Brad Pitt has revealed that it was "strange" to sell pictures of his twins Knox and Vivienne to certain publications when they were born.
The actor opened up about the reason behind the decision to sell the photographs of his children with partner Angelina Jolie.
"I know some of these guys who are in that 'stalkerazzi' world, and you really have to separate them from the paparazzi in our industry," Pitt told NPR. "That's another breed. They have their heroes who got the big, scandalous shot, which just promotes more of that."
He continued: "It's a very strange thing to be selling photos of something that's very intimate and personal. And those of which you want to protect. We have to plan an escape every day just to get out of the house - kind of a Mission Impossible with decoys, and that's the life we live in, and that's the one we asked for.
"But we knew there was a bounty on our head... and we know the lengths they go to to get that shot," Pitt said. "So we figured, 'Let's cut it off in the beginning', and instead of that money going to people I do not respect, we would make some good out of it."
The pictures which were sold to Hello and People reportedly fetched around $14 million which the couple gave to charity.
