Brad Pitt wants another six children

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt has announced he wants another six children - in the next year alone.

In an interview with British newspaper the Daily Mail, Pitt said: "I'm not joking around. I have three kids now and next year I'll have six. Nine. We're looking for a soccer team. I want to compete in the next World Cup."

The 42-year-old actor became a first-time father when actress Angelina Jolie gave birth to his daughter, Shiloh Nouvelle, in May this year.

Pitt legally adopted Jolie's two children, five-year-old Maddox and 14-month-old Zahara in January this year, just five months after divorcing his wife of four years, Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

The Fight Club star clearly has soccer on his mind. The comment came just days after reports surfaced that the couple had hired English soccer star David Beckham to privately coach young Maddox.
