Guess who’s on karting, too? 44 years old Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt played a doting dad on his son’s, Maddox, 7^th birthday. The family was seen so happy together while the pair goes head on karting near their $70 Million French Chateau. Knowing Brad as a natural vehicle lover, this track and the availability of go karting might be one of the main reasons why they finally settled in the Chateau.

Maddox is the eldest adopted son of Brad Pitt, while he and partner, Angelina Jolie, had also their first twins last month: Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. They also had three more adopted kids: 4 years old Pax, 3 years old Zahara, and 2 years old Shiloh. Because of the partner’s growing family, they also have a lot of vehicles in their garage like the Audi Q7 that’s just right for the family’s adventure and the recent BMW 7 Hydra that Brad Pitt arrived with in the premier of the Ocean 13’s premiere.

I’m already thinking of what gifts Zahara, Pax, and Shiloh will receive from their dad for their birthdays. Will it also be a karting session, or a drive on any of the coupes, sports, utilities, and family adventure vehicles of their choice? What I have in mind is that the boys might expect the same gifts while the girls will have a shopping spree with their gorgeous mother. Maybe a lunch or diner with the entire family, too in one of the most known restaurants or fine dines in the land. Who knows what they can provide and offer their growing kids? If they can donate millions, they can as well give away that much for each kid’s birthday.

Well, what about buying each one of them vehicles this early Brad?
