Brad Pitt is bringing moustaches back.

"That's my goal," the actor, 44, told Extra at the Monday screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in New Orleans. "I don't think 'staches are respected enough."

The star has been sporting the facial hair while shooting war flick Inglourious Basterds.

Added Pitt: "It's political. It's a political statement."

(Also showing off upper-lip hair? BFF George Clooney for his movie Men Who Stare at Goats. Check out photos of George and Brad's Bromance.)

The actor - who is born an old man ages backwards in Button - said he didn't mind seeing an elderly version of himself on screen.

"It's actually kind of comforting to see that," he said. "No surprises."

Pitt was joined at the premiere by Angelina Jolie - whom he'd consider marrying should it become important to their six kids, he said on the Today show Monday.

"I'm very, very proud," Jolie said about her beau's movie.

When asked if the family had a nice Thanksgiving, Jolie - who usually only makes cereal for Pitt - said: "Yeah, we did. Wonderful. We all did chip in."

Pitt admits he didn't bake the turkey either.

"[The cooking] wasn't me, but we ate like kings," he said.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button hits theaters Dec. 25.

    Don't know what happened, but he has lost his sex appeal - don't think it's age - look at George - still sexy. Brad looks, dirty, messy, frumpy - ugh!

    I'm sure all the guys are going to start growing a stache now that BP has one. I swear he and AJ get stupider with each interview they do. I personally think Earl looks sexier with a mustache!:)
