Brad Pitt wants close friend George Clooney to run for US president.

The 'Fight Club' actor says while he wouldn't consider running for the position himself, he thinks his 'Ocean's Eleven' co-star would be perfect for the role.

He said: "Oh, my God! I have no desire to do that at this point in my life.

Maybe I serve better by not going through that door. George should do it!

He'd be quite good. Or maybe Ben Affleck should run."

Brad - who is famous for his strong political views - also revealed he had "crises of faith" during his youth.

He told Parade magazine: "I always had a lot of questions about the world, even in kindergarten. A big question to me was fairness. If I'd grown up in some other religion, would I get the same shot at heaven as a Christian has?

"My mother would come into my room and talk to me. I was very fortunate to have

that dialogue with her, but in high school I started to realise that I felt differently from others.

"I had crises of faith. I thought you had to experience things if you want to know right from wrong. I'd go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I'd go to rock concerts and feel the same fervour. Then I'd be told, 'That is the devil's music! Don't partake in that!' I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience."
