Is Brad Pitt jealous of Angelina’s bodyguard?


Brad Pitt may be jealous of the former murder suspect who is running Angelina Jolie’s security force. Angelina calls the head of her security team, Mickey Brett, her “rock,” and seems to relinquish control to the man who has been her bodyguard since 2001. She’s supposedly even asked him to be Shiloh’s godfather:

The 42-year-old actor is reportedly angry the mother of his new daughter has been spending so much time with her burly minder Mickey Brett, 49, who she describes as her “rock”.

Brett has been protecting the ‘Tomb Raider’ actress and the couple’s adopted children – Maddox, 4, and 16-month-old Zahara – during the family’s stay at Namibia’s Burning Short Lodge where Angelina prepared for the birth of new baby Shiloh Nouvel.

A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “It’s a platonic relationship but Brad gets jealous because she lets Mickey help her out of cars and allows him to tell her to rest up – something he isn’t allowed to do.”

Angelina, 30, has asked the minder, who she sees as her baby’s spiritual guardian, to become godfather to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

The source added: “Angelina is a tough woman who hates guys patronising her but there’s something about the way Mickey looks after her that she likes.”

If that’s true it doesn’t bode well for Pitt, who’s been widely blasted for serving as Angelina’s nanny, adopting her hobbies and interests, and generally catering to her every whim. Angelina may seem like she wants a “yes” man, but wimpy guys are easily discarded. Brad may look like less of a man when compared to a tough security guard who can set limits with Angelina.

Mickey Brett is considered a thug and is said to be responsible for the heavy-handed tactics of the Jolie-PItt security force in Namibia. Journalists have been followed, threatened, and beaten senseless for trying to get pictures of the famous family. Brett was suspected in the 1993 hiring death of a British tycoon, but was eventually cleared of charges due to lack of evidence

Pitt is said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa, and it’s reported that he plans to move the family back to the states in early July so that he can start work on “Oceans 13.”

    My theory on this is that this bodyguard may not be romantically involved with Angie but is a male who is involved as a friend and near family member. They are probably very close, he is probably very doting and protective in a fatherly way and over the years of him protecting her and her children they are very close. Brad as the boyfriend wants an element or Im protecting you when I’m with you, even subconciously. Its hard to feel like the man who looks out for his girlfriend and can protect her when that role is already being more than adequately filled. It must be hard for him to let go of or something.

    oh and especially with a baby… as a FATHER he wants to be the one protecting his family, not another man. In his mind. I could understand how that could be frustrating. But I think he should get over it.

    I agree. If this story is true, Brad is probably fighting for his alpha male position and, as a new father, he feels HE should be the one to protect the family. Overall, however, I think that the whole story is fabrication.

    Brad has nothing to worry about, Mickey wouldnt settle for Angelina, he is more into cheap thai hookers. I met him in Thailand where he spends all his free time, he has a fetish for going down on young girls and not doing anything more, I know a girl who spent time with him. He prefers his alone time, as i guess that is a big part of his job and cant have a real relationship. I have his number if u wish to send messages of support during the tough time he is having in india. oh by the way i find it quite amusing as he really hates indians, as in his words, they smell and are hard to get money out of.
