This is how Brad Pitt celebrated his 53rd birthday

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt celebrated his 53rd birthday on December 18.

The actor who was in the news lately following this divorce with Angelina Jolie, reportedly chose to celebrate his special day with close friends in a private dinner party.

"Brad Pitt spent his birthday enjoying a mellow dinner with a few close, old friends. Brad has been working hard on maintaining a low-profile and his plan is to stay out of the spotlight until his divorce and custody issues are finalised," a source said. 

"He was not interested in celebrating his birthday out at any hot restaurants. Brad will not be doing anything that will interfere with his custody battle. His primary focus right now is working on himself and working on rebuilding his relationship with his kids," the source added. 

Meanwhile, Jolie took daughter Shiloh, 10, camera shopping on Pitt's birthday.
