ANGELINA JOLIE was looking for a father to her children before she met BRAD PITT, and she's so impressed with his parenting skills she now wants a huge family with him.

The actress has lavished praise on her partner, insisting he's a caring humanitarian and a fantastic dad to the couple's adopted son MADDOX, five, and their biological daughter, seven-month-old SHILOH.

She reveals, "What I wanted was to find somebody who, first and foremost, was a great father, because I was already a parent. Yes, I needed somebody who cared about the issues. But it's not just that Brad will travel and he loves kids. He's a thoughtful, intelligent man.

"We definitely want a very big family. It might seem crazy to build it so quickly. But if we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young."
