Brad Pitt’s Exclusive Interview on the Bodyguard Controversy
Brad Pitt gave an exclusive interview to NDTV (New Delhi Television Limited) late last week, speaking out against the the bodyguard controversy. Brad was interviewed by NDTV’s Managing Editor Barkha Dutt and sat alongside Indian theater and film actor, Irfan Khan. Watch the first 8 minutes below! Part II after the jump… Thanks, Alexanderina!!
Here’s an excerpt of what Brad had to say: “This is not what Angelina [Jolie] and I wanted. This contradicts the message of the film we are trying to make. Angelina and I have a multi-racial family, we want them to respect and understand different religions. Maybe we should have explained our intentions when we first got here. We would not hire anyone who is racist or who would hurt or push a child.”
UPDATE :: Part III added after the jump!

I am glad he is wearing the same jacket or at least the same colour jacket that he wore to the artshow with Angie in September.
Maniston and Anon:
Don’t give up, guys. I think our excellent and wonderful Jared just cleaned up the thread again, so we don’t need to worry about haters and naysayers, we can just drool over the McDreamy and McSteamy combined — BRAD PITT!!!
Guys just ignore the haters, they are not worth our time or our energy.
BTW: You guys don’t have to thank me I just wanted to share the video with you guys, Jared is the one that did all the work by downloading it and posting it. I think it is a great interview and Brad is so damn HOT

Thanks Jared and Alexandria for sharing the first part of Brad’s interview. Whoa, Brad looks very, very hot…dayum. I must be a cultural thing in India…this bring idols down to taste humility. I’ve read story where other Indian celebrities have been treated the same way.

If I were Angie and Brad I will also speak for them because we all know they’re just doing their job protecting BAMZS family.
I myself also envy BAMZS bodyguard and assistant they got a chance to be with them, fly and tour with them and sometimes eat in one table. I just cant imagine how wonderful it will be… heheheh wishful thinking!!!!!

Thank you berry …
Pitt never answered her question and he did sound petulant and ill rehearsed for his little speach.
looking says and berry says are two peas in a pod. Opinionated in their own minds, so why are you both here? Huh? Those negative vibes make you feel happy? Biatches…..
OMG.
KRAMER from SEINFELD is a RACIST!

Thank you JJ for the interview. Can’t wait to hear the rest. Brad is “Great!” He will get another “Sexiest man Alive.” It’ll be his third. I read somewhere that
the family are on their way home
Cliniqua,
Yep, Kramer’s rant is on all of the blogs. He is one very unhappy and bitter man. Sure he got heckled but he sure can’t handle it….
Wow….TOMKAT is feeling the heat…check it out
Cruise wedding was ‘all for show’
NICK PISA
IN BRACCIANO

HOLLYWOOD stars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were already married when they tied the knot in a spectacular £1 million wedding at a fairytale Italian castle, it emerged yesterday.
Cruise’s agent revealed the couple had a legal ceremony in America before flying to Italy, as the Church of Scientology service is not recognised there.
Arnold Robinson, Cruise’s agent, said they had “officialised” their marriage in Los Angeles before flying to Italy - prompting accusations Saturday’s event was just a publicity stunt.
Residents also spoke out against the star after he failed to acknowledge the thousands of fans by getting out of his car or making a public appearance outside Odescalchi Castle at Bracciano, north of Rome.
Loredana Ruggiero, a fan, said: “I waited outside all day and virtually all night. It was cold and rainy and then in the evening it was foggy and I didn’t see them once.
“It’s a shame as we had made them so welcome. They could have got out of their cars or waved from the castle, but instead they didn’t acknowledge us at all. I feel really snubbed.”
Mayor Patrizia Riccioni also hit out, saying: “It would have been nice for them to stop and wave at the townfolk.
“They welcomed them with open arms and put up with a lot of inconvenience over the last few days so it would have been nice if they had made a gesture.
“The citizens are upset that the mayor of Rome was invited and the mayor of Bracciano wasn’t - they have also asked me to reconsider giving the couple honorary citizenship.
“It’s too early to make a decision on that, but all I will say is that the cherry on the cake would have been for them to acknowledge the people of Bracciano.
“Nevertheless, I have nothing against the couple, to whom I am very grateful for all the international publicity. It’s likely it was just a slip-up by the organisers of the wedding.”
Celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Brooke Shields and Jim Carrey flew in for the event at the 500-year-old, ivy-covered castle.
Holmes arrived first, followed by guests in a series of blacked-out minibuses.
Cruise arrived at 4pm and the wedding took place at 6pm in the Sala dei Armi (Hall of Arms).
The ceremony angered the local priest, Father Nicola Fiorentini, who rang his bells for evening Saturday Mass longer and louder than normal before the wedding began. He said: “It wasn’t a wedding at all. It was all just for publicity. I can’t believe such an event was allowed to take place in the castle. A pope once stayed there and now we have all this. It’s shameful and an offence.”
The wedding finished just after midnight, following a firework display that was largely blanketed by the thick fog that descended on the castle.
The couple flew out of Italy early yesterday aboard a private jet and headed to the Maldives on honeymoon.
i am struck by how calm he always is in all of his interviews.
I wonder what went through his mind when Irfan Khan paused & referred to him as “Angelina’s boyfriend”. I know they don’t feel the need to get married but it probably bothered him somewhat to be referred to as her boyfriend when he’s much more than that. He should have said “Yo, Irfan. I am her baby’s daddy”

Thats because it wasn’t rehearsed, it was right after the incident and He was speaking from the heart. You wouldn’t know about that.
Thank you Jared for the third part! You rock!!!
Good going Alexanderina and Jared! Thanks for the video.
BTW - Been busy working this morning…has the family turned up anywhere yet?

I don’t know if it’s bad publicity for them (Tom&Katie) because it sounds as if the local people are only miffed because they weren’t acknowledged. I would have respected them more if they ignore the whole charade. And anyone with an ounce of common sense could see that this is nothing more than a show. The guest list is ridiculous. Why is Jim Carrey invited? and Brooke Shields? And Posh Spice. Come on, now. Remind me, which of those people are Katie’s (bought) friends again?

Thank you berry …

I like when things are not rehearsed that is when you get the most honest answers IMO. I think you can tell when things are staged or the answers are the PR answers. But this interview seems unexpected as things happened so fast but necessary as to address it immediately and very much from an honest place.
Brad needed to have a clearer understanding of what he was going to say and REHEARSED IT so he could just say it and not get caught so many times looking up while he tries to figure out the word or phrase he wanted to use.
I think I actually prefer to read transcripts of his interviews rather than actually watch him give one because It’s almost painful to watch him struggle to put a clear and concise sentence together.
And it drove me crazy that he kept answering her repeated direct questions about the incident with a long-winded statement about the message of the movie because that’s not answering her question and you could tell she knew he was deflecting because she kept going back to ask the question again.
BUT he does look good and that’s what’s important, right?
Don’t like either Tom or Katie but waving to the crowd would have been a lose-lose situation. The people felt snubbed for not being acknowledge but if they did come out and say wave, everyone here in America would say “Who do they think they are, some kind of King and Queen?”.
Honestly though, they should have acknowledged the crowd, after all these people put up Tom and Katie posters up everywhere - BARF - ! Also I wish I could feel sympathy for the crowd but come on! They waited outside in the rain to get a glimpse of GMD and his robot wife! Why were they treating them like royalty in the first place?
Brad and Irfan did a great job setting the record straight!
thanks jared, audrey and alexandrina!
Peace and Love to BAMZS…
this movie is going to be both wonderful….and so very necessary.
