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.”
