Brad Pitt was an ‘artist’ with marijuana before he ditched his smoking habit to become a father

He’s better known for his movie career and famous brood, but Brad Pitt says he was once an “artist” when it came to marijuana.

“I certainly had my day,” the father of six told HBO‘s “Real Time” host Bill Maher in an interview Friday.

Maher, who said the actor’s portrayal of a pot smoker in 1993′s “True Romance” was “one of the great stoner performances,” also told a story in which he witnessed Pitt rolling “the most perfect” joint he had ever seen at a New Year’s Eve party.

“I’m an artist,” the actor brazenly responded.

Though the “Inglourious Basterds” star had fun during his earlier days, the actor admits he ditched the habit when he became a father to his six kids – Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 1 – with partner Angelina Jolie.

“I’m a dad now,” he explains. “You want to be alert and my eyes used to glaze over when I did that.”

Pitt’s penchant for pot also began to affect his acting career.

“I liked to smoke a bit of grass at the time, and I became very sheltered. Then I got bored,” Pitt told Parade magazine. “I was turning into a damn doughnut, really. So I moved as far away from that as I could. I was done.”
