Brad tells all about his beard

Bard Pitt

Rumours have been circulating for months about why Brad Pitt has been sporting a grey over-grown beard and now the actor has finally revealed why.

According to a UK newspaper, the sexy star is growing the beard simply because he is bored.

“It’s boredom. No other reason than that,” Brad told the Sun when he was in London on Monday to promote an action-comedy, Kick-Ass, which he helped produce.

At one point over the last few months the 46-year-old’s beard was beaded in a Pirates of the Caribbean style, which prompted rumours his buccaneer-style facial hair was in preparation for a new role.

The star of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has been wearing the beard since November last year as part of his Halloween costume. He had dressed up as DJ Lance Rock from the children’s TV show Yo Gabba Gabba!

After the Kick-Ass afterparty, Brad returned to partner Angelina Jolie and his six children in Venice where Ange is shooting her new movie The Tourist with Johnny Depp.
