Brad Pitt shares his six kids, Vivienne, Knox, Shiloh, Zahara, Pax, and Maddox, with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. When the reporters asked him if he had any advice for them, he said that such a conversation would be had when they turn 18.
The 56-year-old also spoke further about his children going into the acting profession. He said:
"Listen, I want them to follow their bliss, follow their passions, whatever they're most interested in. It's about guiding as you can, but they get to try everything on and try what their passion is. So, sure, why not?"
The pressmen also quizzed Brad Pitt on how he was going to celebrate his big Oscar with his kids, and he answered, saying, "Don't know yet! We'll see."
While receiving his award, Brad Pitt took time out to thank Quentin Tarantino, Leonardo DiCaprio, and his co-stars and crew from the movie, "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood."
