ShareLondon: LONDON: They are the super couple of Hollywood but when it comes to exchanging gifts at Christmas, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt go for home-made gifts rather than big or expensive ones.
Actor Brad Pitt, who is raising six children with partner Angelina Jolie, has revealed that when it comes to gifts his family exchange home-made gifts instead of big gifts.
"We do exchange gifts, although we don't feel any pressure to make them big or expensive gifts," Pitt told 'Hello' magazine.
The couple have twins Vivienne and Knox, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
The actor also makes sure that the children do not watch much American cartoon television, which he believes is packed with "manipulative" advertisements.
"The kids don't ask for big gifts for the reason that they don't see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic.
"When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don't see them they won't know they're there," Pitt said.
"So we have gifts, but we try to keep the money spent to a minimum. The rule is that everyone's got to make something for someone else, you got to put time into it," Pitt said.
Pitt said his children have embraced the idea that they come from different countries.
"As they're getting older, we've been coming up with some idea for a ceremony for everyone around this time, but right now, it's still at the ideas stage."
