Brad Pitt has revealed he and partner Angelina Jolie sold the first photographs of their baby twins to a news outlet to ensure the paparazzi didn’t profit from snaps of the newborns.
The Hollywood couple welcomed Vivienne and Knox in 2008, and subsequently sold the rights to the first photos of the babies for a reported $14 million.
Pitt admits the couple simply wanted to remain in control of the way their newborns were introduced to the public.
“It’s a very strange thing to be selling photos of something that’s very intimate and personal,” he said. “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 (the paparazzi) go to to get that shot. 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.”
Pitt recently admitted his kids are keen for their parents to tie the knot.
“The kids are putting on the heat. They really are,” he said.
