Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie 'hide behind walls'

Brad Pitt has revealed that he and long-term partner Angelina Jolie ''hide behind some walls'' so that they can live their life in peace.

The Tree of Life star, who raises children, Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 2-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with the 36-year-old actress, explained that they have become accustomed to avoiding the press.

Pitt told The Guardian: "It took me a good decade of hiding in my house and not going outside to even, like, get my arms around this idea of celebrity, where suddenly people are looking for you to pick your nose or get a shot of you kissing some woman.

"It's a very discombobulating thing. But Angie and I have got it down pretty well. We have to hide behind some walls, but we're good."

The 47-year-old, who was brought up as a Christian, said that he is not religious because it "doesn't work" for him.

"I grew up in the f**king buckle of the Bible belt," he said.

"This idea of an all-powerful, watching being that's controlling our moves and giving us a chance to say he's the greatest so we get into some eternal heaven - that just doesn't work for me, man. I got a real problem with it.

"I see the value of religion and what it offers to people as a cushion and I don't want to step on that. On the other hand, I've seen where I grew up how it becomes separatist, and I get quite aggravated and antagonistic."
