BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhuanet) -- Reports are rife that Brad Pitt is pondering a career in politics and to make a bid for the White House with Angelina Jolile by his side.

The Hollywood star will be turning his back to the dull acting and trying his hand at politics, but he will start with running for the Senate first, media reports said Thursday.

"There's not much left for him to do in Hollywood," a source close to Pitt says. “Brad will run for Senate and if all goes well will mount a bid to become President in 2016.”

So what's on the top of Pitt's agenda? Legalizing marijuana. "He believes it would be the biggest moneymaker since the Internet,” the source said.

And how does Angie feel about her partner's "political passion"? She is looking forward to the day she may be the first lady of this country, according to source close to the couple.
