Here’s a small piece of news, if you’ve been waiting for another chapter in the ongoing saga, Angelina Jolie & Jack O’Connell Are Having An Affair While Brad Runs Away & Cries. Just FYI: I don’t believe Angelina and Jack are having an affair or had an affair in the past. I do not believe that Jack gave her chickenpox while they were banging at the Beverly Wilshire. I do not believe that Jack and Angelina are going to run off together and Zahara will soon be going by Zahara O’Connell. But it’s a fun game, isn’t it?
Anyway, this story actually is not a piece of tabloid fiction. On the red carpet for the premiere of Unbroken on Monday night in LA, Jack wore a three-piece suit and an old-fashioned pocket watch. He told reporters that Angelina had given him the pocket watch as a gift during filming, and she had it inscribed “BOMBS AWAY, O’Connell, 2013”. That’s really nice, right? Here’s a close-up of the pocket watch:
O’Connell also spoke about meeting Louis Zamperini and getting his blessing for the film. It’s interesting to note that not only did Angelina’s extended family attend Monday night’s premiere, but the extended Zamperini family also came out for the film. Louis’s kids adore Angelina and they’re very proud of the film she made. And they’ve brought Jack into the Zamperini fold as well. Luke Zamperini – Louis’s son – wrote a passionate defense of Angelina’s treatment of Louis’ born-again faith this week too – go here to read.

But did Brad burst into heaving sobs, stomp his foot, and run out of the room crying?
If not, sorry. No story here then.
I’m sure he got a pocket watch of his own to play with.
Hahaha best thing I’ve read all day!
He launched himself from a distance into his bed, and then flipped his feet like a swimmer, whilst sobbing into a pillow. I actually had a roommate who did this once: DRAMA QUEEN.
As to the watch: In a way it’s nice and in another way, it’s kind of cheesy. The guy acted in a role, he didn’t actually serve.
Talk about awkward. I’ve dealt with living with guys who just go to a completely dramatic place when upset as if people aren’t watching twice now and I still can’t do much except stare in amazement and back away slowly. One guy went so far as to ripping up a deck of cards and then sitting at his desk in silence after he screwed up a card trick.
Oh my, you guys need body cameras to capture all of these moments for our entertainment. Laughing so hard.
LOL. Poor guy is always running and crying, according to the tabloids.
Don’t forget Brad then jumped on his motorcycle, while sobbing uncontrollably and sped away from the house.
Angie also gave gifts to her Blood and Honey cast and crew.
While he was crying into Janiston’s cellphone, pouring out his broken heart to her and thus rekindling their love for each other…
That article by Zamperini’s son is so sweet.
+1. I hope the people who are complaining, read it and take it to heart.
they can’t be close if she spelled his name wrong. or is it their own private joke?
i finally watched the MoMA post-screening panel. for some reason i found Jack’s quip about Domnhall lost so much weight even his eyeballs got skinny was so funny.
i actually like him as Bill Weasley.
Very good point. I can only see one ‘n’ on that watch back.
What is it supposed to mean?
Tasteless.
Maybe she meant the film was a bomb?
BURN.
*I’m just gonna leave this here*

NICE one, ladies. 😀
“bombs away” it’s a signal that the bombardier has finished doing his job (unloading the bombs out of the bomb bay doors and onto the targets–typically said after the last bomb is dropped or when the bay doors are closed again), and that the pilot is now free to move the plane away from the target and probably go back to base.
so i guess the watch was given after the wrap, and it is a shorthand saying that his job’s done?
LOL!! Poor Brad! All that hot sexiness faded with time, even for Brad Pitt! (just kidding).
Read that Jack’s mom got on famously with Brad when they met at their home in France, so I am sure they are fine. As long as Mr.Zamparini’s kids like the movie, Jolie has won!
But but … “Bombs away”?!
It is a common term used by fighting/flying staff. My dad used to say that to us growing up before a test (you’re done studying, all you can do now is go do it)… And in other occasions. I totally get it but it’s not common slang for civilians, I guess.
I took it more to be a statement of “Filming is over, get ready for the sudden and extreme drop into the public frenzy you signed up for making a movie with me”. Which seems almost like both a warning and a “Hope you find it worthwhile” from a woman who knows her every move is relentlessly followed.
I don’t think Jolie’s having an affair with O’Connell either. She did say in an interview that (she and Brad “we make sure we never limit each other” or something to that effect, meaning that they’re allowed to see other people.
I don’t think she is either. Affairs take energy and that means she may actually have to eat!!
Meow!!
I’m actually reading the book now (which is excellent) and Louie would say “bombs away!” once all the bombs were deployed. Little be bit of trivia for ya.
