Additionally, the source further described the 56-year-old actor as focused parent, claiming that whenever he’s with his kids he really tries to connect with them. According to the supposed source, whenever Pitt is with his kids, he “solely” focuses on them —not his career and not on himself.

It must be noted that there were previous report of Pitt ditching the 2020 Baftas due to “family obligations.” Quoting a source that talked to the publication The Sun, it was revealed that Maddox Jolie-Pitt was the reason Pitt skipped that prestigious award’s night, Metro UK reported.

The insider reportedly said that Pitt’s life priority was being a father and he would drop anything to repair his estranged relationship with his eldest son. Many can remember those various reports saying that the father and son had an altercation which prompted Jolie to file for divorce against Pitt.

Since then, news about the rift in Maddox and Pitt’s relationship had been circulating. When his eldest son turned 18, he went to South Korea for college and when Pitt knew that he was in town, he reportedly cancelled his trip to UK for a chance to have a conversation with him.
