OlderBrad 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!

Some people’s vacay must really S*CK!!!!!!

It’s not the vacay that sucks. Besides, “vacation” implies that you had something that you needed a respite from. ShitzyGal has no life, no job, no friends and she was raised by wolves and for some reason the pack keeps moving from place to place. Go figure.

THANKS JJ and Alex!!! He handled it so well. I just love this couple. I really like Irfan as well. I hope he will get casted by Brad in future movies. He really stuck his neck out for Brad and Angie, since they will leave but Irfan lives in India and could tarnish his popularity. He really believed that the media caused this and was willing to speak out. Bravo to both of them….
Someones posts are getting so old. Are you out of medication again. So how is your six week vacation going honey, have you met any crippeled kids lately that you can cut down and make fun of….
4Q - thanks anyway! I’m pretty sure if Jared gets something he’ll post it soon.
Shiloh is covered with a blanket!!! I can hear the naysayers now with their chants. Man, sometimes, it’s exhausting to be a BAMZS fan — we are so popular we are called names, posters just keep coming to this blog to debate us with same old sh*t, etc. It’s a good thing we are tough as is our Brad and Angie.
Thanks Alex for providing j@red the info [vid]!! and thank you j@red for this new thread and pics!!
ahhh! there’s nothing like a fresh thread. i’ll have to wait to watch the video :( but i’m glad that braddy spoke out. i saw the pic of BAMZS leaving india. does anybody know if my beloved mickey is still there? i need to know where to send his no entry boxers…
I just realized that I haven’t seen much of Holly in the last month.
BRAVO, Brad!
Boundaries…such a beautiful thing. :)
ladies, some gnats…eh….buzzard is buzzing around….it needs blood…..should we smack it and kill it or just let it buzz around until it gets tired??? let us know coz sometimes i just get tired of the buzzing on my ears i want to smack down this ho!!!

You know…you should take your head out of X’s ass occasionally. If you did then you’d know that X is happy Brad dumped her for Angie. Afterall, X has VV and a stellar movie career now…oh wait…no she doesn’t…she doesn’t have either of those things. Well…my bad…BUT…she’s got YOU and your support and that’s all that really matters. I hope you keep her warm at night. Now there’s a mental image I really didn’t need….
Hey Guys, I truly respect Angelina (foremost) & Brad, BUT there is actually a possibility that respectable people hire “un-respectable” people. From what I’ve heard some of the bodyguards were hired from England which is known for being a country with a huge Indian population with a fairly bad reputation among racists. Consider: 1) Did Brangelina ask questions such as “are u a bigot” when they hired the guards (did they even conduct a jobinterview??) 2) How many real bigots would answer “Yes” to that question if they wanted/needed the job? It’s easy for celebrities to talk about how tolerant they are, that doesn’t necessarily have to involve their whole “working-staff”…
I like how BP came out in the interview, speaking candidly, from the heart. He spoke like a man concerned about the issue, not like someone lecturing from the podium. I would rather hear him hesitate than listening to a news reader.
oh JENAVEVE…..ur one of a kind…hehe……..perhaps ud never sleep since the divorced.
At this point, I see JA as such a manipulative, two faced, cold hearted person that I wouldn’t even mind hearing if Brad did infact did cheat. ****** deserved it for the misery she put Brad through. Who could blame Brad for wanting to leave and get out while he could. JA sucks the life out of everybody and everything, even Vince looked happier partying London without her presence.
Thanks Alex! Thanks Jared!

PT -please stop, I am going to develop a stomach ache , I laugh so hard!!
I allready chuckled when 4 Q sickened Shitzy…and now YOU come and crack me up again, lol.
About the interview:
-Brad is saying , although in convoluted words- that he suspects there was more at play that simply paps and idiotic school and fretful parents—basically, that the movie’s terrorists portrayal was what really pissed some pro-terror group and they used the BAMZS, the movie, the whole situation to create an incident and besmirck the actors, producer and AMH even before it’s finished filming.
And Irfan sated that ABsolutely they and the bods weren’t EVEN near the gates when the shouts started…
-”Angelina and I”…”Me and Angelina..”…man, doesn’t he sound like a hubbie in love and perfect comfort with his partner???Looved it.
- and loved the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about the kids, the importance they hold in his priorities and…..and then he licked his lips AND I FORGOT TO FOLLOW WHAT HE SAID :lol:

That’s a possibility and its also a possibility that the bodyguards were falsely accused. And since paparazzi were swarming around set all day long and didn’t get any of this on camera is reason enough for me to give the bodyguards the benefit of the doubt.
I had hoped that the Reese W and Ryan P split would somehow take the spotlight off of this couple — after all, calling Ryan an adulterer would have been so right because there was proof of him cheating, and not just with one but with a lot of women. But it seems that as far as Brad and Angie go, the X’s fans are really stuck in a time loop (the Star Trek fan in me, sorry) and they keep reliving the same time frame over and over again and never advance forward.

***************************************
Brad and Angelina’s have known there personal bodygaurds for quite a long time. It doesn’t take a long time to be with a person to figure out their true character, especially when they travel with you everywhere and you see how they act in times of stress. Mickey has worked with Angelina since she did Tomb Raider, by now if she had any problems with his behavior she would have gotten rid of him already.
