Brad Pitt buys Soviet-era tank. What will Angelina say?

CEBU, Philippines - As an A-list star he has the cash to indulge in whatever vanity purchase he chooses.

But surely Brad Pitt will have a bit of explaining to do when the Soviet era T54 Russian tank he has reportedly just bought is dropped off at his house.

The hunk has added the heavily armoured vehicle to his collection after falling in love when it was used as a prop in his upcoming zombie disaster movie World War Z.

Quite what his partner Angelina Jolie will make of his latest investment is anyone's guess.

But surely their brood of six children, Pax, Maddox, Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne and Knox, will love their daddy's new toy.

The military vehicle is currently being shipped to Los Angeles, and Fight Club star Brad is doubtlessly looking forward to being reunited with his macho runaround.

The first T-54 prototype appeared in March 1945, just before the end of the Second World War and became the main tank for armored units of the Soviet Army.
