Brad Pitt is in damage control mode after what he says are misinterpreted comments about ex-wife Jennifer Aniston that were published in a Parade magazine profile. The 47-year-old Pitt is quoted as saying he is now a "satisfied man" in his relationship with Angelina Jolie. The "Moneyball" star said that prior to Jolie, he wasn't living an interesting life and that his marriage to Aniston had something to do with it. Pitt tried to clarify his comments, saying it was not a reflection on Aniston but on his own feelings. Pitt and Aniston were married in 2000, and he has largely avoided talking about her since their 2005 divorce.
