Brad Pitt joked that he is running for political office, saying: "I'm running on the 'gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana' platform."
Pitt's political aspirations came under the spotlight with his charity push to help rebuild New Orleans with affordable green houses.
He has become such a figure of pride for the city that a t-shirt declaring 'Brad Pitt for Mayor' has become a popular fashion statement.
