Brad Pitt: fatherhood is great but also a pain in the ass

Brad Pitt has said he loves being a dad but it’s also a “pain in the ass”.

Speaking at the Venice Film Festival yesterday about fatherhood and having four children under five years old, he said: “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had.

“It’s also the biggest pain in the ass I’ve ever experienced. I love it and can’t recommend it more highly although sleep is non-existent.”

He added though that having to combine raising a family and pursuing his career is a careful juggling act: “It makes me much more efficient because when I work I really have to focus.”

“I know I’ve less time to get things done. Actually, I’m quite pleased by it.”
