No, I don’t get into this nonsense often. And yes, I absolutely loathe the idea of celebrities running for public office based on their popularity rather than their ability.
This, however, is truly one of the more noble efforts I’ve seen in a long time. Brad Pitt is doing in his small way a fairly significant act, and is getting encouragement to take on far larger responsibilities:

I don’t encourage you to fast forward to 3:45 (you should watch the whole interview), but the reporter reflects on a previous Pitt interview about love being “how somebody else’s interests trump your own.”
It’s evident that Pitt lives that maxim, with or without government there to help. Wish others would.
