Brad Pitt has spoken out in support of Madonna's decision to adopt a Malawian baby.

The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor - who is joint guardian of Angelina Jolie's two adopted children, five-year-old Cambodian Maddox and Ethiopian girl Zahara, who is 22-months-old - commended the singer and her husband Guy Ritchie for their adoption of 13-month-old David.

Brad told US TV show 'Access Hollywood': "The most important thing is that their intentions are right. They are trying to give a home, an education and good health care to a kid who probably wouldn't get that. Their hearts are in the right place and they will know what to do."

Brad left Angelina and their children, including their 5-month-old biological daughter Shiloh, in Pune, India, when he flew 8,000 miles, a 20-hour flight, to attend the premiere of his latest film 'Babel' in Hollywood.

The 'Fight Club' star admitted it was hard being so far away from his family.

He said: "It's a little tough. But I'm heading back tomorrow."

Back in India, Angelina - a UN Goodwill Ambassador - and Maddox visited refugees in New Delhi.
