The 50-year-old actor jokingly said his wife is rather "peppered" and "spotty" while she recovers from the viral infection.
While Brad Pitt was on hand to step in for his absentee wife Angelina Jolie, who is suffering with chickenpox, at the Hollywood premiere of her latest directorial effort, the WWII flick 'Unbroken,' he was able to give an update on her current condition.

But it wasn't just Pitt stepping in for Jolie, the 50-year-old actor also walked the red carpet with the couple's sons Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10, and daughter Shiloh, 8, to support their mother while she recovers from the viral infection.

"She's a bit peppered, a bit spotted," he jokingly said to Access Hollywood. "She's doing great, she's so proud of this film...and grateful for everyone who came out [to the premiere] and her spirits are high."
Jolie broke the news that her chickenpox will force her to miss upcoming 'Unbroken' events to her via a video released by Universal Studios Entertainment on Friday (Dec 12th), in which she can be seen wearing a white tank top with visible red spots covering her upper body.
"I just wanted to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbroken events in the next few days, which is that I found out last night that I have chickenpox," she said to the camera. "So, I will be home itching and missing everyone, and I can't believe it, because this film means so much to me. I just can't believe it. But such is life, there it is. And send everyone my love, and hope everything goes well."
