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!

see TABLOID SAYS didn’t trash anyone, they made their opinion and did a good
job…that’s what I’m referring to, you can have a different opinion and that I can respect.

I'm observant too :D @ 11/20/2006 at 3:34 pm

Calling Bharkha “the okra of India ” is an insult to Bharkha. She’s a great interviewer and Brad really held his own.

Sometimes I want to kill Lainey but I agree with her on this:

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.

oh no….i like the pink man….he’s been with jolie and he’s always been concern about her safety and the safety of this family….i know that some of his actions put him in trouble with the paps and these paps makes him look bad which is the way they wanted in the first place to get rid of him…..so it will be like because you make me look bad to the public that’s why i will let you go for you to look for another job….i don’t think angie and brad are that shallow that they are more concern about their image and not the loyalty of their employees….jmho!!!

I’m observant too :D: I thought you were angry at my post, but then noticed your cute handle.

So he was nominated for a golden globe for his genetics? Probably not.

He’s getting praise for his latest work in Babel for his genetics? Partly yes, and partly it was publicity for the show, and partly it was because people like him because of his genetics, and what he’s done with Jolie… all the causes.

He has a successful production company because of his genetics? Partly genetics, and partly wealth, and partly the combined of the two which creates power.

He maintained his status in a fickle industry like hollywood because of his genetics? Partly is.

It takes more than genetics and looks to stay in Hollywood and remain among the A list of stars for 15 years straight, honey. –But not much more. Genetics brings popularity. Then you get hooked to a beautiful and controversial woman. Those all help to maintin your a-list status.

True, there are a lot of genetically beautiful people in Hollywood who never gets to where he did in terms of popularity, which is what I don’t understand. And I’m sure, fans here can pick up this last part of my post and twist and attack me over all I’ve said. I never care about BP’s acting ability. I like Matt Damon’s acting much better, for instance. Clive Owen is another, good looking and pretty good in acting.

As to what you wrote about us equating Pitt to Christ, are you really that stupid? Well, maybe you are. You have never seen any post which slightly resemble anything written that said anything like that and you know it. So please stop lying, that isn’t necessary. We have many posts which said that he is agood man. But You don’t want to accept it at all and with your mentality, I can easily see why you talk as low class as you do. I can’t believe you dont understand what we said , perhaps you did get past 2nd grade after all!

You are pathetic, and I find it amusing as well as amazing, but I do see a cause for concern for your mental outlook of negative thinking if this is your main existence in the world. You are pitiful and pathetic! Please, stop watching so much Jerry Springer, or appearing on that show.

Angelina breathed, it is recorded, Brad coughed it is recorded. Show us the video of the bodyguards using racial slurs, it is not available!!!!!!! News sensationalism!!!!

Observer Says: November 20th, 2006 at 3:41 pm - well good for u

crybabyAniston @ 11/20/2006 at 3:46 pm

Jared, are we going to get the rest of the interview or is this it? Thanks again for posting the videos. I though Brad did a good job with a tough interviewer…she wanted him to focus on the alleged misbehavior of his bodyguards. She control the interview not Brad Pitt. It was a tough interview and Brad did a great job, but are we going to see the rest of the interview?

And the point of your long winded post is….? I mean if he was stuttering….it leaves room for the possibility that it wasn’t scripted, right?

The man is too hot for words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that even possible to be that good looking?

(And so decent of a man). Yum.

Oh you haters just wait for part 4. Lainey sweetheart, it was NOT the entire interview, the best is yet to come where he call”Angie inspires me” Hey haters put that in your pipes and smmoke it :lol: :lol: :lol:

“opinion” in all the dictionaries I know of is NOT lying!!!! So ROTLMAF, so the X is invited to the Pitt’s this is a flat out lie not an opinion you idiot……. Yep, I am sure they did just that. OK how old are you how many kids do you have???? NO MOTHER would side with an X of almost 2 years. All LOVING mothers will side with their kids and grandkids, of course you X fans are a different breed aren’t you!!!!!

OK, I am done with the haters, they will be crawing under theirs rocks pretty soon. When our beloved BAMZS arrive home, AJ has to do alot PR work for Good Shepard, BP will start filming in NO and over seeing the NO Green project. Oh, that reminds me X fans and haters, what is she doing other than taking care of Norman and Dolly , or calling paps to cover her so called arrival from London.

Desert Chick, you are not such a ’special friend’ of mine where I would give you enough slack in not disputing what I see is an obvious and wrong bias. This is a blog, we discuss and dispute. If you can’t defend you position with real facts or take the heat of criticism then hit the road jack.

African Girl @ 11/20/2006 at 3:56 pm

Okay…Lainey geeeeeeeeets on my last nerve but I have to agree with her. Watching that interview was like watching a tennis match…. The woman had a really strong serve but BP had a better return. GOOD.FOR.YOU.BRAD.PITT!!!

Desert Chick @ 11/20/2006 at 3:56 pm

GUPTA, huH? What? Yes, some people put him on a pedestal and treat him as if he is perfect…okay, I don’t know what else you wrote, it was kinda incoherent.

AFRICAN GIRL, long winded posts? Just writing my opinion sweetie, if it’s too long, don’t read it but I can understand your point about his stuttering…from my point of view though, if it was from the heart, no matter if it was scripted or not, he wouldn’t be stuttering imho…I respect your point of view though, well put.

(((New Thread Alert!!)))

Can u all just let the OCEAN SCREAMERS keep screaming…… :lol: :lol:

U IDIOTS NEED TO GET A LIFE @ 11/20/2006 at 4:03 pm

FYI: THERE’S A WAR GOING ON IN IRAQ.

You focking people are focking sad…there are all these issues going on in the world today are you’re arguing/babbling about Brad “I like to naked yoga” Pitt and
Angelina “I’ll fock your man just as I did with Laura Dern/Jen Aniston and then I’ll lie about it” Jolie?

U r a bunch of focking dorks. U cant ever git his ****-a-DOODLE-doo, so what r u all yapping about. get a life idiots, this is focking ridiculous and sad. most of u r probably at work at Wal Mart or something, i bet ur testing out their computers huh u dorks

Remember all the following:—

1) Many paparazzis were here on the scene. Yet NONE has a picture or recording of the slurs. Please refer to splash video. A video does not lie. go to splashvideo.com and check this . No one was hurt.

2) It is one man’s word against the other.

3) A judge has to hear both sides of the story.

4) No one was hurt.

5) It’s one Indian man who complained.

U IDIOTS NEED TO GET A LIFE Says:

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Hey, don’t reply to desert or whatever, she just wants attention like certain celebs.

Tough interview or not, Brad was good, still he could talk a lot about the movie, though the Indian Oprah insisted on other things, but who cares? Brad was able to get across his message, and it shows that he is not some coward or pampered Hollywood star (like man others including the one who shall not be named, but was crying all night when another hag called her ordinary looking.)

Fair enough, I agree with you guys, there is a possibility that everything is made up considering the guards BUT as long as it’s only a possibility and not a fact I don’t think that one should be naive: sometimes it takes awhile before people show their true colours and some of the guards are not exactly family, they were hired a few weeks or months ago. U don’t have to believe the accusations, but Brangelina might also have hired the wrong people (as George Clooney said in an interview referring to some of their guards)…

Desert Chick -

What is it that you dont understand??? Like I said, no one equate Pitt as Christ. are you on meth, that you cant even read? or you havent finish hi school.

Yeah, I got it, you are Jennifer Aniston’s disciples.

Desert Chick –

Jennifer Aniston doesnt know you….you are pathetic !!!!

go back and worship your idol Aniston, you are just like her, a fraud, a liar.
