Brad Pitt says that he and Angelina Jolie's six kids—Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 6—didn't embarrass America when they met the Queen of England during Jolie's dame ceremony earlier this month."That was a lovely day for our whole family. We were offered the opportunity to bring the kids in to meet the Queen afterwards, and I have to say I have never seen them so still and respectful in my whole life," Pitt, 50, told Hello! Magazine. "To see them bowing and curtseying and saying 'Your Majesty' was an absolute delight."Meeting the kings and queens of the world's most powerful countries builds character, Pitt opined."Travel is the best education there is," he said. "I had never been on a plane till I was 24 or 25, so when I started to travel abroad, whether it was to Netherlands or Tokyo or Belgium, it was all such an experience."Pitt's upcoming movie "By the Sea," written and directed by Jolie, took the "Moneyball" star to Malta, where he was forced to speak French for the role."I think my French is pretty good, so my writer/director put a lot of the language into the script and we'll see how I do," he said. "My writer/director is tough as nails, as you know."Jolie's "Unbroken," which she directed and produced, hits theaters later this year and may compete with Pitt's "Fury" at the Academy Awards. The prospect of battling his wife for an Oscar doesn't bother Pitt, however."I often end up with movies competing with my friends' movies and I always feel that it's great when we all make it there," he said. "I am immensely proud of Angie, she's made an incredible movie, which is a big story about the triumph of the human spirit - we're certainly not pitted against each other and I hope 'Unbroken' gets all the recognition it deserves."
