Brad Pitt admits he 'hasn't cried in 20 years' but is increasingly moved by his children: 'I'm quite famously a not-crier'

If you're one of those who have formed their opinions on Brad Pitt after watching movies such as 'Fight Club,' 'Seven,' the Ocean's series, and the likes, then you wouldn't be too surprised to learn that he has not cried in 20 years. Yes, 20 years.
The 55-year-old actor made the startling revelation during a heartfelt interview with fellow Academy Award-winner and legendary actor Anthony Hopkins, whom he has worked with in the 1994 western epic 'Legends of the Fall' and 1998's fantasy drama 'Meet Joe Black.'

The confession came as Hopkins was discussing Marlon Brando, who he said was "the greatest actor ever". He said there was a scene in a documentary about the actor where his father—reportedly notorious for not giving him any acknowledgment or praise—made him break down.
"There’s a shot of his father, sitting down next to his son, and Mike Wallace asks, 'So, what do you think of your son’s success?'" Hopkins told Pitt. "And his father says, 'Yeah, it's okay.' And you see the hurt in Brando. I cried."
"The thing about me is, I cry at the drop of a hat because everything moves me because I’m getting old," he added, before asking Pitt if he cries as well.
"I am quite famously a not-crier," Pitt replied. "Is that a term? I hadn’t cried in, like, 20 years, and now I find myself, at this later stage, much more moved—moved by my kids, moved by friends, moved by the news. Just moved. I think it’s a good sign. I don’t know where it’s going, but I think it’s a good sign."
Hopkins assured him that it would all change in the coming years and that Pitt would find himself becoming much more of a crier as he aged.
"You’ll find, as you get older, that you just want to weep," the 81-year-old said. "It’s not even about grief. It’s about the glory of life."
