With six kids, the Jolie-Pitt household is already big enough for an average American family size. Per Pew Research, most Americans ideally just want two children. But for Brad Pitt, he would at least like a dozen kids.
The actor revealed his desire for having a large family in an interview with Telegraph. He understands all the disorder that goes with having many kids and already experiences this with his brood of six with wife, Angelina Jolie. "A lot of love, a lot of fighting, a lot of refereeing; a lot of teeth-brushing and spilling...Chaos, total chaos. But so much fun," he said in the interview.
Brad, 51, describes finding love "in the faces of his children" -- adopted kids Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, and Zahara, 10, and biological kids Shiloh, nine, and twins Knox and Vivienne, seven. "The Big Short" star admitted, however, that he and his wife are giving up after having six kids.
The actor enforces discipline with his boys, but says he's different with his girls who "do no wrong" in his eyes. "I feel like my job is to show 'em around, help them find what they want to do with their life, put as many things in front of them, and pull them back when they get out of line, so they know who they are," he said.
There have been talks that the Jolie-Pitt kids have an abnormal upbringing considering their parents' careers and lifestyle. As previously reported on Parent Herald, a nanny allegedly revealed details to Angelina's unusual parenting style. The kids supposedly have no friends aside from each other and they practice no particular faith.
Brad concedes that this is indeed a problem when their careers have them moving from country to country doing their film projects. The Hollywood parents usually bring their kids with them. "The downside is friends, sleepovers, team sports - these have been the challenges that we've had to work out. We do those things, but we really have to go out of our way."
The actor also admitted to giving up on his Baptist upbringing, but stresses on having integrity to his children, per People. It's something he learned from his own parents, particularly his father. "One thing my folks always stressed was being capable, doing things for yourself. He was really big on integrity -- and that informed a lot of what [we] try to do now."
