Brad Pitt is on Larry King Live on CNN tonight but if you can’t get CNN, don’t stay up that late, or missed it, I have some video clips of Brad on the show, talking again from New Orleans.
It seems that there should be a longer, full-sized or almost full-sized segment available, but these are all quite short. They’re still better than nothing though.
Larry King asks the tough question as to how Brad Pitt (and Angelina Jolie) balances the desire for privacy with the exposure that comes with his life.
bap- First of all, I don’t think there really is a feud going on between Angie and JA. If there IS one, I think it’s pretty one-sided. While JA MAY feel like there is a feud going on (her comments in Vogue suggest that she might), I seriously doubt Angie feels there is a feud between her and JA.
Angie doesn’t strike me as the type of person who would delibertly hurt anybody, and I honestly don’t think she made her comments because she wanted to hurt JA. I also get the feeling that Angie doesn’t hold anything about JA, think ill of her, or wish her any ill will. In fact, I’m guessing she probably doesn’t even think about her that often (if at all).
All of that said, I do want to point out that the comments of Angie’s that JA referred to in Vogue actually AREN’T recent. Angie made those comments to Vogue (yes, you read that correctly!), very early in 2007. Therefore, it has actually been nearly two years since she made those comments.
As for her comment about the kids getting to see the movie where their parents fell in love….That comment was made in October of this year. Most monthly magazines like Vogue do interviews at least three months in advance of publication, so in all likelyhood the interview with Jen was done in August, which was before Angie made that comment.
Also, it turned out that that comment was taken out of context. In another interview a few weeks later, she made a similar comment, saying “They haven’t seen a lot of our films yet, because they are a little young, but I’m looking forward to them one day discovering Mr and Mrs Smith. They’re going to have a great laugh – to see when their parents actually met, and watch them fall in love and try to kill each other!”
That pretty much makes it clear that she was referring to her and Brad’s characters in the MOVIE falling in love, NOT to her and Brad falling in love in real life!
I agree completely with BlessBrangelina’s comment. That said, it’s amazing to think that they’ve been together for three years and now have five more kids than they did when they first met! I wonder if, back in 2005, they expected to have a total of six kids by now? :)
Victoria, I will be 70 on the twins first birthday. I have been retired for 13 years. My children gave me my computer and now they laughing say now: “We have created a blogging freek”. If any of them or their spouses want to know about the Jolie-Pitts they know where to go. We live with our daughter and her family, so while they are at work or school hubby and I maintain the home, laundry and yard work. But when I am all caught up then I get on the computer. I check CNN and People and then I go to Pittwatch. I feel that even though I don’t know any of you personally, I feel like I have a whole other big group of friends. Some times my husband looks at me a little strange if I get excited about the Jolie-Pitt news that day. As for Brad and Angie they know they need fans, without fans their movies would not do very well. Do they think we are nuts because we read and talk about them, I don’t know. But I firmly believe that if for some crazy reason they were to log on to Pittwatch they would be amazed at the good, intelligent discussions we have here. I believe that none of us feel good when the paps climb over fences, chase them in their cars or put cameras in the childrens faces. We are all happy to see the pictures of them on the red carpets, out walking around in NOLA. I was never a big fan of either one before they got together, but when they became interested in each other and I saw Maddox looking at Brad with so much happiness I became enchanted with them. My family comes first in my thoughts and deeds, but I enjoy seeing and hearing about the Jolie-Pitts. And how else would I have met so many wonderful people from all over the world.
They are what they are, papers or no papers, when their children want them to, when they’re ready to, when all people – women and men can marry women and men of their choosing – they will. My husband and I were man and wife for 9 years before we got married.
Diane: Yes.
A lot of the news sources have started referring to them as such. LA Times did it just today.
I guess they see that that’s what they are, bar the certificate. They are 3 years strong now, 6 times longer than the gossip hounds gave them! :)
when larry said “your wife…” was he referring to angelina?
kim,
I just logged on again and saw your response. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Sherry, Thank you for the explanation about Kim’s comment. I think I have gotten so suspicious about posters who pretend to be fans of the JPs, I have become a little paranoid.
Sorry guys.

Vote for Angie.
I know it sounds selfish and I know that Brad and Angie love each other and plan to be together for life but wouldn’t it be great if they got married. I am an old woman and can not change my old ways.
Apropos godfather: I was surprised to hear this. Do they have their children christened? Or maybe they just call them godparents. We didn´t have our children christened for years (couldn´t decice whether or not we actually wanted to do it), but still chose godparents for the kids. My guess is that that´s what they did.
Kim, I´m not sure how comfortable he is with all this interest. Years ago, before he even married JA, he said that he didn´t understand this interest, and that he does not know anything personal about people he admires. And after he split from JA, I remember an interview where he expressed his total bewilderment about people like us (!), spending our precious time on the Internet, searching for info on him, and yes, blogging about him – he felt it was such a waste of our precious time. The interviewer then pointed out that maybe his life (at that time, his break-up) was some sort of comfort to other people (in the sense that not only they go through personal hardship, he does, too), and he understood that, saying that if his miseries in life help other people in that way that it helps to see one is not alone, then fine, then he´s fine with it (don´t remember the exact wording, but something to that extent). So I don´t know whether his viewpoint changed, and in actual fact he does not contradict himself. He says he sees the interest as a compliment, which really it is, but at the same time, like Sherry said, I don´t think he really gets it, and feels we should spend our time better than that. However, I do enjoy my time searching for info on him, so I still figure it´s all right, since I´m doing no harm to anybody, and since I´m enjoying myself doing it. But a slightly bad feeling remains. I COULD spend this time better. I do spend too much time on the Internet. And judging by some posters here, I can see they are the same, or even “worse”. But hey, this is a fansite. There´s no denying we´re all a little bit insane. As I said before, if my husband knew how much time I really spend surfing the net about BP he´d divorce me, because he just thinks this fascination with celebrities is sick. I would never, ever tell any of my friends that I do visit a fansite on Brad Pitt regularly. Maybe it´s different in America, but in Europe it´s considered really immature. I know a lot of people still do visit these sites, or buy gossip magazines, but it does get looked down upon. So I very much keep this my own “naughty” secret. Anyone else with similar experiences? Mélodie perhaps? After all, you´re also European (I´m German, btw). Do your friends know about your “obsession”? Do they tease you mercilessly?
Sherry, please push this comment through quickly (I know it will end in mod). I´d love to hear some other opinions on it! Thanks!
At one point last night on his interview with Larry, Brad was talking people that he worked with on the movie and mentioned some man’s name and said “he is my son Pax’s godfather. So that goes to prove that they are able to do some things without the press finding out. It would be interesting to know the god parents on the other children.
Keats I agree.
I think it seemed he was hesitant, but it had more to do with the time-lag than a rethinking.
I liked both Ellen and LKL, but loved Larry’s. Because Brad opened up a bit more about home and where he is in his life, priorities etc.
The fact that he admitted both here and on Oprah, that his family is hard work makes him and Angie more human than the tabs would have us believe. AND he’s right he is getting older; he’s 45, more greys and wrinkles are a par for the course. I don’t understand why it’s difficult for people to accept this with him in particular. Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp all have these issues too!
Like Angie I think he welcomes any sign of maturity in his life/features.
*Susan G:
CR confirmed what you said, but we don’t know what dates yet. Keep checking his site though!
I really like the interview with LK. Since these interview are done through satellite feed there is always delays by the time one hears the questions and answering them there is another question out there. Technology crazy!! Brad looks great and not tired looking at all. He seemed a little cold sitting out there. He is really happy about MIR and all that has brought to NO and how he is appreciative to all us that have donated for this wonderful cause.
Apparently he really likes NO and makes no bones about it. Brad has found his niche with himself, Angie and all of his children. It shows it really does.
Fan I agree,that was the highlight of the whole interview for me. Brad did not want to spend the rest of his life selfishly, he wanted to do some good before he leave this earth. We all get to that point as we age, we start thinking about our legacy and the mark we leave on society. Angie pave the way, he saw what his life could be and ran to her. It was very important to him who he share his life with, that should clear up all the questions about the divorce. He dose not say much,just read between the lines,Angie said in W she love being in Brad’s company.
dianad1968,
No sarcasm, I genuinally was concerned that my personal interest in this family (and everyone else) was making them uncomfortable and putting them in harms way which I would never want.
I like this comment Brad made during the LK interview. I think he is talking not only about who he works with, but also who he spents is personal life with. He made his chose 4 years ago, and life goes on.
“So, it really became about, you know, the company I’m keeping. And, you know, as I get older, it just becomes something that’s more and more important to me, who I’m going to spend my time with — much more important than anything else, really.”
dianad1968 – I don’t think Kim was being sarcastic. It is a valid thing to wonder about. I know *I* would feel weird if everyone wanted to know every last detail about my life because why would they? As it is, I’m always amazed that people read my personal blog, follow my flickr stream, and read my twitter updates, so I can just imagine what it’s like to have it on a Brad Pitt scale.
So yes, knowing that Brad doesn’t quite get it but understands it’s just part of his life is good to know.
GO TO PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS WEBSITE AND VOTE FOR ANGELINA AND BRAD.
