Brad Pitt On Sports Illustrated Cover
Brad Pitt flaunts his good looks on cover of September 26 issue of Sports Illustrated. 47-year-old American actor and Moneyball star Brad Pitt is looking handsome wearing an Oakland A’s cap portraying character of Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane, who Pitt portrays in the movie ‘Moneyball.’
Brad is one of the non-athletes to cover Sports Illustrated just like Mark Wahlberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Christian Bale, Stephen Colbert, Bob Hope, Ed Sullivan, Steve McQueen, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
A bearded Brad Pitt promotes his forthcoming film, Moneyball and talks about many things in this issue.
Here are some excerpts from interview:
On his photo shoot with SI photographer Simon Bruty: “I was just happy to do Sports Illustrated. To do something other than the fashion-y things, for something I respect, is much more fun.”
On what initially drew him to the Moneyball story: “I’m a sucker for the underdog story.”
On really not knowing much about baseball: “It’s shameful how little I know about baseball…. I’m amazed they let me do this movie…. Baseball and I didn’t get along that well. I wrestled one year [in high school]. I dove one year. Everything but baseball.”
On the end goal of the film: “What we were trying to do is tell an unconventional story in the Trojan horse of a conventional baseball movie.”
