Brad Pitt has said that having children has made him feel like "the richest man alive" and that he cares about them more than he cares about himself.

Speaking to Psychologies magazine, he said: "You learn to value the basic beauty of family, of watching your children grow and evolve."

He continued: "It's the most beautiful thing you can experience. I feel like the richest man alive since I've become a father.

"I see my children as an essential part of my life, and it means so much to be able to educate them and help them make their way in the world as they grow up. I love being a father and all the responsibilities that entails."

The father-of-six added: "I worry about them all the time. That's the emotional bond and responsibility that sweeps over you when you have a family to look after. I care about them more than I care about myself, which I think is the real definition of love.

"You see past yourself and become more generous and giving, and wanting only the best for your family."
