"There's a rite of passage where I grew up from inheriting your ancestors' weapon," the 50-year-old said.



"My brother got my dad's(gun). I got my grandfather's when I was in kindergarten," Pitt added.

The "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" actor was given his first air gun when he was in nursery and received shotgun when he was six and even fired a handgun by the time he was eight years old.
