Brad Pitt; Raising six kids is hard
(BANG) -Brad Pitt admits looking after six children is tougher than starring in action movies.

The Hollywood heartthrob - who raises, Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with fiancee Angelina Jolie - gets a lot more bruises being hands-on father than he ever did doing the stunts for new film 'Killing Them Softly'.

He said: ''Does it ache? Sure. The knees have gone, the back is crunchy.

''Getting the kids ready for school is every bit as painful as anything I had to do in this film.''

Brad and Angelina are in the process of organizing their wedding but he admits best friend George Clooney won't be his best man because ''he doesn't believe in institutions''.

However, Brad has confessed they haven't set a date yet, even though the children are pressuring them to do it, and could tie the knot in the UK, after spending the summer in London.

He said: ''We are going to do it. We haven't set a date yet, though. We are getting a lot of pressure from our kids.

''We could do it in the UK. It has been such an amazing summer here, with all your events - the Jubilee and the Olympics. I've watched everything.''

    oh my god, who really cares, having kids is hard, thank you mr. pitt for letting us know that it is harder than starring in a movie where you are getting paid millions and paying someone else to look after your kids. honestly big wedding after that many kids - how many gifts are you really hoping to get, have something just for immediate family and get it over with, unless ofcourse you find the next mistress on an upcoming film, better stay unmarried, it will save you $$$

    I don't understand all these sour-grape attitudes. All parents complain. I don't have the impression that they leave EVERYTHING to the nannies. Nannies & hired help can't take away worries from the parents. In our household we grew up with nannies & my mother always worried abt us: our health, nutrition, education etc. Just cos they're rich & love kids & complain once in a while like all parents & yes they fell in love while he was married (to the wrong one obviously) does not deserve such sarcasm or contempt. They have done a lot more good than you might ever do if you had their wealth. Be fair.

    How they raise their kids is no ones business especially people that read these propaganda crap news. I read it because I thought Brad was going to add something at which us real parents that don't use any other means than our own sweat blood and tears to raise our kids in a real world environment but Brad had nothing to say, really nothing. Them getting married, woopy! Why? Who knows! Marriage is a contract agreement and has nothing to do with love. Instead of taking one's solemn oath verbally, for some reason putting it in ink somehow makes it 100% love. What a crock of lies. People buy into institutional money making scam only to find out later that the ink runs so easily off the paper and into another pocket, your lawyer and hers, child support, alimony, spouse credit card, among other idiotic bills and institutional fees. Marriage is for in my opinion an over priced, waste of money, waste of time. I believe if a couple can stand each other over a long period of time and make it last and actually know each other and know the love will sustain, then I say you have the right to marriage but these " we love each other so much even though it's been only a year and then get married and we have to get married because she is pregnant are just asking for a divorce and unwanted debt to get out of it. Save your money and experience true love by living it and not parade around like jerks as if the whole world stops for anyone on that occasion. Give it up and stay single. It's cheaper, no lawyers no fuss.

    If some of you paid attention to the story you're opining about, it mentions that it's the kids that are pressuring for the parents to get married. We all have a right to our opinions, even Brad and Angelina do. Reporters ask them and then publish what they said, it's not like they took and ad out to declare that raising kids is hard.

    They're just human. It's so easy to be critical and sarcastic, maybe a bit jealous that we don't have the same amount of money....

    they're human, they make mistakes, like we do too and for the children it's nice that there mom and dad are getting married.

    Congrats and may they stay happily married.

    I don`t think the number of kids matters it depends on the circumstance. I had a 3 yr. old and when I was 5 months pregnant my husband decided he wanted to leave. So he wasn`t there for the 2nd child`s birth and after time he stopped seeing them. Anyway my point is 6 kids with 2 parents and money isn`t any harder than anyone else with kids.

    Geez, can't you guys stop being jealous for once!



    Like read the story properly!



    What Brad said was looking after kids is hard work & working for movies seemed easier! Big deal!



    I know many of you that would rather have your kids go to daycare, than to be stuck with them all day & have even said that working a 9-5 job is easier, than taking care of kids.



    Give him credit. He could be just not even taking care of them, like a lot of other dead beat dads! Or moms, to that fact!



    p.s. I have been raised 6 kids & a blended family at that, for the last 12 yrs & it is hard work. I have 4 girls left in the house & also too, my knee's hurt & my back gives out sometimes too.



    But thats life. My best wishes are to the Pitt & Jolie Family!

    Just because people have money doesn't mean they choose to have other people raise their kids. Is that what you would do? I see nothing wrong with them having help especially since they both do a lot of work and have a very large family for these days. Do we see pictures of them leaving their kids for months on end while they go on cocaine benders across the world? No. Geeze people.

    No kidding eh?? Whether you have one or eight, having kids is hard, period!!! My dad has a total of 14 daughters and he never said a thing about it. He was a single father to six of us at one point! The first man to win custody of his SIX DAUGHTERS! Now if anything, I think that is something to write about! Not some over-hyped actor....

    Anybody who is that angry about marriage and thinks it is an institution is obviously the wall flower that never got picked LMAO!!! It takes a very special person to actually get a man to commit. They won't take any ditch pig... Sorry you never got picked Monika, but keep your bitterness to yourself. The lucky ones to find the true love don't care about the lonely ditch pig on the corner who cries because he isn't good enough or someone to commit THEIR entire being to... So dad =/

    Uhm, didn't the article say it was his:

    best friend George Clooney won't be his best man because ''he doesn't believe in institutions''.



    That means George Clooney doesn't believe in institutions, not Brad Pitt.

    Yea Brandy, don't know what MJ was ranting.No one says her dad's not worth writing about- she can write more about him- but like Monika said they were just answering the reporters' questions, not advertising. I don't feel Monika is bitter. It's more like MJ is very angry- for whatever reason.

    Thank you Brandy and ac! I'm not sure what MJ is smoking :P

    MJ, I was married for over 30 years until my husband died from a brain tumor in 2011. Where do I say anything bitter about marriage??

    Seriously, I'm happy for Brad, Angie and the children!

    I think you owe me an apology for the uncalled for nastiness!
