famed Los Angeles portrait photographer Dan Winters shot the cover, and in the interview Brad gives advice on proper work etiquette and some cyber related issues - but get this - the whole interview was done in character - a hybrid that was a cross between a "basterd" and Brad, says WIRED senior editor Nancy Miller. A rep for the mag added, "Brad came alone to the shoot at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood and was a dream to work with. He was game to do any and all ideas WIRED had for him and also had a lot of ideas his own, so it was a true collaboration, not to mention a lot of fun."
So what pearls of wisdom did Brad's character have to share with the mag?
Regarding online dating:
- "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."
Is it okay to talk on the phone while using the bathroom?
- "No, you can't talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?"
On Twitter:
- "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."
The issue hits newsstands on July 21st.
Hotness!
