Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard: ‘People love her but hate him’

wenn21331965

For a big chunk of the day on Monday, this story was one of the top articles on the Daily Mail. I don’t really see why? The Sun did an interview with a man named Mark “Billy” Billingham, who is a former soldier and bodyguard for the rich and famous. Billy apparently was the head of security for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for something like 18 months. He’s currently appearing British reality show SAS: Who Dares Wins. You can read the full Sun interview here, but I kind of feel like other sites (like the Daily Mail) are taking some of his comments out of context. I also feel queasy about the idea that this guy is talking so freely about his time with the Jolie-Pitts. Certainly there was a confidentiality agreement? Anyway, some highlights:

Billy on how Angelina & Brad would stack up in an SAS competition: “Brad wouldn’t last long because he wouldn’t have any cream to put on his face. It would be too sweaty and uncomfortable for him. He’s too pretty! But Angie could do it. She’d probably be the only one with balls at the end. She would stick it out.”

Billy says he “fathered” the Jolie-Pitt kids: “I was Brad and Angelina’s head of security. The military set me up perfectly for what I did with them. The biggest concern for them was the kidnapping of the kids, it’s all about money. Angie and Brad are very worried about who goes near their children. It was clear from the start we had a great chemistry and they trusted me with the kids. We got very close, I was living with them all the time. I could take the kids anywhere I wanted to on my own. No one else was allowed to do that. Even when I wanted to bring in extra people, they wouldn’t let any of those near the kids. They could look out for them from a distance but they couldn’t physically touch them. I took them swimming. I fathered them, basically.”

He was more worried about people attacking Brad rather than Angie: “People love her but hate him. You have to figure out a way of protecting them from all that. It was challenging, but interesting.”

[From The Sun]

There’s more about how they “lacked social skills” because they… asked how to enter a hotel bar, which I just took as Angelina and Brad asking if they should enter public spaces a certain way to avoid attention, not that they lacked social skills. It’s clear that Billy thinks Angelina is tough and ballsy and that Brad is a pretty boy who… I don’t know, didn’t spend much time with the kids? I think “I fathered them, basically” is more about Billy spending a lot of time on his own with the kids rather than a comparison to Brad.

    I call complete BS on this guy. They trusted him above everyone else with their kids and he was only there 18 months and now he’s yapping about it? Creep

    • Cherry says:

      Me, too. He sounds like an self-important ass, by the way. And like a dude who’s got a big crush on his former employer (Angelina) and tries to trash-talk the competition (Brad).

      • nemera77 says:

        His comments seem weird.. he was a BG not a father.. more a Manny. I have seen many pics of him with Brad alone and Angie with the kids.
        He is doing a reality show. And sadly using them to promote it. Such a shame. He worked with them IIRC until 2007. They then got another guy. That guy talked about how great they Both were and how kind. Maybe he needs the money

      • Megan says:

        Someone will be getting a letter from Angie’s lawyers.

    • swak says:

      Surprised no confidentiality agreement was signed.

    • Placebo says:

      Shell, you’re right. I don’t buy that either.

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      Yes, totally. A self- serving tool.

    • velourazure says:

      “I took them swimming, I fathered them basically”

      ROFL!

      • Shelleycon says:

        LOL so my husband is doing no fathering at all then he doesn’t even know where aqua tots is…

  2. Agapanthus says:

    Interview done with the approval of AJ maybe?

    • Carmen says:

      Why would she encourage him to violate a confidentiality agreement? If this guy is spilling beans on Brad, he could also spill some beans on her.

      • tracking says:

        It does seem very pro-Jolie, whereas Pitt does not come off well.

      • Colette says:

        He also said in the interview they both lacked “common sense” because they would ask him questions about how to go to a hotel,a bar,etc.

      • jwoolman says:

        It doesn’t sound anti-Brad to me. When he said people hated Brad but loved Angie, he was just saying he felt Angie was at less risk. It didn’t sound as though he himself hated Brad. And Brad probably does rely on creams and such for his skin at his age more than Angie absolutely has to. That’s not bad. And when he said he was fathering the kids, he just meant he was doing things with them. A woman would talk about mothering them. It doesn’t mean he was replacing their father.

    • Dippit says:

      That was the majority view on DM yesterday. It was generally speculated that he gave this interview with the blessing of AJ as otherwise he’d find himself in breach of an NDA he would’ve undoubtedly signed when in their service.

      Either way, the guy came over as an ass.

      • Colette says:

        If he had an NDA he could still be sued by Brad for violating it,so having her approval wouldn’t negate a NDA.Also he said some non complementary stuff about her as well.But I agree he comes off like a jerk either way.

      • Carmen says:

        Those people on DM will trash Angie for simply being alive and breathing. They still blame her for Aniston’s divorce.

    • notasugarhere says:

      He would still find himself in breech when or if Pitt comes after him. That negates the idea that he did it with her blessing to me.

      • Dippit says:

        That’s a valid point but it depends on the legal structure of the entity with whom he contracted/signed the NDA. It is not impossible for him to have been assured certain safeguards before speaking out.

        It is of course possible that any legal commitment he had to confidentiality has lapsed; although he implies that he continues to make himself available to AJ for freelance services so that would seem unlikely. It would further suggest that any original NDA had been poorly framed and I consider that unlikely too.

        He may also be relying on BP seeming the less litigious of the two.

        In any event, I put his maunderings down to that of a self-promoting ass having little respect, or professionalism, towards the responsibilities to which he was entrusted.

  3. ronaldinhio says:

    My brother worked with AJ on a UN mission ( pre Pitt)
    He said she was insanely down to earth. All about the work.
    She was out and dressed appropriately before some of her detail. Very friendly not at all starry or standoffish with all the guys there to protect her and teach her about the area.
    She had a genuine quality and a warmth with the people in the area they were in that was impossible to fake. She was like this day after day.
    She was very well informed, better than many of the political aides and govt ministers that came before and after her.
    He was amazed she was a film star by the end of it, it seemed so opposite

    I can see how those she works with support her. She apparently is the very real deal

    • Lisa says:

      SO glad to read this. I always pictured this to be the case with her, so good to know there are real life accounts that supports it 🙂

    • Sullivan says:

      Thanks for sharing this!

    • minx says:

      Thanks for this. I’ve always thought that she seemed to be like this.

    • susanne says:

      Love the insider scoop- even when it’s not salacious, it’s cool to see the ‘fly on the wall’ stuff.
      I don’t know Jolie, obviously. She could be one way professionally and another in private. Who knows.
      Just plain fun to be snarky about celebs when it doesn’t get too nasty (my feelings, anyway).

    • ronaldinhio says:

      Also – the guys she was working with then – none of them signed nads as they were generally military or military contractors
      I pondered if that was where she got this guy from if there isn’t an nda.

      The shade over Brad with creams etc etc would be very real with most of those guys especially if they had watched her operate in terrible conditions with zero moaning

    • Lena says:

      There’s have been several commenters over the years who had either personally worked with her on charity/un stuff or known somebody who did and every single one of them (that i read) said how professionally, prepared and truly interested and concerned she really was.

    • meow says:

      my uncle worked with her on both tomb raider movies, and this report is spot on. i had the pleasure of meeting her at both premiers and she made sure to greet everyone before she sat down for her meal and was more than kind with me and all my annoying cousins who were teens/tweens at the time.

    • artistsnow says:

      THIS!!! I have heard the same. Angie is the real deal.

  4. paolanqar says:

    I thought it was the exact opposite: people love to hate her but love him.
    anyway, in no way this guy was not asked to sign a confidential agreement and he can only say what AJ or BP wants him to say.

    • perplexed says:

      That’s what I thought too. I didn’t get his comment about people hating Brad Pitt. Even men seem to like him.

      • Fa says:

        I think he’s talking stalkers that’s obsessed with her don’t like Brad it possible that she has more stalkers than him because they obsessed with her it certain way it means they love her but not Brad as he is in their way
        And honestly she is more likeable than Brad since she changed her life for the better

      • Naya says:

        Men love him. He is Tyler Durden from Fight Club, he was married to both Rachel and Lara Croft, he laughs at himself on that Ferns interview, he is the man they wish they could be. Also, a popular answer for the “who is your gay crush” question.

        -Source; countless reddit posts.

      • SaraR. says:

        Again Naya, you should go and read the original interview, not these quotes. He talked about people on the street. He talked about the stalker he got arrested that was following Angelina from city to city. He was not talking about public opinion of Brad and Angelina.

    • Naya says:

      Agreed on both points. Her team tried to intimidate one of her biggest supporters into removing a People article he was merely reporting with no commentary. Theres no chance, that a former employee would test her litigation trigger finger like this….he has her ok.
      Its interesting this appeared in DM, a site that routinely has thousands of comments slamming her. I see you Olivia Pope. Cultivate a relationship with the other largest online outlet (Wasser put TMZ in the bag last month) by giving them “insider” exclusives with a flattering line or two subtly thrown in. Gains 1) positive coverage when other outlets regurgitate the story, 2) deniability maintained and 3) budding relationship with DM. But dearest Olivia, dont throw in bs statements like “people love her, hate him”, you’ll send the world into a collective eye roll.

      • SaraR. says:

        Oh, please Naya. That guy didn’t say a word about the current situation – divorce. He said that he was surprised like everyone else. He is talking about time he worked for them, which was many years ago. And Daily Mail copied that article (third version) from the original The Times article, which was copied also by Sun. Your dislike of Angelina makes you think everything is coming from her camp? Jesus, that guy is just promoting his show! Go and read the original article! Not the DM version! So everything that has a slightly positive opinion of Angelina has to come from her camp?

      • Paige says:

        It’s not “interesting” it appeared on The Daily Mail. The Sun reported it first and Daily Mail recycled the story like they do with every story. It would be interesting if they didn’t recycle a news story.

      • Colette says:

        So he had her approval to say she lacks common sense? OK

    • Ana says:

      Even if what he is saying is BS I don’t think nothing he said is that important that he needed their approval. saying he fathered the kids and people liked her and hated him is not the kind of things that fits in a confidential agreement .

      • SaraR. says:

        Absolutely. He didn’t give his opinion on divorce situation or any personal opinions on children.

      • Lindsay says:

        Most NDAs are for really boring things. It doesn’t have to be interesting or salacious to be covered. An NDA says don’t talk about things you have seen and done while working for us. Definitely don’t do it to make money and promote your reality show.

        An NDA doesn’t cover reporting illegal activities so by its nature of you aren’t protecting proprietary or state secrets it is going to be mundane. Saying I spent time with the children alone, I took them swimming, I basically fathered them (which WTH dude? You weren’t even there two years, the kids bonded with you and the parents trusted you. Learn healthy boundaries. The kids knew you weren’t their father.)

        Angelina wakes up at 10:10 everyday, she won’t get out of bed unless she has on a tiara and at least $25 million dollars in diamonds on, he wakes up at 4:20 everyday, will only wear his Superman pajamas in the house, ate Apple Jacks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three straight weeks. All of that would be covered. Instead of baby talk, they talked to their kids in a OTT stereotypical Russian accent, their favorite color, what the house looked like, their ringtone, Coke or Pepsi, their brand of batteries and light bulbs. You aren’t allowed to dish about them period.

      • Lorelai says:

        Lindsay, thank you for “learn healthy boundaries, dude,” LOL. That jumped out at me too as so over the top ridiculous and you articulated it for me – boundaries. To say he basically fathered them makes him look like a completely desperate idiot. 🙄

        Also: if he was as fabulous at this particular job as he seems to think he was, why did he only last 18 months?

    • María says:

      When he said ‘people lover her and hate him’ maybe the guy is talking about their own employees?
      And do you think this is pr pro angelina? Serious doubts, who cares about this guy, nobody. Seems the gossip machine about them is slow

      • notasugarhere says:

        That was my take. The people surrounding them love her but not Pitt.

      • Colette says:

        He was talking about fans on the streets so he had to protect her more because her fans were more enthusiastic.I don’t know why he said people hate Brad.Brad fans are just not as enthusiastic.I believe he was trying to say,she has more “Stans”.

      • Lindsay says:

        He was definitely talking about fans. Her stalkers hate him maybe? He said it made protecting them interesting.

      • KB says:

        When he was talking about her stalker he said something about how the stalker would see her and Brad and be furious or see just her and be happy. I think he was talking about her extreme fans or stalkers. It didn’t make much sense. Many of the things he said made little sense.

    • caitlinK says:

      I agree. On all sites except Celebitchy, about the A & B divorce, everyone seems to dislike/distrust Angie a great deal and to have concluded from there that Brad is the likeable, “good” one. Personally, since there is so much more to the story than we know, I withhold from judgment of the characters of either of them.

  5. Carmen says:

    This doesn’t make sense. Both Brad and Angie said several years ago that everyone who works for them has to sign an ironclad confidentiality agreement. This guy seems to be setting himself up for a major lawsuit. Unless he sold his story to the tabloids for more than he can be sued for. I bet he never gets another job working for a celeb. This majorly reeks.

  6. Esmom says:

    It’s pretty audacious to say he fathered the kids. I’m not buying it. I also got a weird vibe of him being jealous of Brad. I wonder if AJ’s legal team will go after this guy, too.

    • I Choose Me says:

      Yeah. He definitely seemed jealous of Brad and possibly had a crush on Angie. Telling that he only lasted 18 months despite his claim of being so trusted with the kids.

      ETA. Ok I read the Sun article and he comes off different now that I’ve read the whole thing. It also says he quit because he wanted to spend more time with his own family.

      As to why he’s talking. He’s dropping their names to promote himself and the show he’s on. He doesn’t say anything scandalous or divulge any secrets so I doubt he’ll be sued.

      • Fa says:

        Exactly he doesn’t say anything scandalous it just promoting a show and tabloids twisted his words but everyone is jumping and say her team made him say this and he worked for both of them not just for angelina,
        The original interview is from the Times in U.K. But the Sun copy pasted that interview and put a little spin to it as there are tabloids

    • Jellybean says:

      I think she has to go after him or else it suggests that he is speaking with her permission. Brad could go after him I guess, but it is possible that he only needs permission from one of them to break the confidentiality agreement.

  7. milla says:

    Brad simply is not on her level.

    He may have the looks, but she is smarter, classier, she knows how to get attention without even trying. He is just a pretty all american boy.

    • Alix says:

      Not even all that pretty.

    • Carmen says:

      I think it was too hard for him to keep up with her and that was why he finally cut loose and decided to hang out with his buddies drinking and drugging. She is way smarter and more intelligent than he is.

      • nemera77 says:

        I think Brad is doing very well in the areas that he works. Acting, Producing, Nola, Designing..

        They were a great couple. I have no reason to down one to elevate the other.

      • Ana says:

        the irony is that I think “Allied” was a major factor why they are not together anymore. Of course the Marion thing is nonsense but I think they were having issues and it was a big mistake doing that movie. Sometimes you have to stop and concentrate on your marriage problems.

      • nemera77 says:

        @Ana

        you do realize that Angie filmed FTKMF right after Brad did Allied. So if Allied was a “mistake” was her movie also one. No one knows anything about what is going on. So speculation is the only thing left.

      • Ana says:

        nemera77

        No. She filmed FTKMF until February and then he started Allied until May or something. Yes they both should have stoped.

    • Ana says:

      He is extremely beautiful and an interesting man and his best years were when he seemed committed with their relationship. This year he looked miserable and futile. That Golden Globe appearance and those pictures with the likes of Selena Gomez were an indication that he was not the same. But without wanting to bash him and despite their chemistry which I think is remarkable I also think he`s no match for her.

      • Greata says:

        @Ana…This.

      • Carmen says:

        Several commentators have mentioned that he seemed to be going through a world-class midlife crisis. His whole career was built up around him being the golden boy of Hollywood. Now he is aging and probably wondering what’s coming next, and maybe for him it’s a scary prospect. But Angie has six children to raise and she does not have time to indulge a grown man wallowing in a midlife crisis. Brad needs to get his sh*t together and decide once and for all if he wants to be a husband to Angie and a father to their children.

      • notasugarhere says:

        And the early years where he targeted much younger women? And many ended up going through very large weight losses? I’ve never seen him as much of a prize.

      • ArtHistorian says:

        Carmen,

        I think a midlife crisis is very possible – and I think that him ageing out of his heartthrob image is harder than he anticipated. I get the same vibe from Depp. Women, not just in HW but everywhere, have lived with the social narrative and norm (however nasty it is) that their desirability vanes when they hit the 40s. Men have been exempt from this norm/narrative until recently because they weren’t sexualized/objectified in the same manner. That has changed and I think that the famous men that have been celebrated for their good looks are going to struggle when dealing with ageing.

        I also wonder if he might be dealing with depression. I bet Angie’s health problems have been very hard to deal with. All the worry is hard on the loved ones – and she had some major sugery done as well as her high risk for cancer due to genetic disposition. Men often exhibit different symptoms than women and are less likely to seek professionel help. Often they self-medicate and sometimes become aggressive rather than with-drawn.

      • María says:

        This!
        Since the last year, a few of us, are thinking the same. He looked different, not about his looks but his behaviour in public and those strange 2-3 days trips ‘solo’ to france, crotia, germany with no business or movie excuse. That is why the the divorce was not a shock at all, for me. The really worriying is the last incident, they are in a shitty situation with DCFS stuff, they will be around the family for awhile

      • Carmen says:

        @Art Historian: spot on. I think women in general deal with aging much better than men. Women expect their looks are going to fade over time, whereas men, especially the pretty-boy types like Pitt and Depp, are more apt to react like what the hell is happening to me? and start acting a fool to prove (to themselves at least) that it isn’t actually happening.

    • Lorelai says:

      Milla, I generally agree with most of your comments, but not this one.

      First I want to clarify that I’m pretty much neutral on both Brad and Angelina. I’ve always liked him well enough, but not enough to run out and see every movie he’s in or anything like that. I was “Team Aniston” for a (very!) brief time in 2005-06, but got over the whole thing more than a decade ago, and certainly long before the tabloids did. And I remember absolutely adoring Angelina’s performance in “Changeling.”

      But in no way do I think she is “better” or “classier” than Brad. And none of us here know if she’s smarter. I am old enough to remember her back in the 90’s and she was extremely…trashy. We all know about Billy Bob, the vials of blood, and the brother-kissing.

      Somewhere along the line – I’m not sure exactly what year it was – she hired a ‘celebrity philanthropy expert’ to help her revamp her image into one of a humanitarian, and it worked fabulously. I am in no way dismissing all of the good work she’s done in her role with the UN, and I do think she has found pleasure and satisfaction in this role, but this version of Angie was very carefully planned by paid professionals, and even though it isn’t a role in a movie, it is a role she’s playing nonetheless.

      I’m almost positive I read about her transformation in a Vanity Fair article about the philanthropy advisor that so many celebrities hire, and if I can find it I will come back and post it.

      At the end of the day, I think she worked hard to achieve and maintain her “St. Angelina” image, but she is still just a Hollywood actress just as Brad is an actor. IMHO. Brad doesn’t strike me as unintelligent by any means, btw; he seems to have a real interest in architecture and he’s done some very good work for the city of New Orleans, specifically with housing initiatives post-Sandy.

      ETA: I do believe she is a devoted mother who loves her children above all else. I’m truly not trying to slam her. But it bothers me so much when people act as if she is on a completely different level than Brad is.

      • milla says:

        I was team Aniston, but Pitt is the one who made a mess, not Jolie. He was married, he made a commitment. So for me, it was either Team Aniston or team Brad.

        i know about her past, she did drugs, she had mental health issues, she kissed her brother, she did a lot of bad things. but she managed to go from that chick to a proper woman, who is more than just amazing face and body.

        i do not know who has bigger IQ, but Angelina evolved, I admire her for that. She is not a saint, that is something PR / media created. Pitt is the same. Obviously, he has some issues now, but even before that he was always the same. His interviews are the same, it feels to ME, that she wanted more and he didn’t want to change.

        Maybe I am wrong, we are talking about most powerful HW couple, so who knows what happened. But the fact is that people want to hear Angelina speak about stuff outside HW and that is her power.

  8. Carla says:

    “Brad wouldn’t last long because he wouldn’t have any cream to put on his face. It would be too sweaty and uncomfortable for him.”

    Ahahahahahaha!

    • huh says:

      @Carla I know right?
      That statement had me ROFL. True or not that was hysterical.

    • Jellybean says:

      Now that is typical locker room talk. It is entirely possible that the two men were free with the banter – SAS man makes face cream comment, Brad suggests he could use a bit of moisturiser on those knuckles he keeps dragging on the ground, SAS asks Brad if he can pick up some for him next time he is at the drug store, but maybe he should take Angelina along in case it is on a high shelf. I know a lot of British soldiers and, believe me, I have heard hundreds of variations on that exchange.

  9. Ana says:

    I don’t have that idea that people hate him and love her. I think she is more admired then him and certainly has a big support among youngr women because of her personality. The honesty she ever had about her life and what she did in the past without really giving a s… of what people thought about her is something that a lot of people special younger women and younger men really love about her and makes her such a special person. That allied with her intelligence and beauty makes her irresistible IMO. He is seen as a nice guy and I really think he was always more worried about his public image then Angie.

    • Carmen says:

      I don’t think he meant “everybody” in a broad sense. I think he was referring to the people who work for them. He wasn’t talking about public opinion.

      • SaraR. says:

        No, he was referring to people on the streets that he had to protect them from. He has a story, in the original interview, about a man who stalked Angelina from city to city, that was arrested in the end. He was explaining that weird people were attached to her, and were hating Brad, that’s why he was even more worried about his protection.

  10. SaraR. says:

    According to the pictures with some of these articles, he was with them eight to ten years ago, I don’t know if twins were even born when he was their bodyguard. Also, besides some gossipy bits, he really didn’t say anything. He said that he got a guy arrested for stalking Angelina, and he basically thinks that Angelina is tough and Brad is goofy. Nothing about kids, wich, I am sure, he signed that confidentiality agreement for.

  11. Xboxsucks says:

    I didnt really read that as he saying he was the father figure, he said as someone who spent time alot of time with them.
    And regarding people loving her and hating him, from my personal experience :
    people really went crazy when they saw her , both were quite engaging and nice but she was the sweetest.
    Media might loves him and hates her but when you get to see them, she was the one people were looking to meet

    Anyway: is it bad i want them to get back together?

  12. bucketbot says:

    Okay, so My mom worked from 9 to 6 all six days of the week. Travelling back from work took her 2 hours and she reached home at 8 p.m. During this time I was either in school, or creche. There were about 20 other kids along with me in the same kind of situation. So does this mean I was mothered by those caretakers. I don’t think so. And he was there for just 18 months. Goodness!!
    IMO : 1. He just seems to want attention for his show.
    2. He’s a careless speaker.

    • Cherry says:

      I raised my eyebrows at ‘I took them swimming. I fathered them, basically.’ too.
      Dude, there’s more to fatherhood than ‘doing stuff’ with kids. At least there should be. He sounds like an idiot.

      • BonnieJean says:

        Dude, there’s more to fatherhood than ‘doing stuff’ with kids.

        Ain’t it the truth. It’s like he’s saying he did all the Fathering because Pitt didn’t…wasn’t able? WTH??

  13. Keaton says:

    I’m 100% Team Angie but this guy sounds douchey to me.

  14. Allie B. says:

    Brad Pitt is pretty beloved. I don’t see where people “hate him”. Even with this divorce story, he will lose nothing. There has yet to be any evidence of abuse so it’s really just a crappy marriage falling apart.

      Again, people should read the original interview. He is talking about people on the street that he had to protect them from, as a bodyguard. He is not talking about public opinion of Brad and Angelina. This is what happens when quotes are just taken out of the context.

    • BonnieJean says:

      Agreed. As of yet there is no clear evidence of abuse. Odd that he had to throw in that people “hate Brad but love her.”

      • SaraR. says:

        Again, read the original interview. He was talking about weird people, stalkers on the street, who loved Angelina, hated Brad. That’s why, he said, he was more worried about his protection. He was not referring to the public opinion of Brad and Angelina.

        It is really sad, but I guess a common thing, that people make judgments and they not even read the full interview.

      • BonnieJean says:

        I read the full article & still found it odd.

      • Colette says:

        His comment about people hating Brad still doesn’t make sense.

      • Kate says:

        It makes perfect sense. Creepy stalkers in love with Angelina hated the man she was with. Very normal creepy stalker behaviour. See the crazy Cumberbatch people and the way some of them act like his wife is the literal devil.

        At the time this guy worked for them Angelina’s wild past wasn’t so long behind her and she was still a lot more open, and her profile was higher than ever due to her relationship with Pitt. She would have been catnip for crazies at this point.

    This guy seems like an opportunist looking to get attention.
    Talking to the press about past clients is not going to be a selling point for future clients.

  16. Frosty says:

    What a self-important gasbag.

  17. Eve says:

    Whatever, I’m just glad she’s dropped this dead weight (Pitt). There, I said it.

    Angelina, I’ve been single for a while…*nudge, nudge, wink, wink*

    I read the original interview in times uk. It was completely different to the interview the sun posted. His original interview was sweet & funny. The sun twisted so much of it around & made so many soundbites & speculation out of it. He was saying the stalkers he dealt with, love angie but they react with hate for brad. As saying he was a father? The original context was that he was like a father figure in a protective sense towards them. As he spent everyday around them & he was the only one allowed to. The rest of the interview was funny stories in a harmless way about them. The press has changed the tone of his words so they use it for clickbait. Daily mail comments are despicable towards angelina. So hateful about a situation they no nothing about.

    • SaraR. says:

      I absolutely agree with you. Daily Mail is a trashy paper that changed the tone of the interview so they can get clicks from their readers, and they know how their readers/commenters feel about Angelina.

    • Keaton says:

      Thanks for saying this. I just went with the soundbites. I should know better lol

  19. The Original G says:

    I also call BS and further predict he’ll never work as a body-guard again. What a moron.

  20. Jess says:

    I never thought he was particularly interesting or intelligent. I thought he was a good looking man and seemed thoroughly nice, but not especially intelligent. In some ways I found them quite an odd match. With her evolution into humanitarian and political causes I think she just left him in the dust. He’s still a Hollywood kind of guy she’s grown into something else. I can’t imagine her dating a movie star again. Brad will probably find a younger Hollywood starlet.

    • Kate says:

      I don’t think he’s particularly intelligent, but then I’ve never seen any evidence that Jolie is some kind of great mind. Doing good works is not the same thing as being exceptionally smart.

  21. Candies says:

    I have soft spot for brad i.try to understand Angie too… I think they better off . she is not a winner neither he. He can have another woman in Hollywood easy… Her I’m not sure my opinion. ….Hes like every other Hollywood men pretty much I take it. so that makes it nothing wrong if everybody want the same…
    I think people who work for you shouldn’t talk about you when fame added to it unless off course required by law.
    What she grown in to is not much everybody want only the side of it…me being honest here…he may have a certain tendency of fear cloud his judment leading lousy outcomes IMO…

    Lies. All lies. Some security guard, opens his word hole for the first rag that pays him. Jerkoff.

  23. Kilo Tango says:

    Agree with what other posters have said about the original article and then them DM version. The DM is a horror show!

    I am also here to HONK for the other guys on SAS Who Dares Wins. Any Brits watch the show last night?

    I’m not familiar with NDAs in the media industry, but NDAs in the corporate sector are not so easy to enforce apparently. Maybe it’s the same?

    Potentially breaking what is unquestionably an ironclad confidentiality agreement for this little actual info? Nah, AJ approved this. Probably because she knows BP won’t publicly comment on it.

    How awful it must be to be that famous that you have to constantly be afraid of your kids being kidnapped 🙁
