Brad Pitt has dropped the bombshell that he is quitting nude scenes – because he doesn't want to embarrass his kids

The actor says that we have seem the last of his perfectly formed bod - previously on show in films such as  Thelma and Louise, Troy and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, in which he co-starred with girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

"I don't want to be embarrassed when my kids get old enough to see my films," he tells the BBC. "I can't see any more nude scenes [in my career.]"

 "I figure I've got very few films left. Who knows how many I'll get to do now, so I want to do something I'm interested in.

"Otherwise, I don't want to bother. I think it's a younger person's game."

In news that will probably be more welcomed by movie-goers, Brad has also said he has finished with the Ocean's movies.

 "There's no more," he said of the series of caper flicks. "I think we need to put away childish things."

Despite this, he still plans to work with pals George Clooney and Matt Damon again.

"We'll find something else. I just don't think there's anywhere to go with that particular story," he said.
