Here's the thing, I've got a brain that works independently of my lap but even I care deeply about the fact that Brad Pitt has declared he will never get naked on film again.
Look at him here, all chiselled and edgy.
It's not as though he's been naked recently, but Brad Pitt not getting naked just seals the deal on the end of an era. Brad Pitt getting naked was as dependable a fact of our youth as the change of the seasons, or BBC period dramas. (NSFW - see, um, all of him here. Good lord.)
The reason he's giving is that he doesn't want to embarrass his kids in the future, or be mocked at by the self-same spawn. "I don't want to be embarrassed when my kids get old enough to see my films," he said. "I can't see any more nude scenes [in my career.]"
HELLO? Dear lord, you're Brad Pitt for God's sake. Adonis was reincarnated in Troy, Thelma and Louise, Mr and Mrs Smith - name one of his movies and chances are his backside makes an appearance. If I were Brad Pitt I'd burn all evidence of my film career just so's I didn't give my kids a complex.
"Daddy, what did you do before I was born?"
"Well son, I was consistently voted the world's most attractive man, and women the world over cried themselves to sleep at night because they would never be able to get a piece."
"Aw crap."
Not that this nude ban affects me much. I'm a Johnny Depp girl myself.
