The 49-year-old star, who will next appear in June's "World linky War Z," covers the June / July issue of the magazine. As you've probably noticed, bits and pieces of the profile have been floating around the Web all week.
Some of it is not all that new: We've heard him talk previously about how he was stagnant 10 to 15 years ago but made a conscious decision "not to squander my opportunities," as he reiterated to Esquire in interview. It also reminds us of how super-content he is in his new life, raising six kids with fiancée Angelina linky Jolie.
Pitt told Esquire that he has such a hard time remembering the faces of those he meets, he thinks he might suffer from prosopagnosia, or face blindness, though it has not been tested or diagnosed with the disease. We're not sure whether the actor was being facetious or not, but he said even having a "real conversation" does not help.
Lives of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, both on and off the big screen, make headlines around the world. Pictured here, Pitt and Jolie arrive at the 84th Annual Academy linky Awards on February 26, 2012, in Hollywood.
Jolie and Pitt visit refugees in the village of Medjedja, Bosnia, on April 5, 2010. Pitt, George Clooney, linky executive producer Jerry Weintraub and Matt Damon pose for a photo during their hand and footprints ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, on June 5, 2007.

"So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them," Pitt told the magazine. "I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say, 'OK, where did we meet? But it just got worse. People were more offended .... You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited. But it's a mystery to me, man. I can not grasp a face, and yet I come from such a design / aesthetic point of view. I'll get it tested. "

On Thursday, Carnegie Mellon University invited Pitt to have his brain imaged linky and be examined by Marlene Behrmann, a neuroscientist, professor of psychology linky and a member of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition within the university's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social linky Sciences.
After getting permission from the actor to speak openly, Pollaro told Esquire that he once walked into the Pitt-Jolie home just in time to hear the couple's adopted daughter, Zahara, protesting apparently frequent displays his parents of affection.
"I walked in and Angie was standing there and Zahara walked linky up and said, 'Daddy, you're not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you? And it's like this, "Pollaro said.
This was not only reveal Pollaro offer. The chatty friend said that Pitt tries to avoid "sexy scenes with other women since he's met Angelina," whom he's been with for years and became engaged in April 2012. "He's crazy about it and in the same way about it, "Pollaro continue. "No matter how hard he works, if one of those kids runs by the window he'll get out of his chair and give them a kiss. And I do not think I've ever seen Angie without one of those children in her arms. "
"I have a handful of close friends and I have my family, I do not know life to be any happier," the actor said. "I do these things. I just have not known life to be any happier. "
"I've always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to make it big," he said. "There's constant chatter in our house, whether it's giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they're gone. I hate him. Maybe it's nice to be in a hotel room for a day - 'Oh, nice, I can finally read a paper.' But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life. "
