"It''s something [my kids] will enjoy and think dad is cool," Us magazine quoted him as telling Ann Curry On Tuesday's Today show.

When questioned if his character is autobiographical, Pitt laughed and replied, "It''s really not, but it sounded good...."

The Dreamworks Animation will make the film, which may also star Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey.

Pitt has six kids with partner Angelina Jolie.
