(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Brad Pitt kept his two sons occupied while he worked by sending them boogie boarding in Mexico yesterday.

The actor arrived in Cancun to promote his new movie Moneyball and while he took care of business he sent Maddox, nine, and seven-year-old Pax to the beach so they could catch some waves.

A bodyguard was on hand to keep a close eye on the two boys as they splashed around on their boards in the tropical paradise.

Brad joined his co-star Jonah Hill to do a press conference about the upcoming film about baseball and said he enjoyed playing the game with his children.

"I like to play ball with my boys," Brad told USA Today but added that he was not a huge fan of the sport when he was growing up.

"I knew very little about baseball apart from taking one in the face in junior high school."

Just hours later, Brad and the boys boarded a private plane and left the South American country. (C) Cover Media
