Sometimes beauty can be a curse. Like the former president, Pitt admits, "I knew I was lucky with the ladies," but doesn't respect covering up past mistakes. "I think Clinton is a phony," Pitt tells Details, "Don't you wish he just said, 'This is not your business. We're handling it in the privacy of our home." Continuing, "I think Bill Clinton pattered himself after Redford. He idolized him. It's so blatant. Watch any Redford movie with a cause and then watch Clinton. Clinton had this quest to be liked," says Pitt. "It's the same with movie stars."

Brad and Jennifer are currently restoring a Craftsman house in the hills of Hollywood. He tells Details of his love of architecture and penchant for design, particularly the Arts and Crafts style of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In fact, last summer he contributed photographs to a coffee-table book on the Greene brothers, pioneers of California's bungalow style. He reflects on life after film, "I'd like to design something like a city," he tells Details, "or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right."

His project for retirement, Pitt jokes, "I'm gonna design my own fleet of trailers." Changing his mind, he springs from his recliner. 'No!' he cries. "I'm gonna record an album like Jennifer Lopez. It'll be an acoustic version of K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Then maybe I'll design a line of clothes like Puff Daddy, but all in synthetic fur..."

Now commanding $20 million a movie, Pitt's debut in film was an extra in Less Than Zero. He reflects, "I got to stand in the doorway during a party. I got to wear a pink-and-white striped tank top and sunglasses -- I got paid 38 bucks."

Details is the official sponsor the premiere of Snatch, held in LA on Thursday, January 18th.
