Actor Brad Pitt has reportedly refused 5-million-dollar offer for a public appearance to spend quality time with his family. The Burn After Reading star was set to attend the Grand Prix Ball Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates on October 3. However, he chose to skip it to be with his kids, reports the China Daily.

A source told Life and Style magazine: “He’s spending more time with the family and doing less of these appearances, even though it’s a huge sum of cash.” Meanwhile, James Magee, a representative for Global Event Management, which organized the show, said: “We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development and Investment Company. But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why.”

Beyonce Knowles, Aerosmith and Timbaland had performed at the event aimed to collect funds for money for clean water charity Fresh2o.
