Brad Pitt Loves Coming Home To New Orleans

Brad Pitt loves living in New Orleans because it is the only place his "family can have a sense of privacy." The 44-year-old actor - who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie - can escape the intense interest in his personal life when he goes home to the U.S. city.

He said: "Living in New Orleans means we can all escape to a sense of normalcy, if there's such a thing."

"It's the only place where my family can have a sense of privacy. People there have other things to worry about than all this silliness."

Brad also revealed he decided to star in new movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - in which he has to wear layers of make-up as well as prosthetic noses and scalps - because he was so keen to work with director David Fincher, who helmed his movies "Se7en" and "Fight Club," again.

Recalling the first time he watched a Fincher film, Brad said: "It was after this night of utter debauchery in Mexico in 1992, I watched 'Alien 3.'"

"I remember walking out of the theater thinking, 'OK, that was not what I expected. That wasn't a Hollywood ending'. It really stuck with me."
