Brad PittBrad PittMore news of wedding bells on the horizon?

Brad Pitt has given a clue as to when he and Angelina Jolie will marry.

But don't get too excited.

He seems to be making more of a social point than giving away any concrete facts.

Brad, 42, told Esquire magazine: "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

Cryptic. President Bush, could you do something about this?

He was, however, more forthcoming on the subject of his kids.

Talking about Shiloh, his daughter with Ange who was born in May 2006, he added he "cannot imagine life" without the couple's adopted children, Maddox, five, and Zahara, one.

And on his parenting style, he added: "I try not to stifle them in any way... If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious.

"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them... I really like that last minute before they fade off.

"And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, 'You have three more minutes.'"

(Could we just have a couple of minutes, Brad?)
