OlderBrad Pitt Goes on ‘Parade’
Brad Pitt tells Parade that one thing that is certain are his kids, Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 16 months. Here are some snippets from his interview:
On his increasing doubt in religion as he got older: “I had crises of faith. I thought you had to experience things if you want to know right from wrong. I’d go to Christian revivals and be moved by the Holy Spirit, and I’d go to rock concerts and feel the same fervor. Then I’d be told, ‘That’s the Devil’s music! Don’t partake in that!’ I wanted to experience things religion said not to experience.”
On having scuttled his fundamentalist beliefs by the time he entered college: “When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self,” he says. “I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”
On his faith in his family: “What’s important to me is that I’ve defined my beliefs and lived according to them and not betrayed them. One of those is my belief in my family. I still have faith in that.”
On his early taste with fame: “When fame really hit me was when ‘Legends of the Fall’ was released. You get no warning about what celebrity is or how to deal with it. It’s sort of multitiered. The initial stage is feeling discombobulated and not up to the task. I didn’t understand the incessant attention when I went outside, the way people completely focused on me. It made me very uncomfortable. Then you start to see the fickleness of celebrity that it isn’t rooted in something of real value. There is this strange wanting by people to get next to you. It has nothing to do with you but with something they feel they are missing in themselves.”
On the crazy paparazzi: “I understand the tabloid machine. There’s money to be made off of Angie and me, but it has gotten so out-of-hand. There’s no decency, even when it comes to our kids. I mean, yesterday Angie was taking Maddie off to school. There were 30 paparazzi outside. One guy sticks a video camera in Mad’s face, yelling, ‘Maddox! Maddox!’ He doesn’t get a response. He doesn’t know my boy. Mad is already savvy to this, unfortunately. But my 2-year-old dreads being anyplace there are cameras. It scares her. They’re all in her face. My kids are faced with this every day! It’s disgusting. So we’ve been run out of L.A., all the major cities. We just can’t live there. You don’t understand–this is the hunt, the hunt, the hunt! I thought it might be over a year ago. It’s gotten worse.”

Hey Guli, I’m still waiting for PT’s response on whether i lose my badge or not. I think she might be consulting the elders on this one…I totally understand why this is a big deal, I mean I forgot BLD…BLD!!! If that’s not grounds to have my badge revoked, i don’t know what is. I’m just hoping they’ll give me a second chance, you know and if you don’t mind putting in a good word for me, I’ll so appreciate it.
Isn’t it nice that the Fanistons have come to entertain us on this day of celebration? What lovely thing to do.
Didn’t Brad say on a TV interview that Angelina is his GREAT LOVE and A FANTASTIC MOTHER already?
What else do you want him to do? Repeat that over and over and over?
Why does this man have to repeat himself and explain himself to the media over and over again?
Why don’t you get it? For once and for all HE LOVES ANGELINA. And there is nothing you haters can do about it. THE END.
I cannot describe how much I love Brad Pitt. This man is a dreamboat and a fantasy. He is absolutely beautiful in and out.
Yooo trolls are you enjoying responding to yourselves must be sooo much fun! So what happened to the OB thread ehhhh????
Pathetic things….Now listen carefully you tried for THREE YEARS and the fact is there is nothing you can do about it,they are together and will stay together OK????
Soooooo if you want to be miserable go right ahead as we party and celebrate this GORGEOUS, LOVING, TALENTED, HUMANITARIAN COUPLE :lol: :lol: :lol:

“Once again, you are taking things to the extreme. Do you enjoy drama or something?”
I guess asking valid questions and giving a response to your post makes me extreme…fine.
“But they can do as much as possible to shield their children from it. By the way, the paps did seem more respectful during photo ops where Brad’s mother was involved.”
I guess Brad’s mom is trying to get into HW too b/c spending time out with your grandchildren is a photo op now, right?LMAO and GMAFB! The paps was yelling at the kids then too, so if that’s being respectful then I hate to know what your def. of disrespectful is.
Are you a celebrity? I’ll answer for you…NO,so you don’t have a clue on what would be easier for them or not but I get it now b/c anything I’ll say, you’ll just twist it to make sense to you. Neither you or I know these people personally but it’s clear that they are doing the very best with what the situation calls for but people like yourself who see them out taking a walk or eating ice cream as a photo op instead of a family doing what regular families do daily. But I guess it is against the law to take your children out and do normal things with them to help them feel normal in an abnormal world they live in.
I love when the trool answer and agrees with himselves.:lol: :lol:

The paps should leave the kids alone but I don’t feel sorry for Brangelina because I’m sure they know from their many travels that being photographed isn’t as bad as extreme poverty and genocide.

If I “Twist” then you “Twist” also. We are just twisting in opposite directions. Let’s just agree to disagree. We aren’t going to convince each other to change our viewpoints and I’m not interested or available to have a three hour back and forth. Nor, I hope, are you. Let’s just walk away. Sound good?

In their world Brad doesn’t love Angelina, Angelina doesn’t loves Brad and they are very unhappy. And the though of this makes them:very happy! Sick people!
Really cool interview (except for the bit where he tells how his children are everything to him……WE KNOW THAT BRAD!)
But the paparazzi thing really disgusts me…….all these actors should come together and actually do something real against them.
Scaring little children like that- there is just no excuse.
Here in Vienna something like that would never happen.
all the losers are here today trying to cause trouble,we all know brad loves angelina,haters always try to put doudt in every positive things to do with angie and brad .i will be so happy when the x finds someone,she wouldn’t even had got brad if G.P.hadn’t dumped brad she was just in the right place,and her ass is still hanging on i’m sick of her,x fans think she is better than anyone,when she tells everyone she slept with brad first date,she doesn’t sound like no miss goody two shoes she sound to me like a two bit wh–re.

He doesn’t love her, that very clear. He defend Jen, he defends his mom, and cringes everytime
*********************************************
THERE WAS NO DECLARATION EITHER THAT HE LOVED JEN. THEIR MARRIAGE WAS PURELY A MERGER. HAH!!!
Brad looks bad
Oh and- just one thing…..
