Father and son bonding for Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt got in some father and son bonding time recently, taking adopted sons Maddox and Pax on a helicopter ride around Monaco.

He was in the tiny principality to celebrate rock star Bono’s birthday, after spending quality time with the family in France.

Earlier in the weekend he had taken the boys to join his pregnant wife Angelina Jolie for an ultrasound check in a French hospital, where they saw their two new sisters for the first time.

It is thought that the couple are expecting the addition of twin girls to their already sizable brood. Angelina previously adopted six-year-old Maddox, Pax Thien, four, and Zahara, three, and gave birth to their daughter Shiloh in 2006.

Angelina has said in the past that she decided to have a biological child after seeing how well Brad interacted with her adopted kids.

He has been photographed out and about doing his fatherly duties over the last few years, picking the children up from school, buying them sweet treats and taking them to the park.
