Brad
Pitt Says Fatherhood Is
Sublime
Brad
Pitt
says fatherhood is
"absolutely
sublime".
The
actor, whose baby
daughter with Angelina
Jolie is a month old,
has also co-adopted her
first two children,
Cambodian Maddox and
little Zahara, from
Ethiopia.
He
told Newsweek magazine
being a father had made
him more of an activist
on issues such as child
poverty.
"Whether
you have them or adopt
them, they're all
blood," Pitt said of his
brood. "And the funniest
people I've ever
met.
The
42-year-old added: "I
look at Zahara and
imagine what her life
could have been. You
want to grab as many of
these kids in your arms
as you can. They need
our help, and we should
be doing
more."
Brad
Pitt, who was named one
of 15 people who "make
America great" by
Newsweek, also spoke
about his and Jolie's
decision to sell the
first pictures of baby
Shiloh to People
magazine for a reported
four million dollars and
give the money to
charity.
"Knowing
that someone was going
to hound us for that
first photo - and was
going to profit
immensely for doing it -
I just couldn't live
with it," he
said.
"We
were able to turn that
around and collect
millions for people who
are really going to need
it."
