In an interview with E! reporter Marc Malkin, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, the dynamic duo of The Hills, aspire to be like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt when it comes to having children.
Pratt commented that many children are without homes and they would like to adopt but also said they'd like to make babies too. He also said, "We'll pull an Angelina and Brad and have a whole clan."
Heidi Montag postulated that not only would they like to adopt just any child but--like Jolie--a child from Africa. She then speaks of how she wanted to do missionary work in Africa, "...not just go there for a safari, but actually do something."
