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!

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.

=========================================
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.

Its a good thing Angie covered Shiloh with a blanket, because when I saw Katie and Tom with Suri’s video those flashing of lights got Suri irritated (she’s kinda shock i think)….

Yeah Holly is MIA for weeks good to see her again with Angie. :)

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…. Guli
========================

I think Irfan did the honorable thing, saying what he thinks is the truth. His career may suffer, but he will be able to look at himself in the mirror in the morning for the rest of his life, and not feeling shame.

Chinnefer’s jealous fans must be so frustrated about there being no news of her here lately.

Why is it that JenHens always post re the so-called “adultery” and yet they deny being X fans. You’d think they would be proud to admit it, but they never do!!!

Jenaveve— you ARE ShitzyGal..now bnog off, BLOODY pest…go keep company to dykeAniston patrolling on the prison beat–you only got 2 min left on the pc..how about using them to abuse some other kids and leave us the F00k alone?

Or I’m gonna sick PT and guli and 4Q and Maniston on you

:lol: :lol: he can always wear those fancy Indian pants you know….the one with the strings….like a strip tease show… 8)

BTW, thanks 4Q for the pic with Holly. :)

Oh, shitzy,please..has the mental ward open again the computers?
You’re no fan- no friend of anyone..
You crave attention and we siick to death of you and your “french” :roll: nicks.

The real lou @ 11/20/2006 at 2:52 pm

Um,you guys should really ignore Jenaveve.It would be a shame to spend the afternoon on a under-cover faniston.

Desert Chick @ 11/20/2006 at 2:52 pm

I’m sorry but some people might have a different opinion, other than the married wives and homosexual men obviously drooling over acne-scarred Pitt.
This has nothing to do with JA, just about Pitt…I suggest the people in denial GET OVER IT already. Yes he’s good looking, yes he’s highly overpaid but c’mon.
This was scripted and he failed miserably, where were his acting talents when he needed ‘em? Obviously this is a PR move, nothing else. Do you think that he TRULY knows what happened, he isn’t the victim, those children are. And who is to blame? Yep, the paparazzi & know, Pitt has gotten himself in the mix. I completely agree that respectable people can hire dishonest people and that is exactly why he shouldn’t have done this. HE wasn’t accused of racial slurs, their bodyguards were…and with all the media attention that his/her bodyguards have been rec’g lately, he shoulda just fired his butt.

C’mon, Pitt and Jolie have the resources to help people out…as they should and as Jolie admitted, hey are paid ridiculous amounts of money for doing what they do, but you Pitt-Lovers out there are so jaded. He’s not Mother Theresa, I understand that he shouldn’t be persecuted out there for what happened with JA (because nobody knows whose to blame, both sides have their version) but I’m not about to put him on a pedestal and call him Christ either. Gimme a break, wisen up and stop licking your computer monitors wishing that he were yours. He’s done this with all his chicks, all of ‘em, he’s mimicked ALL OF THEM in some way and I feel bad that he needs to do this, and for his childrens sake, I hope that him and Jolie never break up and they live a happy life. He just shouldn’t have done this, this was completely scripted, he’s even stuttering a lot and I’m embarrassed for him!

Jolie4ever @ 11/20/2006 at 2:52 pm

Thanks ALEXANDERINA and JJ for the videos…I have to wait til I am home to watch them :(

hello to every one and to my fellow pinoys!!! Happy Monday y’all!!!

I see the ocean screamers are out in full force :lol: :lol:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

jjoy

no no! those are much too loose! easy access! we’re trying to prevent mickey from entering the prag-hood!

Female first loonies team has moved on-site.
Hello, lena and TK and Vaj…nice to know your obsession with BAMZS is so strong that you GOTTA post something, ANYTHING, to get our attention :lol:
SO: how’s the screaming going??Did the ocean answer back??:lol:

Good interview and may they have a safe journey to where ever they’re going next.

Off-topic:All right, so Time is going to choose their “Person of the Year” they have a panel to help determine it. Here are the folks in this panel Arianna Huffington, Brian Williams, Emilio Estevez, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, and Tom DeLay…WTF? lol Isn’t he supposed to be in court, jail or something? I kid, I kid. :) Anyway they must suggest a person who “most affected the news and our lives this year, for good or for ill.” So, what would y’all suggestions?

asaragena @ 11/20/2006 at 2:55 pm

Desert Chick —- Why don’t you SHUT THE FU! Sanctimonious up to the wazoo I say….

4Q..not fair..we thought same thoughts..!!!

That was a TOUGH TOUGH interview, and Brad took it. Answering truthfully, no spin, no cover, no publicist, just exposed, and he took it. It really makes him look strong and a responsible man who is protecting the important issue at heart, and his family.

Many thanks Jared and Audrey for the videoclips! I must admit, that i could hardly concentrate on Brad’s words, because i was mesmerized by him. So all this debate whether he struggled for words or not, etc, seems oh so superficial to me lol. Brad, you don’t have to explain anything, just look at us and we believe that black is white and Ritzygal is normal.
On a more serious note, I love that Brad defended the bodyguards, this is what a good boss MUST do. And I’m sure that the incident was blown out of proportion, and the whole situation was not that bad, just the Indian police had a power trip. They do it with their own stars, shame on them. And Brad was shrewd enough to do a little promotion of the movie, very good move.
I respect Irfan very much, he is a brave and honorable man. All hope is not lost wheny there are such good people in the world.
All in all, I’m happy they leave India.
