Most movie stars secretly want to be rock stars or athletes.
But Brad Pitt has his eye on another vocation – architect.
Brad is gearing up to join a team of consultants that will design a new hotel in Dubai, Access Hollywood has learned.
Developer Zabeel Properties confirmed the actor will join Los Angeles architecture firm GRAFT in order to help design an 800-room hotel.
“Whilst acting is my career, architecture is my passion,” the actor said in a statement on Zabeel Properties’ Web site. “Selecting this development as my first major construction project has been a simple decision. It will underpin not only my values for environmentally-friendly architecture, but also embrace my career in entertainment.”
Showing off his promotional skills as well, Brad said that while plans might be a few months away, he is certain the project will attract visitors from across the globe.
“We will be unveiling precise plans in the next few months, but you can expect something that is not only stunning to look at, but will also be an incredible attraction to visit or stay it,” he added in his statement.
Brad is currently helping to build 150 environmentally conscious homes for Hurricane Katrina survivors in New Orleans. He announced those plans last December.
In the meantime, Brad is currently in France with his partner, Angelina Jolie, and their four children, awaiting the birth of two more for their brood. Jolie is currently pregnant with the couple’s first set of twin girls.
