Hollywood new dad Brad Pitt is thrilled with his new life and insists having children is the best thing he has ever done. The star, who is father to three children with partner Angelina Jolie - Maddox, four, Zahara, one and six-week-old daughter Shiloh Nouvel - credits his children with completely changing his attitude towards life.

The 42-year-old actor tells morning show “Today,” "It really changes your perspective on the world. You know, I've had my day. I made some films, and I've really had a very fortunate life, and it's time for me to share that a little bit."

He said having children "takes the focus off yourself, which I'm really grateful for. I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm sick of myself."

The star is excited by his new role as a parent saying, "You feel you want to be there and not miss out on anything. It's a true joy (and) a very profound love. You can write a book, you can make a movie, you can paint a painting, but having kids is the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on."
