Brad Pitt is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine wherein he talks about his upcoming new movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (natch), the Obama victory and a few personal things on the homefront. I’m kinda bothered that he likes to call Angelina “Angie” … she does not strike me as an “Angie” but more like an “Ange” … but I digress. Here is Brad‘s RS coverphoto and a portion of this interview:

Brad Pitt’s priorities have changed, in more ways than one. “I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things,” the actor tells Rolling Stone’s next issue, out Friday. “But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning getting up.” Pitt, 44, has six children with partner Angelina Jolie. His fantasy drama, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, opens Dec. 25. Making the film made Pitt think about his own mortality. “Angie and I do not fight anymore,” he tells RS. “What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother (actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007), is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. … And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.” He adds, “I don’t want to waste time being angry at someone I love.” And he is defensive about Jolie. When asked about a recent New York Times story critical about her relationship with the press, he responds, “It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way. … She is savvy. But one of the things I’m most proud of is that not only did these guys who follow us and make our lives miserable and get in my kids’ faces, not only did they not get the money, but it went to people who really need it.” People and Hello! magazines paid millions to charity for exclusive photos of the Jolie-Pitts after the twins’ births. “When it came to the birth of our children, a huge bounty was placed on their heads. And people were going to go to incredible lengths to get it.” And so he credits Jolie’s method of handling publicity about the family. It comes as no surprise, then, that his favorite Jolie film is 2005′s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which he co-starred. Why? “Because you know … six kids. Because I fell in love.”

Awww … so cute. Still, I can’t help but ONLY think about how Brad and Ange were cheating together while they made Mr. & Mrs. Smith (which I don’t find romantic at all) but … that is SO water under the bridge. After the jump, check out one more photo from Brad‘s Rolling Stone magazine spread and find out what he has to say about being in Grant Park in Chicago, IL on Election Night …

Where were you on election night?
Chicago. I went down to Grant Park, because I was doing Oprah the next day. I walked home from the park to the hotel, which was a half-hour walk. And I could walk freely — no one was interested in me at that point. People were weeping and hugging. The sense of elation in the streets — it was great. That was such a turnaround for us. We captured the original definition of America again.

I’m sorry … I love me some Barack Obama but I think I would’ve been a bit interested if I ran into Brad Pitt roaming the streets of Chicago. In any event, this interview with RS sounds kinda sorta interesting. I might have to pick it up when it hits newsstands on Friday.
