Brad Pitt gushes about life-changing fatherhood

Brad Pitt has revealed that his life - and his attitude towards it - has changed completely since he became a father.

Brad adopted Angelina Jolie’s children Maddox and Zahara earlier this year and then the couple welcomed second daughter Shiloh into the world in May.

Speaking on the Today show during a trip to New Orleans, Brad said: “[Becoming a father] really changes your perspective on the world.”

“You know, I’ve had my day, I made some films and I’ve really had a very fortunate life, and it’s time for me to share that a little bit.”

He added that having children “takes the focus off yourself, which I’m really grateful for. I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m sick of myself.”

“You feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything.”

“It’s a true joy (and) a very profound love. You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever taken on.”
