Pitt: I wear the skirts

BRAD PITT has revealed how his wife Jennifer Aniston likes him to wear a skirt in the bedroom.

The Greek-American Friends actress begged Pitt to bring home the skimpy costume he wore in new movie epic Troy.

In the film, Pitt plays Greek warrior Achilles and Aniston took a special interest because she comes from a Greek family.

“I will tell you this, my wife likes the costume,” he said as he arrived at the Cannes Film Festival.

“My Greek woman asked me to bring it home.”

But Pitt, 40, will not be wearing the tiny leather outfit and sandals on the big screen again.

“I’ve done it,” he said, when asked if he would appear in any more epics. “I’m done with the skirt.”

Asked if he preferred Greek women, the actor joked: “You want me to say Greek women are better than all other women? That’s very dangerous. Good at home, bad out here.”

Despite his busy schedule, Pitt revealed he had found time to see the final episode of Friends in which Aniston, 35, made her last appearance as Rachel.

“Yes, I have seen it and it was good,” he said.

Last week, Pitt hinted that his marriage might not last forever.

“I’m not sure if it really is in our nature to be with someone for the rest of our lives,” he said. “Jen and myself don’t cage each other with this pressure of happily ever after.”

He later insisted the comment had not landed him “in the doghouse” with his wife and said they were trying for a baby.

The cast of Troy walked down the red carpet at Cannes last night for the film’s French premiere.

Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Troy is a new take on Homer’s The Iliad, which recounts the city’s siege by a Greek army that sailed to retrieve Helen, queen of Sparta, who fled with her lover, Paris.

While rooted in ancient mythology, the story of a Western power waging war against an Eastern enemy remains relevant with the US-led occupation of Iraq, Pitt and his co-stars said at a Cannes news conference.

“There’s no way around it. The themes Homer seemed to be getting at resonate today,” Pitt said.

He said the element he appreciates most in The Iliad is “this greater idea of a common humanity, and how do we get past these hatreds and resentments that build up between us?”

Pitt’s Achilles is a vainglorious man who fights for his own renown and ponders whether his name might live on for centuries.

Troy opened Wednesday and yesterday across Europe.

Pitt was joined by co-stars Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Eric Bana and Saffron Burrows.
