HollyNolly: A Brad dad? Pitt reveals that he will let his son Maddox, 12, watch his latest R-rated movie 12 Years A Slave

The film has an R-restricted rating, meaning that no person under 17 can watch the film without being accompanied by an adult.
But Brad Pitt feels that his eldest child - 12-year-old adopted son Maddox - is mature enough to sit through his latest movie 12 Years A Slave.
In an interview with TODAY Brad was asked by Ann Curry if we allow his son to watch it, to which he replied: 'Maybe my eldest I would, right now'.

Mature: Brad will let his adopted son Maddox watch his latest film

He added: 'I'd rather for the others to get a little bit older and understand the dynamics of the world a little more.'

The film tells the story of Solomon Northup, who is abducted and sold into slavery having been livin as a free man in upstate New York.
Brad plays a smaller role in the film but also serves as a producer.

'It's why I got into film in the first place. It's one of those few films that cuts to the base of our humanity.'

Meanwhile, it seems that Brad clearly feels that his son Maddox is advanced for his age.

Earlier this year he revealed Maddox would be starring as a zombie extra in his ultra-violent film World War Z.

'He gets shot in the head . . . multiple times. But he gets double tapped,' Brad said at the time.

'I don't know what that says about me as a parent,' he added.

Brad's full interview airs on NBC News TODAY and Ann Curry, on Wednesday, October 16.
