Brad Pitt to Kids: No Acting Until You're 18

At the premiere of his latest feature, the actor reveals he's not too keen on the idea of his children acting

There’s another reason to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, besides the fact that it stars Brad Pitt, is directed by David Fincher and looks awesome. Drumroll please...Shiloh makes a little cameo! Brad refuses to call it that, though.

At last night's New Orleans premiere of the film, he explained to E! News that Shi is only in one scene because the real actor baby was crying too much and they needed a baby who could behave. Shiloh obliged and showed that actor baby what's up.

However, Shiloh better not be hoping to go all Jaden Smith, because papa Pitt sternly plans to tell his kids, "[You can pursue acting only] after you’re 18, you can do whatever you want to do.”

If we're not going to be seeing any Jolie-Pitts at the cineplex for another decade, at least we still have Suri Cruise. We have a hunch she'll be making her big-screen debut soon enough...
