Brad Pitt: "I Don't Know" Why People Care About My Family
Thursday December 4, 2008

Brad Pitt arrives at the "Burn After Reading" Premiere held at Roy Thomson Hall during the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2008 in Toronto, Canada.

Finally, Brad Pitt admits it isn't easy being a father of six.

"It wears you out. Are you kidding?" the 44-year-old actor said in an interview on Larry King Live on Wednesday. "I'm aging fast."

See Brad Pitt's high school yearbook photo and early modeling shots.

Still, he added, "It's worth every second of it." When King told him there's nothing better than being a father, Pitt replied, "Not for me there's not. No, not for me. I would agree with that."

See what Brad Pitt and Shiloh has in common.

Does Pitt want more kids?

"I don't know" he said. "I can't find a reason why not -- just yet."

Find out the hidden meaning behind Brad Pitt and other stars' autographs.

(Incidentally, he said his children are "healthy, so we're all happy. They are getting heavy.")

This year, he said they're hoping to keep things multicultural with regards to the holidays.

"We're working on it. We're still working on it," he told King. "You know, we tried a little something last year, but the kids are so young, it just didn't mean much, really. But we're getting there.

"You know, as they get older, they'll start to understand more," Pitt added. "Right now, it's still presents, you know."

Asked why the public seems fascinated by the Jolie-Pitt clan, the actor said, "I've stopped thinking about it, really. I mean, I don't know.

"There are certainly people I'm interested in. It's quite complimentary," he said. "But, you know -- and I think it is an interesting family. It's not your usual family."

Count how many times Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie appeared on the cover of Us Weekly last year.

The star also opened up about his buzzed-about new drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is already generating Oscar buzz.

The film's theme about aging "certainly makes me conscious of how much time do I have left," Pitt told King. "Do I -- you know, is this my day? Do I have 40 years left? What do I want to do in that time? How do I want to use it? And who do I want to spend it with?

"And I don't know," he continued. "Me, man, it makes me -- this film just makes me want to hug my kids and call my folks. And it's really special. And I'm not a salesman. I find this one quite authentic and something really special."

JA opted for her career versus marriage. Now she realizes her grave mistake she deeply regrets it.
Unfortunately, no matter how we wish it to be so... LIFE DOES NOT HAVE A REWIND BUTTON. we
just have to learn from our mistakes & keep going. 4+ yrs of riding on JP's coattails is a long time
to say: "I am over it,Don't pity me,Stop stealing my thunder you M**Fs, Im starting to live, My love
life is great!" Her mouth is moving but, her actions are screeching how much she regrets her decision.
You can't have him back, JA, no matter if you take off the "tie". He has the love of his life Angelina,
6 adorable kids, his NOLA, charities, He's finally a man fulfilled with LIFE, LOVE, JOY, HAPPINESS.
And JA, Mr & Mrs. Jolie-Pitt wish you the very best life has to offer you. So please, accept that this
is the end, finito, the fat lady has sung. Your old obnoxious redundant poor pity me party is going
on longer than you were married

yes, she does all this to for what? maybe b/c she's a good person and decent human being. how is she fake? what could she POSSIBLY need to do all the good will for? she certainly doesn't get paid for it.
am sooooo sick of all the jealous angie haterz who go on and on about somebody they don't even know and who probably aren't themselves 1/10 of the person that she is and how she's contributed to good causes.
i just wish u'd all crawl in a hole somewhere with all ur hate and jealousy and beat each others up with all ur vented up hatred.

4 years now have passed since...the past... its WAY past due for this stale sob done-me-wrong drama to die a QUIET SILENT death and be done with already. As for Brad & Angie it is now time to speak freely of their love, respect and mutual commitments to each other, their family, their goals, desires, charities etc. NO ONE has EXCLUSIVITY to the public. They have the right to be who they are. 4 years is a LONG TIME TO HAVE A POOR-PITY-ME-PARTY. Enough! Wrap it up That stale redundant party is OVER. God bless my Brangies.

Pitt just needs to shut his mouth. Brangelina are pimp kids hw couple, #1. After them came Tomkat and J-Lo pictures, Madonna's adopting internationally rigamarole.

7:40 PM why cant we all just get along?? Says:

I love to see Mr. and Mrs. Jolie-Pitt they sure know how to strutt their love on the red carpet! Its a played ploy but just an in the momment impulse. They look like old fashioned Hollywood Royalty. Hopefully, they will bring that sense of Romantic waltzy kinda feeling back to Hollywood. They have great chemistry together. I love how they touch each other constantly showing little signs of endearments toward each other.They both seem to be "touchers" that show their love by a look, a caress, a hug, a pecking kiss, a wink, etc. Sometimes its like they are in their own safe cocoon world where nobody can touch them. They are a tremendously high powered Hollywood major player couple. May God continue to bless my Brangies. not to be mean bc I don't care for JA one way or another, especially when Friends ended...but, JA and Brad always looked like friends, not a "couple" you know? There are a lot of times whereby Brad would touch JA and she would have a pained look like "not now we are in public, please stop..." I hope JA gets her self together. She is a beautiful woman but, she does not belong on the Big Screen. She should stick to TV comedy. The more she trys the more pathetic she looks and sounds

Everybody wants to see the beauty in both newborn pictures and all the smiles and cuteness in updated pictures of the biolgical children of famous celebrities these days. Like Shiloh and the twins. And Suri Cruise. Sunday Rose her identity under wraps also. Sure the childrens parents are famous and beautiful but everybody wants to adore the children of these celebrities more because the chldren are far more beautiful then both there famous celeb parents.

Angelina makes me sick. Brad fell for her and I feel sorry for him.
He got a b*tch in bed (which might be good) but Angie is far from heaven. She is FAKE. She looks sexy, she is inteligent, she is a great communicator,she is envolved in great causes, she may be doing even more than our politics, BUT whatever she does is part of her plans to become, I don't know, a Nobel candidate (?).
She uses Brad, she knows how to make people's mind to get props for herself.
She is dirty. All she does is marketing.
Even Brad's behaviour as a MAN to Jennifer Aniston has Angelinas's influence. But he does not see it.
What she does might have a good impact to the people in the world for supporting the poor and sick but for a razon that is unveiled.
She is not TRUE at all. She is FAKE. She is full of Bullsh*t.

Could there ever be a bigger skank than Miss Angelina Jolie? Could there ever be a weaker male, whose stupidity is in such full scale? Could there ever be a more twisted bunch whose lives of others they always crunch? Could there ever have been a bigger scam just for the sake of a wham bam thank you mam? Could there ever have been so rapid a decline caused by a woman with no behind? Has there ever been a more foolish pair than these two who are losing their hair? Has there ever been a more implausible show caused by the nation's biggest Ho? Could there ever be a man so up a pole he traded unlimited hats and kids for all his soul? Have there ever been two so crude with all their faux and attitude? We hope and pray they'll go away but, no, they are back nearly everyday. With the ubiquitous photo-ops. up they pop! Then there's the child of the day and the charming pics of where Mommy shops so gay. Brad looks real bad; he's been had all because he wanted to be a Dad. And the Ho is still as sick, she's just gotten more slick. So she spins, she yarns, she plots, she plants, and Brad Pitt wonders where the Hell went his pants."

Did you have a point? Or is your position that you can "proclaim" and "rhyme" and that makes it true? There's a name for that: arrogant ignorance.

7:50 PM Yes, I went there! Says:

Brangie just hold on to each other and their love. It is great how they let all this haters spewing just roll off. They are true to themselves and don't require validation from anyone but themselves. You all can shred this to bits but, the fact remains what is...IS As Oprah said "Dare I see" so people come on now "DARE WE SEE?" One has to be dumb and blind not to see the glow this man has for Angelina and the kids.

6:59 PM truthsayer Says:

Brad Pitt looks awful... plain and simple... that's how it is. I have never seen anyone, famous or otherwise, age as fast as that man has. His looks used to make my heart go 'pitter patter', but not anymore. I just stare at his photos in amazement. He looks like he could be a bum down on skid row. Angelina hasn't aged much at all. Having kids must be as easy as falling off a log for her. I don't care how many kids they have, although I don't think reproducing and overcrowding the planet is a noble deed. It's because Americans are starstruck that we pay so much attention to what stars do. Why that is, I'm not sure.

I don't know why people care about your family either, Brad.

He looks great for his age. Shut up people who expect him to look 20 when he's 45. Idiots. He's incredibly attractive and always will be. And we all age. It's normal, hello?

I'm sick of all the hater freaks who blab on and on and on about their so-called expertise on child development or whatever they put forth in order to be seen as an "expert" at spewing their bile which comes out of their obviously envious obsession with Joile and Pitt! Shut up and go away! They look hot and you know it. Face it, they have way more interesting and privileged lives than you do, and you hate them for it. Says a lot about you but nothing about them.

The Jolie-Pitt foundation donating $100,000 to a worthy cause is making all the haters go to pieces.I wonder why,why would you be criticizing them when what they are doing is helping these children afflicted with HIV/AIDS diseases.Isn't that what good Christians should do, to help the needy especially now that Christmas is approaching.The hypocrisy of some of the posters here.You call yourself Christians but I doubt it.Shame on you!!!!!

I'm one of Brangelina's fans, Both of you are doing great with your charity works keep it up. You've shared all the blessings that you've received that's the reason why both of you have a good career and doing well in your profession. Hope you will be together for the rest of your life, God Bless to both of you and to your six children's!

Your so handsome Brad, hope you and Angelina will visit our country Philippines.

He is definitely not aging well.
People talk about his family because he and his partner have chosen to shove them down our throats at every opportunity. They've willingly turned the kids into celebrities themselves, talking about them constantly and putting their photos in magazines. It's a shame, the kids will never have any privacy.

4:29 your right. Brad is not aging well. It's a shame cause men usually get better with age. He's looking real tired.

If the haters really can't stand Brad & Angelina then why don't you just ignore them?

EXACTLY.
But the haters are compelled to comment. They must be so angry - LOL! It's hard for haters to see beautiful people who are happy and getting attention in the world for being generous while leading glamorous lives. Envy makes people so sick!

Why do you think the government should pay for your little cost ineffective pink-green houses, Pitt, especially when Larry just got done explaining to you that we are in a recession? I knew you would eventually turn to the taxpayers for a bailout of your poor business model, and you proved me right. Just what we are in the mood for, more bailouts. You have the economic judgment of a 7-year-old. Why don't you retire already?

So who DO you want to spend the next 40 years with, Pitt?

6:53 PM Be real!! Says:

The jolie-pitts live their life and we all watch it and criticize. I think it's hilarious because Brad is right. They are an interesting bunch, and right or wrong people do care or they wouldn't generate so many posts.

Let's be real people. We are slightly interested good or bad.
