Brad Pitt on parenthood — the most lovely thing and the biggest pain the ass!
Actor Brad Pitt, 43, talks to this month’s issue of V Magazine about life with partner Angelina Jolie, 32, and their kids, which he "couldn’t imagine any other way." The couple have four children together: Maddox Chivan, 6, Pax Thien, 3 1/2, Zahara Marley, 2 1/2, and Shiloh Nouvel, 15 months.
The interview took place just after the Fourth of July — Brad discusses celebrating life everyday.
We missed [Fourth of July] here. But when you have four kids, every day is the Fourth of July.
Brad also says that becoming a father has been one of the most significant events in his life; it’s crazy but he wouldn’t change it under any circumstances.
Yeah. It’s hilarious. It’s the funniest, most lovely thing I’ve ever taken on. And the biggest pain in the ass as well. And I couldn’t go back. I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
The father of four also talks about the purpose of having Shiloh in Namibia, the constant spotlight, and their ability to control what they can.
It’s fourfold. For one, we know that’s going to happen so it becomes a plus. It’s all about cost and gain, pluses and minuses. Two, and most importantly, we loved the idea of our daughter being born on another continent, something she’ll be able to have roots in as well and want to explore as she gets older. That was the preeminent factor for us.
Three, we knew that they had very strong privacy laws there. And we knew there was going to be a huge bounty on our heads and we were going to get very little peace unless we went to a place like that. And four, it happened to be a place that we loved.
Brad’s new film, The Assassination of Jesse James, opens next month.
