BRAD PITT got some early parenting practice for his future brood of six, by playing with TOM CRUISE’s daughter ISABELLA on the set of their 1994 movie INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE.
Cruise claims he knew Pitt was destined to have a big family, because he had a natural rapport with Isabella, then just one year old.
The Top Gun star tells People, "Every time Bella was on the set you could just tell he wanted to be a father." Pitt now has three biological children and three adopted kids with partner Angelina Jolie.

Hollywood actor SAMUEL L. JACKSON refuses to seek counselling for his ongoing struggle with drink and drugs - because the therapy groups near his home in Los Angeles are "just too weird".
The Pulp Fiction star battled an addiction to booze and illegal substances before a stint in rehab in 1990 forced him to get clean.
And although Jackson has been sober for 18 years, he would ideally like to continue therapy to help steer him away from temptation - but Jackson has a strong dislike of the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in LA.
He says, "It’s just too weird. You hear guys saying stuff like, ‘I’ve been hitting the red wine too heavy and I need to stop, but I want to keep smoking reefer (cannabis) and doing cocaine.’ "In New York, rehab is for real. You sit next to guys who were IV users, guys who stole s**t, guys who sold their bodies. In Los Angeles you’re sitting next to a guy who wants to go easy on the fine wine. Man, that’s a symptom of something right there."

MICHAEL JACKSON once dressed up as an Arab sheikh to allow him to go unnoticed during a trip to Disneyland with his pal DAVID GEST.
The pop superstar donned a full headdress, with material covering his face, and walked around the Californian theme park posing as a wealthy foreigner, with Gest as his translator.
And Gest admits it was one of the funniest days of his life, as no one realised Jackson’s true identity.
He says, "We once went to Disneyland with Michael dressed as a sheikh with me as his translator. We met an English couple from Croydon and when Michael jabbered away talking gibberish I told them he was saying he was upset because he was divorcing his 99th wife.
"They were completely taken in and said they hoped he would find happiness with his 100th wife. It was hysterical. But they were so sweet, we picked up the tab for their meal."

British actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has become the new face of a campaign by human rights charity Amnesty International.
The Atonement star has posed for a photograph holding a banner carrying the slogan "Protect the Human", released to mark the 60th anniversary of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The agreement, which was signed on 10 December 1948, set out for the first time in a single document the fundamental rights that should be enjoyed by all.
Knightley has also made a short film to mark the occasion, using the opportunity to voice her opinion on the matter.
She says, "I wanted to be part of this film for Amnesty to help raise awareness of the UDHR and to help them, in a small way, to campaign against the abuses of human rights that are still happening every day.
"It seems that ‘human rights’ has become a bit of a loaded term in this country, but if you look at the declaration that countries made 60 years ago, it just sets out a series of basic rules about how people should treat each other.
"The UDHR is something that everyone should be aware of and be proud of as a statement of our common humanity."

I’m not going to get to be with my children any more, or friends, people I love and respect.
"And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now. I don’t want to waste time being angry at someone I love."
