And Brad revealed that a certain football tournament could get even more exciting the future.
Talking about his and Angelina’s plans for more kids, he revealed: ""We’re thinking a soccer team. Start our own country, enter the World Cup and dominate it."
The actor was back to his handsome self, without the ageing make-up he wears in the film for which he was nominated, Babel.
The star chatted amiably, whilst Angelina stood next to him, looking just a little bit bored by the whole thing.
Talking about juggling their priorities, Brad admitted that it was all about: "A lot of that, a little of this. Most of it at home with the family, that seem to be a pretty good balance for us."
As he said it, he glanced over at Angie, who remained quiet. Brad went on to explain that his Golden Globes day was spent mostly NOT thinking about the award ceremony.
"Morning with the kids, breakfast, diapers and books," he said, while Angelina revealed that she doesn’t cook a full English, but that the kids made do with cereal.
Angelina ’in dress row’ - Jan 16 2007
Angelina Jolie is apparently kicking up a fuss over her Golden Globes dress, despite signing an exclusive contract with designer St John to wear their gear on all the red carpets she attends.
Women’s Wear Daily reports that the actress has been "less than ecstatic with the clothes as of late" and that the team behind her clothes "has been working overtime to make her happy".
Other sources report that while the star often appears to care less about all things image-wise, she is in fact "very particular" and it is not at all surprising "she is making them tweak things".
The glamourpuss will still make the stroll down the carpet at the event, although she could be in one of two dresses - which of which is grey and the other her trademark black.
Mrs Brad Pitt signed a lucrative deal with St John that has given them a ton of publicity, but if they are keen to make sure that she re-signs, with all the competition that is out there, they would do best to please.

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.
At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz. Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.
Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom. However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame. The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.
Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike. Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances. Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire. Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.
In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt. Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit. The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
