Brad has had a major shift in attitude over the past year. He says having children is the best thing ever because it changes your perspective of the world. Brad was just in New Orleans helping with Global Green, an effort for affordable, eco-friendly housing. He said he is still devastated by what he saw.

Brad also said this about having children:
"completely changes your perspective and certainly takes the focus off yourself, which I'm really grateful for." Chuckling, he added: "I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm sick of myself."
Of parenting, he said, "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."
And of Shiloh, he revealed, "Man, if I can get a burp out of that little thing I feel such a sense of accomplishment."
Funny how I can actually totally relate to the burping thing now. Congrats to Brad for growing up and expanding his horizons to help others.
i must admit, i love that he did this.
1Aww I love the comment about Shiloh... I can't wait to see more pictures of the little tyke!
2It's sad he couldnt realize he could have done that without having to have children to make him realize he could.
3he's just managed to make himself even more sexy and appealing to women....damn! i didn't think that was possible....what a hunky, sexy, sincere, loving daddy! those kids and angi are soooo lucky!
4I'm sick of him too. I respect him for his new found humanitarianism but don't like the choice of words regarding Shiloh..."that little thing." I guess I'll cut him a break though since he is doing good deeds.
5good for him. ^_^
6Aww, my favorite DILF. Brad is so sexy and I'm really glad he's helping the less fortunate here at home as well as overseas. I bet Shiloh has him wrapped around her little finger. It's good to see there's more to Brad than some blonde, handsome, shallow guy. It seems fatherhood really helped him grow up and now he's even sexier.
7((BURP!!) mission accomplished daddy! now back off beotches, daddy's taken!!
8he still cheated on his wife
9LOL, Shiloh and cari907, him and Jen were separated before he hooked up with Angie according to details and even if he did he's moved on so has she.
10I am sick of him too! Ditto cari907!!!
11does anyone know anything about Global Green? it sounds awesome...does it have a website or anything?
12Its amazing how people dont make a big deal out of what Brad did but when it comes to Jessica Simpson's failed marriage people are all over her....lets see which situation is there ACTUAL proof of cheating? BRAD! I still think hes an okay actor and he is hot but I still dont approve of what he did.
13Brad looks fabulous here. I think he's made a major shift in his priorities so good for him. How can you knock him for wanting to help others?
14nobody's perfect. he may have cheated on his wife but he's doing good things now!
15Bluejeanie, since I'm the San Franciscan here you know I know about all things humanitarian. Here's there website:
http://www.globalgreen.org/
16Caligirl, he is also my fav DILF
17He's The Biggest Pimp Player Ever! LOL
18hahaha cari! im happy for him he sounds like a proud daddy! that is what all dad's should sound like.
19I just love a man who's in love with being a father.
20WHat he says is so true. I could build a huge full scale operable sky scraper out of Q-tips and I would be more excited at that fact that i can get my daughter to laugh or fall asleep
I was really sick of him too but with comments like these he could stay around for another week or two
21Reeree, love your gravatar. That was one of my fav pics from "People". He looked so contented and so did Shiloh.
22I love him and the fact he also refers to Zhara and Mad as his children!! and Blah to Jen Aniston never liked her in the first place
23ughhhhh.....I CANT STAND BRAD PITT!!!! HE CHEATED!! people that are well known like him are like role models to the younger and for him to go and cheat on jen like that was sooooo wrong!! sure hes done good for the less fortunate but COME ON!!!!
24To the people that keep saying Brad cheated, you have no clea evidence that that's what happened and this article is about his humanitarian work. Maybe Brad got tired of being fake happy leading Chinniston around to all of those premieres and decided that he wanted more to his life. He has a gorgeous new family and he's a brand new daddy. Chinniston is happy with Shrek, so her fans should move on too.
25No evidence? Where have you been? Thats ridiculous! Im happy for him that he is a daddy and all I just dont approve and never will aprove of what he did. I think its great he is doing some good deeds now, all the power to him.
26martin luther king jr also cheated on his wife. lots of times. i'm not at all equating him and brad pitt, but i *am* making a point.
i honestly don't think what he did makes him a bad person. i just think he fell in love w/ someone else. to me that's a lot different than if he was just effing everything in his path, like that eric benet dude.
27Brad had made it clear he wanted to settle down and have kids, but Jen wanted to be an A-list actress more so they drifted apart. He started filming a movie and fell in love with Angie and Mad during the filming. His priorities changed and he did the right thing by getting a divorce and deciding he wanted to be happy. It wasn't like he was just out there sleeping with anything that moved.
28So basically caligirl201 your saying it was okay for him to cheat? He could have had atleast waited till the divorce was final before being with Angie, thats all Im saying.
29Thanks caligirl. I fell in love with this pic as soon as I saw it.
30No musicluvr, I just think he wasn't expecting to fall in love when he started the movie and then when he fell in love with Angie he could no longer continue being with Jen. Lots of other men in Hollywood have or would have stayed married and saw Angie on the side.
31Cheating arguements aside, if 'his' kids really are his priority now, why is he off already working on more films & involving their mother too? He says he wanted a family for so long, would it really hurt to take a break & enjoy them? It's not like he needs the money!
32watched this and loved it. i don't think you can surround yourself with people who tell you how fabulous you are 24/7 (like most actors) and be grounded. cleaning dirty diapers and staying up all night with a screaming child AND loving it changes a LOT. he has what he has long wanted and i'm happy for him.
33in the real world, once you are legally seperated, there is nothing wrong with going public with a new romance. IF I ever become seperated, I am going to do what I want, I personally dont care if there is a "formal" waiting period. Life is too short, I could die tomorrow. Brad is FAR from the first or last popular actor to have his marriage not work out. He is human, get over it already. A lot of men cheat ( meanwhile we have no proof) that does not mean they must walk around the rest of thier lives with a label.
Lets list all the famous men that have ever cheated once or "mentally cheated" - oh wait, we would be listing half the population.
GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
34so people can't work and be good parents? he's had 2 months off which is 7 weeks longer than most dads take, both those who can afford it and those who can't. i'm sure his family will be close by.
35mar, ::applause::
36EP and Mar I agree. Brad did not attend Cannes, which is very important for actors now, so that he could be there when Shi was born. He spends alot of time with both Z and Mad and treats them like his natural kids. He already took alot of time off and his new efforts are mainly to help people and the world because the world is in dire straights now and he knows he can use his celebrity to do so. I don't see Chiniston or Shrek volunteering to help one single person and they've had months and months off.
37true caligirl
38cali, and no children to tend to either. i'm sure budokon yoga and attending baseball games don't count for doing good.
39EP, you forgot VV eating deep dish and slugging back beers. You'd think with the celeb humanitarian kick they'd at least appear to be helping someone.
40Brad not going to Cannes was a big deal, thanks for bringing that up. ANY actor with a great movie is going to promote in Cannes, but Brad is not yearning for the A list spotlight anymore, he is content with being "daddy" over that rush that you know these actors get when they go to Cannes and everyone is screaming thier name and freaking out. That is a great point, Jen is still chasing that dream, Brad has already been there, done that, that is why they are on different paths, he is way more suited for AJ. The Pitt- Jolies' priorities are the same, where he and Jen did not share them. They had diffrent paths at the timre of the split,
41Gosh you guys sure are filled with hate. That's sad.....
42the bitter people on here need to let the brad-jen break up go. 1) it wasn't YOUR divorce and 2) even if it was yours, you should have moved on. get over it. yeah, it's really petty that every bamzs or vaughniston post goes to this b.s. all the time. everyone, myself included, facilitates this. it's getting really boring actually. can we all agree to move on or is this going to continue indefinitely?
43Agree men cheat get over it!
44Brad is tired of thinking about himself - he is sick of himself.
You can read a lot into these comments. He unintentionally verbally illustrated what his life was like with Jennifer. They had a very superficial marriage, filled with superficial 'stuff' and 'eating plans' and 'beauty enhancers'and 'red carpet frills'.
Angelina,although kind of zany and unconventional, she was 'real', 'authentic' and had a life outside of spray tanning, the Zone, and etc...
GOOD FOR HIM! I must say, at least he was smart enough NOT to have kids with Jen. So many couples rush into children, and then get divorced. ALthough I don't think it will last, I DO hope his marriage with Ang is kind of like Johnny Cash and his second wife: soul mates!
45I saw this morning's interview and I'm so impressed by what Brad is trying to do in NOLA. Because of his celebrity he was able to get CNN (this past weekend) and The Today Show to actually talk about NOLA again and about how local and federal governments have failed that great city and its people. I was also happy to see how overjoyed he is about fatherhood. The man is clearly happy with his life and could barely contain himself when talking about his family. I wish him all the best.
46oh Shelby, that was a great post. Hollywood is a very shallow, materialistic place, where unfortunatly personal trainers, highlights and dieting is an everyday thing for most stars. I think Brad now sees that he was ready to get out of that everyday routine, and do something more meaninful. He had to live that life for a while to get sick of it, which is what seems to have happened. I am not saying he is shunning the spotlight anymore, he should not, he should keep using his celebrity for things like New Orleans, or world poverty.
47Nice to see someone who once viewed himself as being self absorbed (sometimes money'll do that) get brought back down to reality and feel that real grounded feeling again. Knowing that family is the most important of ALL is good knowledge to have. I'm liking this dude more and more every day. Too bad all people with money to burn don't help out others the way him and wifey do* Not that everyone with money HAS to help, but it's nice to see when they DO.......brings everybody closer aight that's as mushy as i'm gettin'*
48He's doing a good thing, but I hate how he called his daughter a "little thing".
49Wynter, she is a little thing. I think it's cute.
