Published Monday, Jan 30 2012, 15:36 GMT | By Justin Harp | 21 comments
Brad Pitt has clarified his recent comments that he and partner Angelina Jolie want to get married.
The Moneyball actor has previously vowed that he and Jolie will wait until gay marriage is legal before tying the knot, but recently said he finds it hard to "hold out".
Pitt told reporters prior to the SAG Awards on Sunday (January 29) that he regrets commenting on his desire to marry Jolie.
"Why did I say that?" he quipped to Access Hollywood. "There's an issue of equality in marriage, and we wanted to hold out until everyone had the right."
He continued: "I was just commenting on [it because] one, it's really difficult [to wait] when you love someone, and two, that we're getting a lot of heat from the kids."
Pitt recently told a German newspaper that his and Jolie's children are banned from looking up the couple on Google.
The star has received a 'Best Actor' Academy Award nomination for Moneyball.
