Brad Pitt: "I Don't Know" Why People Care About My Family

Finally, Brad Pitt admits it isn't easy being a father of six.

"It wears you out. Are you kidding?" the 44-year-old actor said in an interview on Larry King Live on Wednesday. "I'm aging fast."

Still, he added, "It's worth every second of it." When King told him there's nothing better than being a father, Pitt replied, "Not for me there's not. No, not for me. I would agree with that."

Does Pitt want more kids?

"I don't know" he said. "I can't find a reason why not -- just yet."

(Incidentally, he said his children are "healthy, so we're all happy. They are getting heavy.")

This year, he said they're hoping to keep things multicultural with regards to the holidays.

"We're working on it. We're still working on it," he told King. "You know, we tried a little something last year, but the kids are so young, it just didn't mean much, really. But we're getting there.

"You know, as they get older, they'll start to understand more," Pitt added. "Right now, it's still presents, you know."

Asked why the public seems fascinated by the Jolie-Pitt clan, the actor said, "I've stopped thinking about it, really. I mean, I don't know.

"There are certainly people I'm interested in. It's quite complimentary," he said. "But, you know -- and I think it is an interesting family. It's not your usual family."

Count how many times Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie appeared on the cover of Us Weekly last year.

The star also opened up about his buzzed-about new drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is already generating Oscar buzz.

The film's theme about aging "certainly makes me conscious of how much time do I have left," Pitt told King. "Do I -- you know, is this my day? Do I have 40 years left? What do I want to do in that time? How do I want to use it? And who do I want to spend it with?

"And I don't know," he continued. "Me, man, it makes me -- this film just makes me want to hug my kids and call my folks. And it's really special. And I'm not a salesman. I find this one quite authentic and something really special."
