Brad Pitt Malibu Home on Sale, Prepares for 'Moneyball'
Brad Pitt has put his oceanfront home in Malibu, California on the market for $13.75 million, a month before the release of his new film “Moneyball.”
The busy actor purchased the home in 2005 for $8 million following his divorce from Jennifer Aniston. The four-bedroom, 4,088 square foot home includes 1.26 acres and a lap pool.
The 1962 home is located in the desirable Encinal Bluffs area of Malibu and also comes with a private beach cove, tennis court, and of course, a state-of-the-art security system.
A well-known architectural devotee, Pitt already has plans approved for an additional story to be added to the single-story home.
On newsstands this week, Pitt appears on the cover of New York Magazine alongside Jonah Hill. The actors star together in “Moneyball,” the new baseball film which premieres this fall.
Donning a disheveled look, Pitt tells NY Magazine that he “became obsessed” with the storyline of the new film. The true-life baseball movie is “a story about justice,” says Pitt.
“Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game," the book Pitt’s new movie is based off of, was written by Michael Lewis. The film portrays the life of the Oakland baseball team manager Billy Beane, as he struggles to assemble a team with huge and unfair disadvantages.
“How is a team with a $40 million payroll going to compete with a team with a $140 million payroll and another $100 million in reserves? Any talent they grow is going to get poached by the rich teams,” Pitt says about the film. “That became really interesting to me.”
“Moneyball,” starring Pitt, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, hits theaters on September 23.
Pitt shares six children with long-time partner, Angelina Jolie, who currently lives in Scotland while the 47-year old actor films his latest project “World War Z.” The couple also has homes in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Cambodia, France, and Italy.
