Angelina & I wanted 12 kids: Brad Pitt

LONDON: Hollywood star Brad Pitt says he and his wife Angelina Jolie were keen to have 12 children together but stopped at six because their family life is already chaotic.

The couple already have their hands tied up with their busy careers and caring for their kids Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, but the hunk has admitted they were initially planning to add another six little ones to their brood, reported Female First.

"Listen, Angie and I were aiming for a dozen [children], but we crapped out after six."

It may be just as well as the 51-year-old actor has revealed their family life can be "total chaos" at times.

He explained, "It's a lot of love, a lot of fighting, a lot of refereeing; a lot of teeth-brushing and spilling... Chaos, total chaos. But so much fun."
