Brad Pitt has revealed that his children with actress Angelina Jolie still have no idea what their parents do for a living.

The Hollywood stars have said that their six kids, who are all under the age of seven, take the paparazzi for granted because it is normal to them.

Pitt told The Times: "It’s not strange to them that their parents will come on television.

"And it’s not strange for them to walk outside and for there to be a photographer. They just think if there is printed material hanging around, their parents might be on the cover. So we’re still trying to negotiate how we explain to them what we do."

The 45-year-old actor, who stars in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds', has insisted that he and Jolie do a "pretty good" job at protecting their children from the media frenzy by "carving out time for the family".

He added: "The media frenzy kind of goes on without us. It’s self-generating. When I was younger, I would take it personally - it was such an injustice to me.

"As a man or as a woman I don’t know how they could sit there and do it. I mean, the stories are consciously fabricated."

'Inglourious Basterds' opens in Irish cinemas on 19 August.
