Brad tells: My kids come first

The dad of six opens up about having an instant family, and his enduring love for Angelina Jolie…

Despite just welcoming new twins Knox and Vivienne, Brad Pitt is back at work, attending the Venice Film Festival and doing a new movie with director Quentin Tarantino. But he confesses his partner Angelina Jolie and their kids will always be his number one priority.

Brad, how do you combine six children, humanitarian work and movies?

I’m enjoying this period of my life because I see that I can do a lot more than I ever imagined before. It’s all about re-jigging your world and not limiting yourself. But my family comes before everything else. No film will ever take precedence or fill me with the kind of joy that I have as a father and partner.

You took Pax and Maddox to the Venice Film Festival. Do you ever worry about the impact your celebrity lifestyle has on the children?

Kids have such an intense curiosity and different perspective on it all. Right now it’s just a game for them.
