Brad Pitt has evolved from “Sexiest Man Alive” to “World’s Greatest Dad,” said Kenneth Miller in USA Weekend. At 47, he leads a highly unusual family life, raising six kids, ages 2 to 9, with Angelina Jolie. It’s an experience that’s won him some hard-earned maturity. “Kids hold up a mirror to you,” he says. “You can’t make excuses.”
The family splits time between movie sets and homes in Los Angeles and southern France. “We’re pretty nomadic,” he says. “We go where the crops are.” As glamorous as it all seems, Pitt admits that fears for his kids’ safety sometimes keep him up at night. “We’re hunted. Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside there are people with cameras. But I’ll take the trade-off. I never knew I was capable of such love.”
