Out with the kids

'Button-ed' up

Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie arrive at the premiere of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in Paris on Thursday, Jan. 22. "Button" was nominated for 13 Oscars, but won just three, for makeup, art direction and visual effects.

On the 'Case'

In 2008's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Pitt starred as a man who is born old and then ages backward. Pitt told Rolling Stone, "I find 'Benjamin' is about those universal things we all share -- that 95 percent that makes us all the same, wherever we are in the world. Our loves, our hopes, but also the loss that we all walk around with and hide very well, and the ultimate notion that we're all expendable."
