看來，好萊塢影星布拉德·皮特的“最佳星爸”果然名不虛傳。日前，皮特在接受美國全國廣播公司《今日》訪談節目采訪時表示：擁有孩子，成為幾個孩子的父親讓他體會到了真正的快樂。孩子們徹底改變了他的生活觀，從此，他不再只考慮自己，這種改變讓他感到很欣慰。皮特和女友安吉麗娜·茱麗現在是三個孩子的父母，他們領養了一雙兒女，并在最近又添了兩人的愛情結晶——女兒辛洛·諾維爾。 |

Brad Pitt says being a father has changed his priorities. "Man, I got
kids now," the 42-year-old actor said in an interview that aired Monday on
NBC's "Today" show. "It completely changes your perspective. And certainly
takes the focus off yourself, which I'm really grateful for."
Pitt is working with Global Green USA, a national environmental
organization, on a competition to choose ecologically sound designs for
rebuilding neighborhoods in post-Katrina New Orleans. Last week, he got
his first up-close look at the devastation that remains almost a year
later.
"I've had my day," Pitt said. "I made some films and I've really had a
very fortunate life. And it's time for me to share that a bit."
Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie, have three children, 6-week-old
Shiloh, 18-month-old Zahara and 4-year-old Maddox. Jolie, 31, has traveled
the globe as a UN goodwill
ambassador.
"I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm kinda sick of myself," said Pitt, who was
nominated for an Oscar for his role in 1995's "Twelve Monkeys." His screen
credits also include "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" with Jolie, "Legends of the
Fall" and the upcoming "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward
Robert Ford."
He said being a parent is "a true joy."
"Best thing I ever did," he said. "You know, you can write a book, you
can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is
really the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on."
"And, man, if I can get a burp out of that
(baby), that little thing," said Pitt,
referring to daughter Shiloh, "I'll feel such a sense of accomplishment."
