At least in the roles he’s playing in movies, his role as Angelina’s bitch will continue unabated.

Brad Pitt is demanding more masculine film roles after confessing to feeling envious of Leonardo Dicaprio’s recent movie successes. DiCaprio garnered a Best Actor Oscar nomination yesterday for his role as a South African mercenary in Blood Diamond, while his other blockbuster The Departed is up for Best Motion Picture. He plays an undercover cop in the crime thriller.

Now Pitt is keen to match the critical acclaim he’s attracted by signing up for more macho parts, like his Tyler Durden character in Fight Club.

That’s right Bradly, keep thinking to yourself What Would Tyler Durden Do? Huh, What Would Tyler Durden Do?

So projecting himself in the role of Tyler Durden Brad says, “I caught myself on the phone the other day. Leo has been playing some real strong men these last few years and I found myself saying, ‘I want to play more of a man.’ I got off the phone and I thought, ‘No, live like a man, and the movies will follow.’”

Now far be it from me to criticize the man’s lifestyle, but if’n it were me I’d have never got those knockers tattooed on my back for Angelina to orgle when she’s having her way with me. But that’s just me.

Of course what can you expect from a man who owes his career to a stripper.

Brad Pitt only seriously considered becoming an actor after a stripper friend introduced him to her agent. Before finding fame, the heartthrob worked as an assistant to a troupe of exotic dancers and is grateful meeting agent Roy London saved him from a similar career.

Not that there’s anything wrong with stripping. I had a failed attempt at being a manwhore years back. But was never a strippers “assistant”. And by assistant they mean powder boy and by grateful meeting they mean time on the “casting couch”.
