Brad Pitt is Proud to Provide His Brood With a 'World View'
 Limelight |
After traveling across the globe with his partner Angelina Jolie and their six children — Maddox Chivan, 8, Pax Thien, 5 ½, Zahara Marley, 4 ½, Shiloh Nouvel, 3, and fraternal 1-year-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon — actor Brad Pitt tells the Times Online that their experiences are priceless. “Everywhere is interesting in its own way, each place has its own feel and something to offer: you pick up something, the kids pick up something,” he explains.
“They have this world view which we are very proud and happy that we are able to provide.”
Constantly gracing the covers of countless magazines, Brad admits both he and Angelina see “no point” in browsing through the stories. However, the same can’t be said for the couple’s children, who have slowly grown accustomed to their parents’ celebrity status. “We’re still trying to negotiate how we explain to them what we do,” he shares.
“It’s not strange to them that their parents will come on television. And it’s not strange for them to walk outside and for there to be a photographer. They just think if there is printed material hanging around, their parents might be on the cover.”
While escaping the glitz and glamor — and the paparazzi! — is far from easy, Brad reveals that the family has managed to dodge the spotlight more than once. “Oh, we get peace in our lives,” he says. “We’re pretty good at it. You carve out that time for the family.” That said, while their vacations offer a temporary respite from fame, as the 45-year-old actor jokes, they have yet to include much tranquility.
“Do we get a little silence with the kids? No, not that kind of silence — silence is over at home, but we like that chaos…”
