LONDON: Actor Brad Pitt is reportedly miserable and his relationship with Angelina Jolie under pressure since he has moved into a cramped 1970s tower block in Paris.

According to contactmusic.com, Pitt had earlier lived in a $25.5 million mansion with his former wife Jennifer Aniston but is now staying in a deprived area of Paris with Jolie and her two adopted children. A café worker Ahmed Shrir, who serves Pitt regularly, says: “Brad is a really nice guy, but he’s not too happy about this area. He says Angelina wanted to live in an ordinary Paris district, and that his security people put them in the high-rise block. Although Brad’s great with the kids, he says there’s nowhere for them to play properly, and they are both very worried about the pollution. There are hundreds of cars going by night and day, not to mention the trains. Brad came over here to get away from it all. He finds Angelina very demanding and doesn’t seem to be very happy with the way their lives are going.”

Pitt’s neighbour Mohamed Dhabi says: “I have heard Brad grumbling as they go out in the morning with their children, and I know he’d like to live somewhere a lot nicer. Americans come to Paris looking for romance and beauty — they won’t get much of that living here. The plumbing in this building is very bad and sometimes you get a sickly, cabbage-like smell filling the entire place.”

Pitt is also denying his present humanitarian efforts are because of his relationship with Jolie.
