Brad Pitt has a "radar" which sniffs out paparazzi.The actor says his "instincts" allowed him to detect photographers hiding on the set of his new movie 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'. Brad told the USA Today newspaper: "You develop radar. Like I know when there's someone in the bushes 300 yards away shooting. I know to recognise that feeling. On the Canadian set, there was a guy in total camouflage, who commandoed his way on knee and elbow. And I know that feeling. It's inexplicable, it's just one of those instincts."The film's director Andrew Dominik confirmed Brad's sixth sense for snappers: "He would always spot the paparazzi hiding in the trees."Brad, who plays American outlaw Jesse James, found it easy to relate to his character because he often feels "paranoid" and "hunted". He explained: "I understand the essence of paranoia. I understand being hunted, to some degree. I understand a bounty on my head."The 43-year-old star, who won a Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival for his portrayal of the gun-toting robber, insists he and lover Angelina Jolie can handle the pressures of fame - but finds it upsetting when their children are thrust into the limelight. Brad said: "I understand the deal. It can get chaotic. It only bothers me when they get in the kids' faces."It's impossible for us. We're run out of every major city. There are just too many paparazzi. There are always cameras in the kids' faces, yelling their names. Angie gets out of the car, and they take the camera down to the curb and shoot up her skirt. It's unbelievable. That's why there's a constant negotiation in how to survive and how to maintain a family life."Brad and Angelina have three adopted children, six-year-old Maddox, Pax,three, and two-year-old Zahara. They also have a 16-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh.
