Brad Pitt Sings and Dances with Kids
Brad Pitt talks to Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer about his family life with Angelina Jolie and reveals: it’s more musical than you may expect.
He tells Sawyer that the family’s morning ritual (which begins as early as 5:45!) often consists of singing. “‘There’s Wheels on the Bus’ and there’s, you know, ‘Five Monkeys Jumping on a Bed’ — no more monkeys jumping on the bed.” Singing the last line of the song he jokes, “that’s a big one….that started at about 6:15 this morning.”
Another Brangelina clan favorite? Dancing. Pitt laughs, “We hope they’re not soaking up our moves because they’d be seriously lacking in their future. We’ll get them some proper training. But yeah, there’s a lot of dancing around the house, a lot of music time.”
At bedtime, Pitt shares quieter rituals with kids Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1, something he learned to value as a child himself.
“The three of us siblings, we’d jump in our beds, separate rooms, and we’d all be yelling for her [his mom], because she’d take turns coming from room to room, right? And we’d just talk for hours sometimes. Just talk,” he said in a 1997 interview with Sawyer, which she replayed for him.
He explains, “It is a really special time, a time I value and it’s that one-on-one time where you really ask the questions and — and I want to make sure they have that.”
Of course, in addition to raising a family, there’s that little matter of Brad Pitt, international film star. The 43-year-old actor is already earning praise for his role as Jesse James in the new drama The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. How does he manage to do it all?
“Somehow you find this endless well of energy– you just keep going,” he tells Sawyer. “And it’s worth it.”
