Venice, Italy - US-actor Brad Pitt, 43, surprised his fans at the Venice Film Festival with a declaration, Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported Monday. "We are ready for a fifth child," Pitt said.
Their four children keep him and his partner Angelina Jolie, 32, on the go, so much so that they barely get enough sleep.
But Pitt said, "I believe in my family."
While he was presenting his new film, the Western The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, by director Andrew Dominik, Jolie went out to eat ice cream with the children.
The couple adopted three of their four children from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.
