'I've discovered I don't suck at being a dad': Brad Pitt talks to Details about fatherhood and how he was a wild child himself as he poses in a forest

He is one of Hollywood's most monitored celebrities.

And to get away from the scrutinizing limelight, Brad Pitt ventured to the redwood forests in Northern California for the November issue of Details.

Inside the pages, the 50-year-old outdoorsman - who tied the knot with actress Angelina Jolie in August - revealed his love of nature. He also confessed, 'I've discovered I don't suck at being a dad.'

Since being in a relationship with Jolie, he has become a dad to six children: 12-year-old Maddox, 11-year-old Pax, Zahara, aged nine, Shiloh, aged eight, and twins Knox and Vivienne, aged six.

Brad told the publication he's learned to tune out the scrutiny of constantly being watched and recorded especially while promoting new films and projects.

'My soul was stolen by the camera so long ago, I don't have to think about it anymore,' he said. 'One definition of freedom is the ability to follow your bliss without being watched, recorded, scrutinized.'

The actor revealed he finds his bliss while exploring the outdoors and being one with the natural world.

He explained: 'I will always be most comfortable in the outdoors. I grew up in the Ozarks - something resembling Mark Twain country. The woods, rivers, bluffs, lakes and caves have all left an indelible mark on me. And I'm quite reverential when it comes to a tree.'

The nature lover even got a tree tattoo on his body. 'On my forearm, I had tattoed 94.9m (311.4ft) - the height of the largest sequoia.'

And during the interview, Brad recalled fond childhood memories of spending the days being a rambunctious rider in his hometown of Springfield, Missouri.

'I first rode at age seven on my cousin's Honda Mini Trail 50. I tried to jump it and ran it into my grandmother's ca. He was severly pissed off,' he reminisced.

'My first bike was a Kawi 150 enduro. I won it at age twelve in a contest for selling the most pecan log rolls door to door after school. I crashed it four weeks later.'

Nowadays, he tries to fit time for riding every time he gets. 'I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I travel to, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to the belly of India. I haven't even come close to fulfilling my list - yet. But in the traffic of L.A. with a helmet on, I'm just another asshole on the road.'
