Brad Pitt has been a gun owner for a very long time.

The recently married actor told Radio Times he inherited his grandfather’s gun when he was a child.

“There’s a rite of passage where I grew up of inheriting your ancestors’ weapons,” said 50-year-old Pitt, according to the Independent. “My brother got my dad’s. I got my grandfather’s shotgun when I was in kindergarten.”

Pitt revealed he was given an air gun first and got the shotgun at age 6. He said he first fired a handgun at age 8.
