Recently, Brad Pitt promoted his new film “Inglourious Basterds” during the Cannes Film Festival. At that time, the 45-year-old heartthrob admitted that he had to take care of his six children because girlfriend Angelina Jolie was filming her movie “Salt” in New York City. “Angie’s been working, and I’ve got to be home a lot with the kids. Let me be the cliche — it’s really rewarding,” he previously testified.
