Brad Pitt has been opening up to the press while promoting his new film, Inglourious Basterds, out this Friday. He’s had some candid talk about his family, religion, and smoking pot. Pitt told both Parade and Bill Maher that he’d smoked up in the past but had given it up because “I’m a dad now. You want to be alert and my eyes used to glaze over when I did that.” It turns out that Pitt probably still enjoys the herb when he can. Director Quentin Tarantino told Howard Stern on his show yesterday that Brad gave him some hash in the summer of 2008 when he visited him in France. At first he didn’t say that Brad smoked it with him, just that Brad shaved some off and gave it to him before Quentin had to leave to go back to his hotel. Later in the interview Quentin admitted smoking the hash with Brad when the kids were asleep in the middle of the night. The time frame given was when Angelina was in the hospital waiting for the twins to be born, so that would have been the summer of 2008.
Howard asked if Angelina had come home while he was visiting with Brad. He said that she was in the hospital at the time having twins. Howard asked if they have help there at their house because Brad and Angelina claim they don’t. Quentin said they do have friends that help them out.
Quentin said he was at Brad and Agelina’s until about 3 in the morning. Howard asked if he ever worried that he was annoying them by staying so late. Quentin said that he had flown all the way to France to visit them so he didn’t think that would come up.
Quentin said that things eventually ended and he went to his hotel. He said that Brad had this big brick of hash and he was going to give him some for the night. He said that Brad whipped out a knife and cut up a big sliver for him and the stuff was pretty good. He said that he asked for a pipe to go with it and Brad handed him a Coke can to use instead. Quentin said that would make for a great scene in a movie and he may have to use that…
Howard was going to end the interview but Artie was wondering what kind of hash Brad Pitt could have had that was so good. Quentin said that he gets the really good stuff. He was also saying that the kids were asleep when they were smoking that stuff so it was okay. They ended the interview a short time later and went to break…
[After Quentin leaves, they talk about it on air]
Jon said that Quentin talked about hanging out with Brad Pitt. He had Teddy play a clip of that moment from the interview. That’s where he talked about the big brick of hash that Brad had that he cut off a sliver of for him.Gary asked Jon how he thinks Brad is going to feel when he hears that he was talking about the hash thing on the show. Jon said he thinks that Brad will be fine with it. Benjy said that he read that since Angelina gave birth to his kids, he’s stopped. He didn’t stop for the adopted kids but he did for the biological kids.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that he was wondering if Brad is going to get pissed about that whole thing. Gary said they always heard rumors that Brad and Angelina were pot heads but they were just rumors. The caller told Gary that he got a Baba Booey license plate and wondered if Gary wanted one. The caller said he tried to get Baba Booy and Baba BQQY since it looks similar to that on the plate. Gary said that he has plates from all over the country with the Baba Booey thing on them.

I’d have to hear the interview to know if Quentin really admits smoking with Brad or if he’s just saying he gave him some hash he had. Either way, it sounds like Brad is still indulging occasionally. Many people think that occasional use is not a big deal, and I don’t believe it will be news to Angelina or anything. She was allegedly annoyed at Brad for his cigarette smoking habit, however, and I bet if he’s still smoking pot and/or hash she wants him to keep it to a minimum. I would guess that he saves it for special occasions, like Quentin’s visit. He’s pretty honest to the public about his drug use, and marijuana is often considered a benign drug that many people believe should be legalized and taxed. The tabloids are going to have a field day with this one. At least it’s Tuesday already so I doubt they’ll get on it until next week’s editions.
This is a screencap of Pitt in 1993’s True Romance. I took the photos below at the Berlin Basterds premiere on 7/28/09.
It is just one more lie that the cheater told. He is so over! Get Lost!
This story doesn’t make sense to me. When Angelina was in the hospital there were photos of Brad’s parents and Angelina’s brother in France. I have a hard time believing they were living in a hotel instead of the house. Also why would Brad get high with kids in the house who could walk-in any second? Brad and Angelina never said they don’t have help. They said they don’t have live-in help and two nannies and would probably hire a third. I don’t know why everybody misquotes and twists their words around.
What a liar is that men, i don’t care if you smoke it but don’t do it with children in the house.
He ls a liar because he said that he doesn’t do it anymore because he is a dad now and the next thing you hear that he still does it.
So Brad next time don’t talk about it when you don’t have to lie about it.
DRUNK, STONED AND A LIAR so what is next?
@Beth the story is that Quentin was in the hotel, not Brad. I’ll reword that part so that it’s clearer.
@beth
Brad himself has said in a interview a few months back that when he woke up he found a few empty bottles of wine and a smoking device now taratino says the same with more details. So no misqoutes and twisting words.
That men is a liar, he is stoned and a drunk (he admitted that also when he said that one of his children almost choked on a iceqube and he couldn’t react because he was so drunk)
What a father, i am curious if he gets away with it in the press because when another celeb does this they are crussifed in the press, think britney.
As I said in another thread, I think he still indulges every once in a while, too.
Did anyone really think he had completely quit?
other than the bat-shit crazy brangeloonies, that is…
hmm a big brick of hash and only occasional use. Why have so much lying around if it’ll go stale. I doubt it’s occasional. It’s all about appearances. Quentin’s a turd for exposing him for the sake of attracting pot heads to the movie. So funny how these guys are so proud of their pot use but won’t mention their use of other less popular illegal substances. I’m quite sure they indulge occasionally in those too.
beth, why would Quentin lie, the man himself even implied it without explicitly saying so. I think it’s okay what he did considering he had “friends” there, not hired help of course, to take care of the kids. His problem though is that he tries too hard to be perfect, by stating he has no help, doesn’t indulge after kids etc, won’t marry because of gays… etc
So, what does this make all of Brad’s recent comments regarding not smoking anything anymore? Me thinks that Brad and Quentin won’t be such good pals after this little revelation.
Also, if someone has a brick of hash, they are hardly keeping it around just to pass it out to their friends, but not indulging in it themselves. I mean really, if the guy had it, he was smoking it, which makes all of his recent comments a pack of lies. Also, if he gave it up smoking everything for the bio kids, Shiloh was very much around in 2008, so that theory is out the door.
Once a burner always a burner. Tarantino should not have ratted Brad out.
Celebitchy I’m really confused about your comment because the interview says several times that Quentin was at the house and he even said that the kids were sleeping while they smoked. DD and Prees, what are you talking about? I have never heard Brad and Angelina say they don’t have help. They have always said they had a couple of nannies who do not spend the night. I’m assuming Prees is saying the hash story is true so that means they have 12 nannies eventhough Brad and Angelina only say 2 or 3. In the few pictures of the whole family, I have seen only two people when they were in France and New Orleans. I would think if they had so many there would be photos of them. I don’t know if the smoking is true. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
he said it on the jimmy kimmel show a few weeks ago. right before the brad denial of still toking thing. qt said they smoked and drank seven bottles of brads wine…..HIS wine, from his winery.
Brad and Angelina tell so many lies your head can spin.
They have no friends so those people are hired help.
He still boozes and does drugs. 90% of the time he looks stoned and out of it. Especially these last few years and this last year after the twins.
Remember they said they could not use the computer and contradicted themselves soon afterwards.
The timeline of their adultery was also one big lie. They are liars and fakers and I like them less every single day.
Those twins must have been IVF too.
Ursula, which day was it that you liked them? I must have missed that day. 😉
LOL Ducky, I used to like Angelina when she was true to herself, cleaned up and adopted Mad. But she is as fake as a 3 dollar bill these days and so fame hungry that I do not recognise the person that I was a fan of.
Brad not so much, but he was cute and harmless. Never thought he was that talented, but atleast he was not a pious, know-it-all, do-as-I-say-but-not as-I do, baby collecting, dumb and dumber liar. He was harmless then. Now he is the most annoying thing since Bennifer.
For those interested in hearing the actual interview about the hash, TMZ has just posted it.
The bitch he lives with will kick his ass.
If he would just be quiet, I wouldn’t care one bit what he does or doesn’t do. But he feels the need to constantly talk about everything like that, and then it turns out that what he’s saying isn’t even true. He must be dumber than I thought, because he sets himself up over and over.
I guess the whole “I don’t do that now that I’m a dad” thing was just yet another opportunity to remind everyone that he’s a dad. Just about every interview or comment involves that, about how he’s a dad now so he does this or that, he’s got six kids now so he feels this way, etc. Just shut up and be their dad instead of using it for more fame.
Yeah Ursula the twins were concieved with Jen’s eggs. If anyone needs to partake its people with 6 noisy kids that’s what nannies are for to babysit the kids.
Queer as a 3 dollar bill is the saying Ursula. Now if you would have said “Fake as Tori Spelling’s titties” you would have been on the money.
I guess Brad’s confused as to when he actually became a dad. I thought the clock started ticking the moment he signed those adoption papers.
Anyhoo, Quentin is a jerk for blabbing.
damn, does he looked pulled back and stretched in that pic above? Julliet Lewis said Brad used to smoke pot with her all the time. remember she was only 16 when he was dating her and using drugs with the child.
oh for christs sake, so what if he gets stoned from time to time? hes brad pitt, aka- rich. they have people on staff to take care of the kids when they want to do things. adult things. that everyone does. you cant tell me that regular old people with kids dont smoke pot. or drink. and everyone saying hes a liar…get over it. everyone lies. get off your high horse. im not a fan of brad and angie at all, really. i just think its kind of ridiculous that some people are holding this grudge against brad pitt for leaving jenifer aniston, or lying about such and such in an interview 2 years ago. get over it, its not your life, you busybodies. 🙂
Yeah, peanut butter, you’re clearly not a fan! Riiiight…
And it matters not because pot is so horrible, but because Brad JUST did an interview in which he claimed he hadn’t touched pot since becoming a dad (which makes him a liar, liar pants on fire).
I did not understand. The cheater was lying before or is lying now about the pot? Well you know, from a man that lies for his own wife, to lie to his fans e sooooo expected.
Pot and hash aren’t the same thing. They have different effects. I think it’s funny how some ppl (#27) are WAITING to pounce on Brad–he’s a liar, cheater. There’s an old joke in Hollywood: “How do you know when actors are lying?” Answer: When their lips start moving. This town is built on lies and everyone here, including your precious Jenny-poo, are liars. You don’t live here so you don’t know.
whatever:
A perfect city to raise kids.
Praise St. Angie!: “while I agree that those sentiments are truly disgusting, I’ve NEVER seen anyone on THIS site say such things about the children.”
**********************************************
Nor have I, on this site, but you wouldn’t believe what has been posted about the kids on other sites. The comments I referred to were some of the more printable ones. I can’t believe anyone could have so much hate for innocent children. If you really want to immerse yourself, check out Female First. But you’d better have a very strong stomach.
while pot and hash aren’t “the same thing”, they both come from the cannabis plant, and they both contain the same active ingredient…THC.
it’s just that hash has a higher concentration of THC, so the effects can be stronger.
The child services will do nothing with this information??????
They are both junkies, especially Angie.
Okay, you know it is possible that he smoked it last year and now he doesn’t. Or maybe he thinks an occasional smoke is different from doing it daily. I have a margarita sometimes after my kids are in bed. Alcohol is a mind altering substance,too. Should CPS be called on me? Let’s get a little perspective.
#30, it all depends on the individual strain. There are buds which are WAY stonier than hash. I personally don’t like hash, but some ppl find it has less side effects. It all depends. In Cali, ppl are so open about smoking. I was on a restaurant patio and ppl were smoking right next to me. It’s almost like Amsterdam here. It’s not a big deal anymore.
So what. The man burns. They are hard-working people, not lazy slobs. Who cares if they indulge in herb/hash. Hardly “junkies” that require CPS to intervene. Calm down people.
I agree with Trillion.
cheyenne I don’t know what boards you like to hang out in, but that kind of thing doesn’t really go on here. So telling us off for it is pretty useless. You must get bored here and try to bring material you read on other sites in order to make your oddly persistent rabid defense of them seem like a noble cause.
Cheyenne is right. Some of the comments here can be bad too, like the person who said they can’t wait until they split up so they can laugh? I’m sure that’s going to have no effect on the kids, right? I can’t imagine being that spite-filled. You may hate the parents, but wishing bad things befall them is a step too far. And, not very classy or nice, I might add.
Calling their help “friends” was pretty funny. But I bet the relationship between Tarantino and Brad cools off after this, especially if it gets a lot of criticism in the press. It seems unprofessional of a director to talk about his actors’ personal lives.
Kevin “fake as a three dollar bill” is also a saying but I think I like yours better.
Why is this news so shocking?
I can’t be d*cked to read all the ignorant, hateful comments, but I do take issue with Bradly smoking before the twins were born.
I mean, if Mr. Jaundice smokes up if/when I’m preggers – that babeh’ll be raised by a single mama. 😉
But that’s mainly because I’m the pothead in the family, and if I can refrain for a year or so while I’m birthin’ babies, I’d expect the Mr. to do the same.
This just in…..Brad Pitt lies.
Brad and Anj are both liars, they say whatever they need to say, people need to wake up and quit believing their lies.
“Nor have I, on this site, but you wouldn’t believe what has been posted about the kids on other sites.”
then why make the accusation about posters on this site? DD is right, those types of things don’t really go on here.
I have seen people say that they hope these two break up, which isn’t very nice, to be sure, but it’s hardly as bad as the things you claim to have seen on other sites.
Frankly, I don’t think it’s because they really want these two to break up, but because they can’t wait to see what the bat-shit crazy brangeloonies will do when their golden couple is no longer. seriously, there are so many people who act like they KNOW these two, and that the Jolie-Pitt relationship is the basis of their entire lives.
