TIGER BEAT presents BRAD PITT special

When Brad appeared on the scene as the young hunk on Dallas, he was being called the "next big sex symbol"-A label he was uncomfortable with even back then. Indeed, Brad was a very down-to-earth young guy, who was thrilled at his big break. Back then, the 22-year-old was very talkative and open about his personal life-and we have him on tape!

TIGER BEAT Tell us about your character on Dallas.

BRAD PITT He is Shalane McCall's boyfriend, Charles. I am 16 or 17 on the show and Shalane is 15. Basically, we are just dating, but I keep getting into trouble with her parents. The first time they meet me is when they come home from their honeymoon and they catch us mashing (kissing) on the stairway. We think they are still away.

TIGER BEAT How did you get the role on Dallas?

BRAD PITT I auditioned for a character on the series OUR HOUSE and they said,"While you're here, read for this." So I went next door and read for the producer of DALLAS and bingo!

TIGER BEAT Where did you live when you first got to California?

BRAD PITT I knew this girl from home whose dad had a place out here. There was just a house keeper living in it, so I got to stay there for free for a month. Then I met some guys-there were eight of us living in this little apartment in North Hollywood. It was a blast. We had no furniture-we all slept on the floor in the front room. We had a TV, a toaster oven and a stereo. What more does a guy need? We were all short on girl friends and money!

TIGER BEAT What did you do to earn money?

BRAD PITT Any odd job I could get. There is a place called the job Factory and every week they list all of these odd jobs. Those jobs kept me in Captain Crunch and peanut butter and jelly. It finally got so bad that my buddy and I said let's see who can get the most humiliating job. I won! I got a job with a restaurant called El Pollo Loco. I dressed up as a chiken, stood out on the corner of Sunset Blvd. In one-hundred degree weather and flapped my wings for the grand opening. They liked me so much, they asked me back!

TIGER BEAT Your first acting job! What's next?

BRAD PITT I did a few weeks on ANOTHER WORLD. I had to go to New York for that and I had never been there. Then I got DALLAS and in between filming those I did a GROWING PAIN episode. I did a Mountain Dew commercial-got to water ski in Florida. And I just got a McDonald's commercial today! My mom is proud!

TIGER BEAT How long have you been in L.A.?

BRAD PITT A little over a year. I was a dork when I got out there. I didn't even know I had to have pictures!

TIGER BEAT What kind of kid were you?

BRAD PITT A dork! I don't know. I was pretty good at everything, but not great at anything. My grards were pretty good. I was involved in every school thing, every sport.

TIGER BEAT What is the best part of your personality?

BRAD PITT I don't know...Since I have come out here, I have really been a loner, investing all my money and time in making it. It's so important to me. I really don't go out that much-just with my buddies and we'll go catch a flick. I can have just as much fun by myself. I read, write, listen to tunes.

TIGER BEAT Who is your favorite actors?

BRAD PITT Jack Nicholson is up there. I love Mickey Rourke-he blows my mind. I love Sean Penn, even with the bad press he gets. When he is on the screen, I admire him. I like Timothy Hutton, too. I have never really gotten into the classics, which I have been trying to learn about lately. Marlon Brando blows me away. The minute he came on the screen in STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, wooooo!

TIGER BEAT Okay, here's the dreaded question-what do you look for in a girl?

BRAD PITT One minute I think I know what I want and then I find something totally different. It's hard to put a lable on it. I do fall for dark-haired and dark-eyed girls. But, looks are not everything-I have met so many beautiful girls out here, but because of their personalities, they were not so beautiful anymore. Then I met girls I would not be attracted to right off but because of their personalities--wooooo! I guess you can say the standard is a sense of humor.

TIGER BEAT What's your favorite food?

BRAD PITT Shakey's smorgesboard-at $ 3.49 it's a heck of a deal. All the salada and pizza you can eat. And cinnamon rolls. My favorite meal-really.

TIGER BEAT What do you see yourself in 10 years?

BRAD PITT In ten years, I'll be 32. I hope I am married, with some Brad Jrs. I would like to be in a postion like Kevin Costner. He's on top and respected as an actor. I want to make people feel things like how I feel when I go to movies. I would like to have my own production company.

Donkey Tricks

Driving down a rural road in Kansas with his pet donkey in the back of his pickup truck, a young man got a flat tire. He got out of his truck, coaxed the donkey out of the bed of the pickup and had it stick its head under the bumper to lift the truck. A passing farmer saw the event and stopped. "Hey! That's a pretty clever trick! How'd you get your donkey to do that?"
The young man replied, "It's all in the breeding actually. This is a jack ass."

Driving With The Little Woman Driving home with his wife one day, a man was stopped by the police. The cop said, "Sir, you were going 60 mph in a 50 mph zone."
"No I wasn't," the man said.
His wife leans over and says, "Yes you were, honey."
"Why don't you shut the hell up?" he told her.
The cop continues, "You also didn't have your seatbelt on, sir."
"Yes I did," the man said.
"No, honey, no you didn't," his wife chimed in.
"Didn't I just tell you to shut up?" the man shouted.
The cop finally leans into the window and says, "Ma'am, is this your husband?"
"He sure is," she replied.
"Is he always this mean and rude with you?" the cop asked.
The woman smiled at him and said, "No, officer, only when he's drunk."

Fall Hunters

Last November a couple of hunters were out in the woods when one of them fell to the ground clutching his chest. After struggling for a few seconds, he seemed to stop breathing. The other guy quickly pulls out his cellphone and dials 911. He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead! What should I do?"

In a soothing voice, the operator says, "Try to remain calm, sir. I can help you. First, we need to make sure he's dead." Immediately the operator heard a shot.

The frantic hunter comes back on the line and says, "Okay, now what?"

Fishing Trip
In bed with her lover after several hours of passionate lovemaking, Brenda's phone rang. She told her lover, who was also her husband's best friend, to be very quiet. As she answered the phone, he listened quietly to her cheerful side of the conversation. "Hello? Oh, hi. Oh, really? Well, that sounds wonderful! I'm so happy for you! Great! Okay, have a good time. Bye!" She hung up the phone and her lover asked, "Who was that?"
She replied, "That was just my husband, telling me all about the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you."

Fuzzy Math
A woman holding a baby walks into a drug store and asks if she can use the store's baby scale.

"Sorry, ma'am," says the storekeeper. "Our baby scale is broken. But we can figure the baby's weight if we weigh mother and baby together on the adult scale, and then weigh the mother alone, and subtract the mother's weight."
"Oh, that won't work," says the woman.
"Why not?" asks the man.
"Well," she says, "I'm not the mother - I'm the aunt. picture brad pitt playgirl"

God Is Watching You

Breaking into a home late one night, a burglar was startled when he entered the living room and a voice said, "God is watching you." Looking around the room, he spotted a parrot in a cage in the corner of the room. "What's your name?" he whispered to the parrot. "Moses," the bird squawked back. The burglar started laughing. "What kind of idiot names their parrot 'Moses'?"
The bird replied, "The kind of idiot who named his Rottweiler 'God.'"
