Brad Pitt Opens Up About Fatherhood And Getting Older

Brad Pitt may thoroughly enjoy being a mega movie star, but there is something he loves even more – being a dad. The Killing Them Softly star opened up about his thoughts on fatherhood and aging during an interview with Good Morning America.

Angelina Jolie, 37, and Pitt, 48, are raising six children together. Their longstanding relationship will result in a trip the alter soon, but the power couple is staying mute about the details, according to Entertainment Weekly. The Pitt-Jolie brood includes Maddox, 11, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and a pair of 4-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

During the interview with Good Morning America, Pitt noted that becoming a parent “turns everything on its head” and stated emphatically twice how much he loves being a father. The large family splits their time between several homes, but reportedly spent a lot of their days in the birthplace of jazz – New Orleans. Brad and Angelina also have a home in Los Angeles, which comes in handy when either one are working on a new film. A home in Europe is also part of the family’s future plans.

Pitt had this to say when discussing spending time a home in Europe:

“They [the children] get more sense of normalcy there. We’re not as hounded at certain places there. France, especially. They have rules about photographing kids. And I think they’re more sensitive to it after the Diana incident. We’re not being bothered.”

The handsome actor turns 49 next month and is already thinking about the big 5-0 looming on the horizon. Pitt had this to say about chalking up another birthday:

“I’ve given a lot of thought to it. You become very aware of time. I think also being a father, you become very — everything’s time allocation for me now … spending my time wisely and doing the things that are important to me.”
