Actor Brad Pitt has slammed fellow Americans for having an unrealistic view of Africa, for most of them consider the continent to be a romantic destination.

The Ocean's Eleven star says Morocco is a hot favorite amongst tourists because they consider it to be a romantic location, but in reality the culture that prevails there is very different from what exists in the US, and visiting the place means that people should prepare themselves for a different lifestyle.

"There are Americans who think it would be romantic to go off to Morocco but never think what would happen if they got into an accident,¡± Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"They've grown up with the idea of having a pharmacy down the road; whatever they need, they can have," he said.

Pitt's first child with lover Angelina Jolie, Shiloh Nouvel, was born in Namibia earlier this year. (ANI)
