They have six children and filming commitments on different sides of the globe.

So it’s little wonder that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had to share child care, with Pitt looking after twins Vivienne and Knox in Boston, and Jolie taking care of the couple’s other children in Budapest.

But today, it seemed the family would be reunited with Pitt arriving at Budapest airport with the two-year-old twins in tow.

He had no problem carrying the toddlers who were both wearing thick winter hats to guard against the cold weather.

Pitt wore a flat black cap, black jacket and sunglasses as he took the twins to a waiting car en route to Jolie’s rented ten room mansion in the Hungarian capital.

Jolie has been staying in the plush pad with Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five and four-year-old Shiloh as she directs her first dramatic feature film – a Bosnian war love story.

Pitt, meanwhile, is taking a break from filming dramatic movie Moneyball in Boston.

Jolie is said to have enrolled Maddox and his brother Pax in a school in the city.

‘She has enlisted her children into (an) elite French-American school that they will attend from next week on,’ a source told People about the star’s two older boys.

‘The school has a kindergarten, too, where Zahara and Shiloh will attend,’ the source added.

Brad Pitt is the NFL’s voice for its upcoming documentary on the New Orleans’ Saints Super Bowl victory.

Pitt narrates NFL Films’ documentary, “America’s Game: 2009 New Orleans Saints,” about the team’s win over the Indianapolis Colts last February. The film debuts on the NFL Network at 9 p.m. EDT on Sept. 8, the night before the Saints begin their defense of the Super Bowl title.

The NFL traditionally seeks out a celebrity narrator for its annual Super Bowl documentary. Pitt was chosen because of his humanitarian work in New Orleans in the five years since Hurricane Katrina, the NFL said.

Past narrators have included Alec Baldwin, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Martin Sheen, Bruce Willis and James Gandolfini. “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm narrated last year’s film on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Brad Pitt has spoken of his delight at seeing families move into the homes he helped rebuild in New Orleans, Louisiana after touring the city to mark the fifth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

The Hollywood actor helped found the Make It Right project, which has built 34 eco-friendly houses in an area which was completely devastated by the storm in September 2005.

Pitt went back to New Orleans on Friday to tour the completed buildings and admits he felt overwhelmed to see families living in the community.

He tells NBC’s Nightly News show, “It’s not mine, it’s theirs. I see them having barbecues out in the (backyards) and I’m just thrilled.

“I can take credit for sitting down with the community first (before the government), and I can take credit for bringing in some really smart people and hooking them up with the families here.”

Country star Faith Hill performed a free show in the city on Tuesday to support the rebuilding efforts and actress Sandra Bullock is due to cut the ribbon on a new $700,000 health clinic in New Orleans which she helped fund.

Brad Pitt thinks executives responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill deserve the death penalty

The ‘Inglourious Basterds’ star speaks out against those behind the oil rig explosion in April – which caused the worst environmental disaster in US history with millions of gallons of oil flooding into the sea – in a new documentary ‘If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise’.

Of the people responsible for the disaster, Brad says: “I was never for the death penalty before – I am willing to look at it again.”

The oil spill – which happened after an explosion on the BP operated Deepwater Horizon rig – resulted in the decimation of wildlife and habitat of marine and coastal animals, as well as loss of livelihood for many fishermen and other people who depend of the area for work. As yet the root cause of the disaster remains unconfirmed.

Brad’s comments are at the end of the documentary, filmed by Spike Lee, about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans, Louisiana – the closest major US city to the Deepwater rig – five years after the hurricane devastated the city, leaving 80 per cent of it waterlogged.

Brad spearheaded the ‘Make it Right’ project after the natural disaster, which built 150 affordable and sustainable homes in one of the areas of New Orleans that was worst hit.

The documentary originally ended on a positive note, with the New Orleans saints NFL team winning the Super Bowl, but after the oil spill in April, Spike extended the programme to include the effects of it.

He said: “This would have been a much more upbeat documentary for sure.”

An estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico during the 87-day spill. An operation to seal the leak will not be completed until next month.

‘If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise’ will be shown in the US tonight August 23, 2010.
