“It completely changes your perspective. And certainly takes the focus off yourself, which I’m really grateful for. I’m really grateful to them. I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m kinda sick of myself. I can’t do justice to it anymore than any other parent can. You feel that you want to be there and you don’t want to miss out on anything. And it’s a true joy. And you want to be there for them if they need anything. It’s a true joy.”
– Brad Pitt on the ‘Today’ show today reveals how the “profound” love he gets from being a parent has changed him.

at least some Hollywood Parents believe that once you have kids, it’s NOT ABOUT YOU ANYMORE.
Oh, Brad……love you!
Brad may be sick of thinking aobut himself, but not as sick as we are of hearing about him. And it’s always so wonderful to know that people have kids to make them think of themselves less, instead of having kids to give life to new human beings. God his ego is just huge!
Jeez he used to look like a young Robert Redford, now he looks like old Redford. Except Redford can act!
He looks good with the ‘old man grizzle’ beard. LOL
He looks beat down. Angie must have him on a very tight leash.
George Clooney has like 10 years on him and looks younger. Clooney is HOT!
Yeah, all those adopted babies and Angelina’s stratospheric coochie seem to be aging him quite a bit.
Let’s see, his beard is grey, that means his pubes are grey and that his head is grey underneath the dye job. What a man!
TMI ppl! pubes & coochie-ICK! Mabye this is what he truly looks like, underneath all the Hollywood fakery.
i don’t see it as him having a huge ego as creep said. what he said is pretty much what any parent says. so i guess all parents have huge egos?
Yeahso? I think everyone has a huge ego but when you have kids it deflates somewhat and you’re more concerned with them than yourself.
I wonder if Brad and Billy Bob ever talk????
Aw, cutenes the gushing talk is sweet and yes this is what he looks like seeing as he is in his forties, he has learnt to accept the way he looks and I think thats down to Angie, he’s just more ‘himself’ whatever that means.
You people do get that he’s 42, right? You usually have gray hair by then. Whatever, I love Brad and the way he talks about his family. You can really tell this is the life he’s wanted to live.
Hah, he’s sick of himself? That’s great, because we’re sick of him too.
I think he is kind of realising that fame isn’t for him….I guess that could happen when you become a father. I think he seems like a real genuine guy and those kids are very lucky to have him for a father, and Ange for a mother too.
If he is so sick of him self why does he only talk about himself. Example I’m really grateful, I’m so tired of thinking about myself. I’m kinda sick of myself. I can’t do justice to it. Notice how many times he talks abouts himself in a couple of sentences. He also said the exact same thing last year at this time while he was promoting Babel.
Also Brad hasn’t changed a thing for his children. He still works all the time, doesn’t give them a stable home, takes them through hordes of media. It’s still all about him and his image. Maybe he should take some lessons from Johnny Depp about how to raise kids and be famous.
MikeC, they do, BillyBob was just in Vegas a couple weeks ago for his birthday, and he said he still talks to ange, and brad’s a “real cool dude”
I think he looks great! hotbitch is right the man is over 40 and seemingly had no work done (and i believe clooney has)
my2cents have you seen pics of george lately? he’s not looking too hot!
sheesh, some of you just look for the negative in EVERYTHING, see negative EVERYWHERE :O(
SAS :OD
^^Say it ain’t so. Not my Georgie. He will always be fine to me
Matt Damon too! Can’t forget about him.
ok lolly already posted… but i was going to say some people can turn a harmless quote into something negative. why?
granted he has lots of help, but kids are kids. 
as a parent, i commend anyone who thinks having kids is ‘a true joy’ because it isn’t always!
i still don’t think he’s good looking and never
did
J.Lo has gray hair, as do many others. I started graying in my late 20’s- shit happens, then you dye your hair.
My2cents, I checked on that because you made me curious about their age difference. It turns out your boy Clooney was born in 1961 and Brad was born in 1963. Not quite ten years I guess but I think two totally different styles. George is the suave type like a Cary Grant I think, where Brad is more like the clueless beach boy type, actually I never really found him all that so I think George wins this one. Oh and Matt Damon rocks too.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that man!!
More powerful than all your jealous hate, peeps.
He still has something youthful about him… Can’t place it though!
All that botox no longer working?
It’s amazing how one man can be scrutinized so completely…. the man loves his kids.. that’s all that quote was about.. now anyone that wants to disect this quote into some subliminal meaning of “look at me, me, me, me!!!” either has some serious jealousy issues to contend with or just hates Brad or Brangelina so much, nothing they ever do will be right.. I’m thinking the latter b/c some of the negative comments are SSSSTTTTTRRRRREEEEETTTTTCCCCCHHHHHIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
a home that treats them with dignity, with respect, that is conscious of their quality of life (BRAD pITT)
brad hows your conscience after cheating on your wife! where was your RESPECT!
BRAD PITT YOU ARE AN IDIOT
