Sex? We're Friends for now

Few women could resist Brad Pitt beating down their door, wanting to have children.

But when you are making £600,000 an episode in one of the most enduring comedy shows ever, you might be forgiven for putting work first.

That is exactly what actress Jennifer Aniston has done, according to her film-star husband - and it is driving the would-be father 'nuts'.

The Ocean's Eleven actor says he wants to start a family as soon as possible but she keeps agreeing to do more episodes of Friends.

'I say, "Jen, when are we going to have babies?",' said Pitt, 39.

'She says "soon" but then I find out she's signing on for another year.

'I wonder, "When is soon?" and ask whether I will be 40 years old before I'm a daddy.'

Aniston and the rest of the cast of the Emmy-award winning comedy finally agreed to a tenth series in December after months of pay wrangling.

'We always wanted to wait until the show ended to have a baby - but it looks like it is a phoenix that never dies,' Pitt told Closer magazine.

He said whenever they argued about it she brought up her strained relationship with mother Nancy, 61, who outraged Aniston by cashing in on her daughter's fame in a TV show in 1996.

Aniston said: 'We definitely want to have children, and at some point in the next year or two we'll definitely be going down that road - I hope.'
