While actress-director Angelina Jolie is battling chickenpox, her husband Brad Pitt and his family came to the fore to promote her forthcoming drama `Unbroken` on her behalf.

For the second time in as many days, Pitt stepped at the `Unbroken` premiere here Monday for Jolie, to help push the film's big Christmas Day release because she is still stuck at home with poor health, reports eonline.com.

`Her spirits are high,` Pitt said.

`A little spotted and a little itchy, but her spirits are high,` he added.

The `Fury` star hit the event with sons Pax and Maddox and daughter Shiloh, as well as his parents.

Jolie announced Friday that she was pulling out of all `Unbroken` events for the near future because of her illness.
