Pitt praises Parker over adoption

Brad Pitt has praised co-star Mary-Louise Parker for her decision to adopt a child from Africa.

Pitt - who stars alongside Parker in new movie 'The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford' - believes the 43-year-old actress will make a "great" adoptive mother.

He says: "I think that's a great idea! She's a great mother, she graced our film, came in and did a really lovely part for us.

"She had her little boy out and she was a really lovely mother."

Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie have three adopted children.
