Brad Pitt has told pals he intends on moving his family to their new home in Berlin to get his partner Angelina Jolie out of the limelight.

The actor says the couple may even quit acting to ensure the health of Angelina, who has shed weight since the death of her mother earlier this year.

The Daily Mirror reports Brad telling a friend, �I want Angelina to settle down somewhere out of the limelight. She's lost a lot of weight recently and our plans are strictly to do with our move to Berlin.

"She wants to leave acting and support me with this.

�We also don't want our kids to go to school in Hollywood - it will be best if they can go to school in Berlin. We love the city.

"Berlin is so quiet and balanced, away from paparazzi."
