(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Brad Pitt is looking forward to the day he can swap "youth for wisdom".

The actor's chiselled jaw and hunky physique have long made him a favourite with the ladies, but at 47 he knows his time as a heartthrob might be coming to an end. It's not something Brad is particularly worried about though, as he thinks he'll gain a better insight into the world as he gets older.

"One day I will just swap youth with wisdom," he laughed to the German edition of OK! magazine.

Brad and his partner Angelina Jolie raise six children together. He loves being a father, saying it's totally changed his life.

The star is regularly seen out playing with Maddox, ten, Pax, eight, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, but has admitted being a dad has its down side. Chasing after the tots often leaves him tired, and he's started to see the signs of ageing creeping up on him.

"Man, it wears you out. Are you kidding? I'm ageing fast," he previously joked. (C) Cover Media
