Brad Pitt told Newsweek he’s never Googled himself. During the magazine’s 13th Annual Oscar Round Table discussion Brad talked about the perils of fame (HA) and what technological gadgets he uses.

The reason Brad doesn’t Google himself isn’t because he isn’t vain (we know that), it’s because he’s practically a Luddite. He tells Newsweek:

“Dear God. No. Never [does he Google himself]. First of all, I don’t really know how to operate a computer…I have a Blackberry.”

Ugh. It’s a turn off when people say they can’t “operate a computer.” He also talks about how he hates doing publicity for his latest films:

“This publicity machine is out of control…It’s everything we didn’t sign up for. There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares. Somehow you’re not supporting your film if you don’t get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this.”

Then how does he explain the W spread he photographed of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding his children? Color us crazy, but going on Oprah and giving a bunch of fuzzy, non-committal answers about your love life is much less intrusive than a spread like that!

I don’t think Brad Pitt is too bright, do you? But I hear that Benjamin Button movie is excellent, so we’ll just smile and nod.
