EPA/W Toda"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," Pitt told the magazine in its October issue. Pitt reportedly reveald the happy state of his growing family with Angelina Jolie, who, he said, he "cannot imagine life" without. Pitt talked about his adopted children with the magazine, saying: "they're as much of my blood as any natural-born, and I'm theirs. That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering [adoption], that's my vote."Parenting style was also broached by Pitt, who is “hands on” along with Jolie.
"I try not to stifle them in any way," he said. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious." "I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them. I really like that last minute before they fade off," he said, adding what might be the first semblance of parental advice offered from a men's magazine. "Always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, 'You have three more minutes.' " Pitt next appears on the big screen in the time-traveling drama, Babel, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, to be released Oct. 27th. Esquire issue hits newsstands Sept. 19.
