Brad Pitt has revealed he and Angelina Jolie are ready for another child.

The handsome actor says the couple - who already have a 15-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh, and three adopted children, six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara - are keen to add their brood.

When asked if they wanted a fifth child, Brad replied: "Yeah, we're ready."

The 'Fight Club' star also revealed fatherhood is "the most fun" he's ever had, although he admits he is sleep deprived.

He said: "It's the most fun I've ever had and also the biggest pain... I've ever experienced. I love it and can't recommend it any more highly — although sleep is non-existent!"

Last month, it was reported Brad and Angelina were planning to have another baby of their own.

A source said: "They've decided the time is right to try for another baby. Brad is crossing his fingers that it will be a boy."

To give themselves the best possible chance of conceiving, Brad, 43, has been reading a number of health books and has been cooking Angelina, 32, fertility boosting meals.

It was also claimed that the couple were planning to adopt another child from Ethiopia.

The couple are said to believe another baby will help Zahara feel more secure within the family, because of their shared African heritage.
