Pitt: 'I want more kids'
Updated on 27 August 2008
Heart-throb Brad Pitt has indicated that he would add to his family of six children with a couple more.
Pitt was speaking on the opening day of the Venice Film Festival, in which his new film Burn After Reading is showing out of the competition.
He stars alongside George Clooney, John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton.
Pitt was asked if he was planning to add to his brood and replied, apparently jokingly, that he would have "two more by next year".
Clooney was also asked if he planned to marry and settle down.
He joked: "That's honestly the first time I've ever been asked that question.
"I'm getting married and having children today."
When father of newborn twins Pitt was asked how the babies were, Clooney replied: "The twins are fine."
This year sees the event dominated by European films following the US writers' strike.
But Hollywood glamour will add to proceedings, with the premiere of Burn After Reading, the latest offering from Joel and Ethan Coen.
It sees a CIA analyst named Osborne Cox attend a top-secret meeting, only to find the secret is he is being ousted.
His wife Katie is having an affair with a married federal marshal named Harry Pfarrer and she sets about making plans to leave her husband for him.
Pitt plays Chad Feldheimer, who accidentally obtains material for Cox's memoirs on a computer disc and is intent on trying to exploit the find.
The 21 movies competing this year for the coveted Golden Lion include five films completely in the English language, all US productions.
They include The Hurt Locker, inspired by a journalist's experiences in Iraq, with Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce in the cast.
Other American films competing include The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke and The Burning Plain, a drama starring Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron.
Rachel Getting Married, starring Anne Hathaway, also competes, as does Vegas: Based on a True Story, centred on the life of a compulsive gambler.
A film which sees Natalie Portman make her directorial debut is also being screened during the festival.
