Brad Pitt’s Exclusive Interview on the Bodyguard Controversy

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!

Hope Pitt Gets His Own Identit @ 11/20/2006 at 3:19 pm

Ha, recently got reported that Jen Aniston was invited to the Pitt family Thanksgiving dinner! There biotches, his FAMILY likes her and still wants to have a relationship with her, so stop talking your shiot that he’s better off without her.
The only reason he got bored of her was because he needed another host body to latch onto so he could suck some of Jolie’s identity too. It’s a only a matter of time before Pitt catches Jolie in the sack with that chick she likes to do the nasty with…maybe he’ll join in, maybe he’ll run and get a vial of blood so she can become more interested in him, maybe he’ll sleep with Billy Bob and they can ALL do it. In the end, the kids are being baby-sat by her crazy dad Jon Voight. And by the way, how she hid from Voight at Caan’s b-day party was hilarious. You can save the world huh sweetie but can’t mend fences with your own daddy! Just sad just so sad. All you Pitt lovers out there, do you actually see how old he’s gotten w/those big old bags and lines around his eyes, or do you just pretend that they’re not there? Just wondering, ‘cuz he’s gotten old and ugly, he probably has an old man tooshy.

WARNING WARNING ALERT ALERT —- Hope Pitt Gets His Own Identity is a true tabloid reader and disgusting to boot!

I'm observant too :D @ 11/20/2006 at 3:22 pm

hmmm: he was not a “nobody”. He was a big deal of course, but because of genetics, to use his own words.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So he was nominated for a golden globe for his genetics? He’s getting praise for his latest work in Babel for his genetics? He has a successful production company because of his genetics? He maintained his status in a fickle industry like hollywood because of his genetics? There’s plenty of pretty faces in L.A. that think they are the next best thing. It takes more than genetics and looks to stay in Hollywood and remain among the A list of stars for 15 years straight, honey.

I didn’t know having an opinion equals hatred, but again, with your small and simple mind, you’re making no sense. Also, there you go again with the cursing. You previously sounded like a 5-year old but typical 5-year olds do not curse…I bet you’re a teenager staying home from school ‘cuz again, ya just aint’ gettin’ it sweetie. So write it down, take a picture, and look it up in the dictionary because it’s called an OPINION…please, spell it right when you look it up, please.

Just Asking @ 11/20/2006 at 3:23 pm

What does the term “pinoy” mean?

Same old same old @ 11/20/2006 at 3:24 pm

Hope Pitt Gets His Own Identity Says:

DELETE. What was that? I didn’t hear you. Oh well. I guess you didn’t have anything important to say.

When oh when will these silly beyootches stop reading the tabloids? WTF reported that the X was invited to thanksgiving? Was it Life & Style? In Touch? Star? And you silly gooses believed it? It is widely known that the X did not spend much time in Springfield, MO when she was still married to Brad. Now her and Huvane are milking that Jane Pitt angle to the death!!!

I'm observant too :D @ 11/20/2006 at 3:26 pm

Someone’s had there faces stuck staring at tabliods . Aniston invited to thanksgiving at the Pitt family home huh? What’s next? She’s pregnant with VV’s spawn? HAHAHAHAHA!

Just Asking:

Pinoy is someone, usually male, who is from the Philippines. It is a short form of Pilipino. The women are usually called Pinay.

OMG do the Anuston fans not read anything but tabloids? Has Jane issued a statement to the press that I’m not aware of? How ridiculous and naive can fanistons be? Even some common sense would do in the absence of intelligence. My god people don’t you know, X is going to VV’s mom’s for T-day!!!

I'm observant too :D @ 11/20/2006 at 3:28 pm

Scratch that, Brad was nominated for an Oscar. Wait, I forgot the term “Oscar” doesn’t exist in the Faniston’s small dictionary of words. Poor Poor pitiful fanistons.

Desert Chick @ 11/20/2006 at 3:28 pm

KIKI & same old same old….
you’re right, I’m bias…I have an opinion that doesn’t match yours and because of this, people automatically label you a “Pitt hater.” And by the by, the bodyguards were ARRESTED, were they not? That speaks for itself as well as many parents whom have no vested interest with Pitt/Jolie themselves.

Folks, it’s called an O P I N I O N and some people on here that are disagreeing with me are doing it in a great way…by making their point, not trashing mine.

The job of the media is to create news even when there is none. Any smart person would have seen the pattern here. When superstars travel out of their countries to other parts of the world, the media put word into people’s mouth to create the needed news, they did it in Madonna’s adoption, they did it with Brad and Angie and they are trying to do it with Tom. What does it take? Ask someone in the crowd whether they are happy to have many people around and the person says no and then they broadcast it all over the world that the locals are unhappy because a particular star is around. When are we going to wisen up and call out the media on this instead of attacking these stars. If there is a stampede, how do you clearly identify who did what? Journalists are there from all over the world. The foreigner referred to in Brad and Angie’s case could have been any foreigner. Brad has interviewed his bodyguards, based on what they told him, he denied the allegations. There is also nothing of that nature caught on tape????

OK Jared, we really need part 4 which is the best part. PLEASE…..

Max- Oh I can take her on any day. She knows I have saved her most ugliest posts regarding Elena’s sons, Ivy’s son and my son. I can start posting them on every blog that she goes to… Trust me it would make even the X fans and haters disgusted……if they are human after all…..

Jolie4ever @ 11/20/2006 at 3:30 pm

bamzs 4-ever - I didn’t go anywhere but, I could use a vacation though - Hawaii would be a good place :)

Anyway, I lurk most of the time so I don’t post that much…how are you???

Brad gets grilled

Damn.

We need more journalists like this in North America.

Seriously, do you ever find yourself frustrated? Frustrated at all of them? Barbara, Diane, Oprah – especially Oprah – for letting celebrities off too easy during interviews? Do you ever feel like they don’t “go for it”? That they don’t ask the right questions, that they don’t press the way you’d like them to?

If so, you will find this woman a refreshing breath of air – an Indian reporter who had the exclusive opportunity to interview Brad Pitt about his racist bodyguard fiasco and who did NOT accept the regular spin for an answer.

I mean she would NOT LET UP. When he wanted to talk about his movie, she pressed on about the issue. When he wanted to talk about his own personal views and those of Angelina and the crew and the theme of the movie, she CUT HIM OFF and really made sure to get her point across.

I loved every uncomfortable second.

And you will too. Especially if you’re a Brad fan… because you know what? It was a tough interview, it was a tough interviewer, and still he did it. Still he didn’t hide behind his publicist, he allowed himself to be put in the hotseat for almost half an hour, to answer allegations over and over again – trust me when I tell you, having personally interviewed celebrities, this does not happen every day. In fact, FEW stars, even the minor ones, would be allowed or be willing to be put into such an exposed position to say nothing of a someone with Brad Pitt’s stature.

Was he on a mission? Was he assigned to damage control?

Absolutely!

But how many celebrities are willing to place control over damage control in the hands of an aggressive journalist?

You be the judge, watch the entire interview at JustJared and check out photos of yet another weekend outing with the kids.

The Brad Bandana is the hotness. As is the tender way he’s talking to his oldest daughter. And to those who keep asking about The Chosen One and why she doesn’t get to come – I’m told it’s just not practical to bring her along on “toddler type” excursions complete with boatrides and long walks among crowds – car seat, stroller, diaper bag…you get the drift. Given they’re only gone for 5 or 6 hours max, it’s really not that big of a deal, especially with the luxury of a nanny, and then there’s also the added benefit of spending alone time with the Madd and Z.

Finally - that ridiculous report about Angie being pregnant? Look at the size of her flat chest…

If she is pregnant, she’s certainly not showing ANYwhere.

I'm observant too :D @ 11/20/2006 at 3:30 pm

X would be invited to VV’s mom’s home for thanksgiving IF she was actually dating him. But Vinnie boy seems to be having a grand ole’ doing his own thing without her.

Jolie4ever @ 11/20/2006 at 3:30 pm

brb from lurking I am off to lunch

It is obvious that for the folks who hate him, for leaving their beloved, they will latch on to anything, I think Brad did a wonderful job, one thing that came through was his honesty, he did have his pub tell him what to say, he spoke from his heart, I don’t think Mickey and the others said what they are accused off , I think a certain section of media was pissed off for not getting into the press conference, new that Brad and Angie were leaving and created this situation. I think if Brad and Angie continue using Mickey and Co they will open themselves up to more problems, I love Brad and Angie to death, but I think they need to get rid of Mickey, too much stuff has happened with him.

ITA….no proof….no evidence….it’s all allegations and someone or a group is trying to sabotage the filming of this movie!!

Ha, recently got reported that Jen Aniston was invited to the Pitt family Thanksgiving dinner!

I think we have a L&S reader here.

from the mailbag @ 11/20/2006 at 3:32 pm

oh how Jennifer Aniston is not the PAST TENSE …. more biles and foaming oozzing out.

This was from People’s mailbag :
(this was headlined and bolded in RED ) :)

“I love People and look forward to it every Friday , but enough already with Jennifer Aniston”

“Are you kidding me? How bold and noble of Jen and Vince to defend the genuineness of their relationship against the - gasp! - churning rumor mill. But I’d rather read about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Helping the world’s most vulnerable people recover from poverty and illness. What have Jen and Vince done to contribute the way Pitt and Jolie have? Nothing to deserve a cover story .”
