Brad Pitt plays a ruthless hitman in new movie Killing Them Softly but he's not worried about playing such a violent character.
'Violence is an accepted part of the gangster world,' he says.
'Murder is an accepted possibility when you're dealing in crime. I would have a much harder time playing a racist.'
And Brad, 48, believes we live with brutal killing all around us.
'If you've ever had a hamburger, have you seen how they butcher cows?' he asks. 'It's barbaric, it's horrendous. It's very violent.
'This is the world we live in.'
