Injured Brad Pitt walks with a cane after skiing accident carrying daughter

Actor Brad Pitt sustained knee injury

Brad Pitt is walking with the aid of a stick after he injured himself during a recent skiing holiday.

The Hollywood actor used the cane for his red carpet appearance with partner Angelina Jolie at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala this weekend.

'I was carrying my daughter down the hill and I slipped,' heroic Brad, 48, told reporters.

'It was either her or me.'

With their huge family, Brad and Angelina - adoptive parents to Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, and Zahara, 7, and biological mum and dad to Shiloh, 5, plus twins Vivienne and Knox, 3 - are no strangers to little accidents.

'When Maddox was younger, I took a fall and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make sure he didn't have the fall,' said Angelina, 36.

'Every parent has injured themselves. Every parent will stand in the line of fire for their kids so it's a normal thing.'
