Brad Pitt was locked up to build a tire with alienated twins

According to sources, PITT, 61, hopes to build confidence and to repair all the damage caused in the course of the years after his divorce and separation of their mother, Angelina Jolie, 49.

The other children of Pitt and Jolie – Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20 and Shiloh, 19 – are legal adults and are not obliged to spend time with their father, unless they decide to do this.

An insider said: “But Brad has another year in which Vivienne and Knox have the task of spending time with him.

“It is a crucial moment. He knows that time rises, and this is perhaps his last real chance to rebuild a connection before they graduate and go to the university and go to their own life, so he goes out completely to get as much time with them as he can.

“He wants to be much more in LA so that he can concentrate on them.”

The twins will be 17 to 12 July, so Brad will have at least one year to restore the relationship.
