"I really believe it’s how you personally feel. You just want to feel that you’ve given it your best at the end of the day. But at the same time, we all have our jobs and we all want to be really good at it."

Brad’s career may have risen steadily, but if his four children are considering following in their dad’s footsteps, they may have to wait a while if he has his way.

"It all remains to be seen but I would definitely recommend a post-18 maturity before they got into this thing, because it can be very unsettling," he said.

Brad pulls out of political film - Nov 23 2007
Brad Pitt has apparently pulled out of filming his latest movie State Of Play.

The heartthrob actor, 43, chose to walk away from the political thriller because of script concerns, says Hollywood Reporter.

The script cannot be worked on because of the writers’ strike.

The trade mag reports that a spokesman for Universal confirmed the star was no longer attached to the project, saying in a statement: "Brad Pitt has left the Universal Pictures production of State Of Play. We remain committed to this project and to the filmmakers, cast members, crew and others who are also involved in making the movie."

The film already boasts a stellar cast including Brad’s Fight Club co-star Edward Norton, Dame Helen Mirren and Jason Bateman.

However, movie bosses now need to find a replacement for Brad, who was to play a political journalist who investigates a murder that involves a politician and his former employer (Edward).

State Of Play - to be directed by The Last King Of Scotland filmmaker Kevin Macdonald - is based on a British TV mini-series.

Fifth child for Brangelina? - Nov 21 2007
Brad Pitt has apparently hinted that he and partner Angelina Jolie might be getting ready to expand their brood.

The heartthrob actor revealed that he’d built a nine-foot bed for the couple and their four kids, reports the Daily Mirror.

And when asked if he’d need to make the bed even bigger for a fifth child, he told Skymag: "Probably pretty soon!"

Brad and Angelina are already parents to three adopted children - Maddox, six, Pax, three, and two-year-old Zahara - and have a biological child, Shiloh, one.

Angelina recently admitted the couple plan to have more children.

"I know I’m not even halfway there, it’s terrible!" the star told Extra at the Hollywood premiere of her new film Beowulf. "I’m working on it."

When asked if that meant a biological child or an adopted one, she said: "Both. We got time. We’ll do both."

Brad to play boxer? - Sept 21 2007
Brad Pitt is reportedly being lined up to star in a new film about boxing.

The 43-year-old actor is said to be in talks to feature in The Fighter, after Matt Damon reportedly had to bow out because of scheduling conflicts.

According to E! Online, the actor will star alongside Mark Wahlberg in the film, which is based around the life of the famous Irish-American boxer Mickey Ward.

Brad is apparently set to take the role of Dickie Ecklund, Ward’s older sibling and a promising fighter who ended up in prison before reaching his full potential.

Darren Aronofsky will direct and 8 Mile writer Scott Silver is penning the script.

Prior to his appearance in The Fighter, Mark will be seen in M Night Shyamalan’s next chiller, The Happening, which is slated for a June release.

Brad, who recently teamed up with his Fight Club buddy Edward Norton in the political thriller State Of Play, will next be seen in The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.
