A STORY posted on Parade magazine's website on Thursday in which Brad Pitt talks about his life with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston put the actor in damage control mode, saying his words had been misinterpreted.
The 47-year-old Pitt said in a profile by Parade magazine posted on its website that he is now a "satisfied man" in his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
The star compares his new life with Jolie, with whom he is raising 6 children, favorably to the roughly five years he spent married to Aniston.
"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," Pitt told Parade.
"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 added.
Those quotes were interpreted by many media outlets as meaning Pitt thought Aniston was uninteresting. But the A-list actor sought to clarify himself in a statement issued later by his talent agency.
"It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself - and that, I am responsible for," Pitt said in the statement.
Pitt and "Friends" star Aniston married in 2000, and he has largely avoided talking about her since their 2005 divorce.
Although Pitt and Oscar winner Jolie have been together for more than five years, he has said they will not marry until gay marriage is widely legalized.
"We'll get married when everyone can," Pitt told Parade.
