Does Brad REALLY Hate Being Famous?

What a hypocrite. Even when they are not asked, BP & AJ blather on ENDLESSLY about their children & their personal life: AJ bought Maddox daggers (who asked?), AJ & BP didn't start screwing AFTER he split with JA; their plns for more adoptions (why tell everyone - why not just adopt these kids & make a good, stable life for them IN PRIVATE?), etc, etc.

Leo Dicaprio really hate being famous but not brad

Why is the person who wrote this post so sour?

Many actors publicize their film without talking about their personal lives. It's a choice. Look at Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchette, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Leonard DiCaprio, Bob DiNiro. Real artists who believe their work can stand on its own.

It is up to the interviewer.. who does
not need to ask about their private lives.. just the making of the movie..
Just think we would not have the Angie Brad and Jen.. Or Ben and Jlo crap....
Just talk about the movies the way it use to be.!! and the only topic should be the movie!!

Dear 12:55,
So sour because these people make the money they do & enjoy all of the advantages courtesy of their fans - even in this economy - and then they whine about the press. It's just ugly & childish, don't you think?

Finally people are catching on. Brad is a grown ass man he doesn't have to talk about his personal life at all. But he does. Did Oprah force him to tell the story about Zahara and dog poo? NO

He can't answer a question without the answer revolving around his personal life and family. This guy is a phony. And it's all about him.

He is the one who put a bounty on his children's head. Paparazzi still snap pictures and make money. Whether its the first picture or not. So his reasoning is BS. As a dignified parent you would never sell out your children.

And shortly after leaving his wife he is doing family photo shoots with another woman and parading around caring her two children. He loves the attention and he is pathetic.

He's on some sort of "I don't care about being famous" tour at the moment. A few days ago he claimed he has never googled himself. Does he honestly think the public is that stupid? If he really hates it so much he should stop selling photos of his family to magazines. And he can donate all the money he makes from his fame if it annoys him so much. Is there really a need to live in a $60 million dollar house and fly around in helicopters all day?

he doesn't google himself - puh lease! but his son is googling knives and daggers. talk about a liar. either way he is an irresponsible father.

the money he makes off the pictures is for charity you assholes! and he's right, the media is completely out of control these days! the public has NO RIGHT to know every little detail about his personal life, his children, his relationships, family etc.! people need to give celebrities some damn space and let them live their lives once in a while! acting is obviously his passion, but he hates that it comes with all this bullshit crap that agencies like x17 spew out!

Is it not better for Brad to manipulate the media than the tabloids? Should he just shut up and allow the tabs week after week to CREATE a false image? Leonardo Dicaprio has NEVER had it as bad as Brad when it comes to his personal life. From the time Thelma and Louise hit he has had his personal life invaded. What should he do shut up and take Shiloh in out of Broadway shows for a photo op daily. Or should he try his best to yes control the situation. The paps and the tabloids always seem to feel that it is a RIGHT to follow celebs and provide pictures so tabs can make up shit. WE the public are just as guilty cause we buy the tabloids and read the blogs?

If Brad was one of those celebs who went to the ivy or any of those pap infested restaurants then I would say he was full of it.

If he was like Mayer giving press conferences I would say he is full of it.

Yet he doesn't do that. In fact come to think of it his kids with few exceptions have not been photographed in a very long time and maybe that is why x17 took offense to what he said.

If Brad chooses when and where his kids are photograhed---how are paps going to make the big bucks?

If Brad is the one photograhing or controlling the images---how are the paps going to make money.

Brad is 100 percent correct in manipulating the media since the paps and tabs feel they are the only ones who should play games.

Again, 1:23, Pitt & Jolie offer up this information and photographs about their personal lives. It's their choice. Again, look at Leo DiCaprio or Meryl Streep...they are quite successful and they never, by choice, talk about their personal lives.

Brad has never been interested in provacy. When he was married to Jen he used to whine in every interview that she was keeping him from starting a family. Sending a media lynch mob after your wife is a great way to maintain a private life. And if that wasn't enough he publicly fools around with his co-star in front of the entire world. A co-star who used to run around at red carpet events bragging about how she just had sex with Billy Bob in the car. Since then these two media whore have gone from one press conference and photo-op to another. When they aren't busy talking about or selling intimate photos of their family to the press. In what reality does this guy live in that he thinks the public believes he interested in privacy?

^loser!^

The Brad and Angie defenders will never see them for what they are. Brad banks on the fact that his fan base is retarded. And he's right to do that because judging by the comments they make, they are pretty retarded. Btw, Leo was in the biggest movie of all time and everyone was interested in his private life. He just chose not to exploit his private life for publicity. Can't say the same for Brad. The majority of Brad's fame comes from the famous women he dates not from the movies he makes. It's been like that since Thelma and Louise or as I like to call it, the Juliet Lewis years. Which were followed by the Paltrow years, the Aniston years and now the Jolie years.

Brad should stop talking. Every time he opens his mouth another lie comes out. And to all the people who claim he sells intimate pictures of his family just for charity, what drugs are you people on? The guy has $300 million in the bank that he could use for charity. He has a team of lawyers that could pass the same laws they have in Europe preventing the press from publishing photos of his kids. Notice how he has never even tried to pass a law like that. He's too busy using them for PR to be interested in protecting their privacy.

Brad, stop whining to the press and go away. That way you can have all the privacy you want and we don't have to be subjected to your constant lying.

Next thing you know, he's going to start telling everyone all of those acne scars he used to have on his face went away naturally. Everything about this guy is fake and unnatural.

Brad has been using his personal life to sell his movies since the beginning of his fame. He would not be as famous if he didn't date Julliette and Gwyneth. He gave his wedding pic to People magazine for their cover way back then. He has given a bunch of interviews for this movie about his personal life ... he sells out new orleans to sell his movie.

what drug is he on? Does he think we don't pay attention ? He's been in the tabloids for his whole career. DUH!

Speaking of New Orleans...Katrina struck in 2005. Since then, despite all of Pitt's claims, only SIX families have been moved into his homes. An he calls his project Make it Right. A ot of talak, very little action.

Brad is a master of manipulation and a
cheater,just like his girlfriend.Why these two phonies are called a power couple,is beyond me. I guess to be a
power couple nowadays,it includes being
a cheater and a homewrecker,like these two.

Him and Jolie both are so dramatic. There's nothing they like better than posing in front of the cameras. My gosh,how many women talk about their time in the tub with their mates, pregneant love making, and you name it??? I frankly think they're both a bit sick in the head, and could very well be setting things up for a future book/movie. It's goofy stuff!!! I've tried to like them, but they're simply too goofy for me. Be willing to bet those kids are like wild animals. Jolie and Pitt both, are out for themselves, and have a self interest in everything they do. Put them in a jungle with cameras, and watch them work.., and have sex. They both look like scuzzy(spelling) people to me.

1:23 is an... what's the word you used, asshole? I love it when Brad's defenders have to start swearing to make their point. So classy. Just like Brad, who thanks you by the way. If it weren't for brain dead people like you, he'd be out of business.

x17, you make an excellent point. Also, actors wouldn't make any money at all if it weren't for their fans and for the press. They want to take money from their fans and then act like their fans aren't worthy of hearing about their precious personal life. At any rate, your point about the hypocricy is absolutely true.

1:27 is pretty brain-dead too. Someone mentioned that they have laws in Europe that prevents the press from publishing photos of celebrity children. Wonder why Brad doesn't pass any laws like that in the US? I don't wonder because I'm smart enough to know he uses them for PR. But maybe you should start wondering.

oh please. he is in a very privildged position that most people on the planet never get to experience. he knew what he was getting into when he signed up for an acting career. he needs to just stfu and deal.

When he was busy whining about his lack of privacy did he use big words like impervious and dastardly? I love it when Brad uses fancy words to make himself sound smarter than he is. Will Brad ever settle on an actual personality that's believable or is he just going to keep borrowing one from his girlfriends and British people? Dastardly? That's a word only British people use. I hope he doesn't start faking his accent the way his girlfriend does from time to time. These two are so friggin fake!!!

Brad and Angelina have been more than generous when it comes to thier family. There's a time and place for appropriate picture taking, hiding on their private property for a week isn't appropriate. Before the twins were born their was also a kidnapping plot on thier children as right now. This is why the twins and the other children haven't been seen out. I'm a fan of both but I don't want to see them harmed for the price of fame, their family must come first and their safety.

If you think Brad and Angie do EVERYTHING in life for the sake of PR think again! If both of them were a bunch of shallow idiots, they would have never gotten involved in so many projects. They have the means($$$) to try to promote kindness, so they do. They also have the means to go out clubbing everynight, get their pictures taken that way, but they DONT. hmmm... could it be because maybe they don't care about going out to clubs all the time and being selfish? could it mean that they really DO enjoy all the humanitarian work they do? You all know deep down that these people MEAN WELL. SO WHY THE F*CK ARE YOU ALWAYS PUTTING THEM DOWN? some of you assholes are just bitter because maybe you have lost someone to a cheater, or maybe you don't have money to help the world out, and make yourself in a different light. But that is not their problem. Get over yourselves.

I can't recall any Hollywood couple that tell so much about their personal
life and photographs it too.Angelina brags too much.If their love life was so perfect she would not have to tell about it.But she carried on with Billy Bob too.Brad only likes the media,when he is promoting something.

Brad and Angelina are overjoyed with their family, they have every right to share pictures and speak of their family. I simply don't understand why people are plotting a kidnapping against this beautiful family. This world is full of crazy a**holes. You simply can't do anything nice for others without being a target.

yeah and then there's the fact that half of you are probably jealous because you look more like JEN then you do ANGIE, right? Are you sick of always being the JEN in life, and not the ANGIE? Jealousy is a bitch. Stop taking it so personally.

Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio hate to be famous! Not Brangelina.
Johnny has his 2 beautiful kids, but he doesnt like paparazzi taking their picture to put in a magazine.
Angelina and Brad LOVE donig this. "Look how pretty they are. We adopt, look how nice we are!".
I used to like Brangelina, untill i realise how manipulating they are.
You dont need to sell your family pictures to some magazine and say that the money is for charaty if you already have A LOT of millions.
fake fake and fake

Funny how Brad's charity work started a couple of days after he got caught on a beach in Africa with a women he claimed not to be involved with. The charity work saved his reputation. Brad can easily manipulated the public because there are plenty of people out there who are stupid enough to be manipulated.

oh yeah...having pride in your family is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAKE! I hate it. so manipulative...let's f*cking stone them to death. they are evil.

You know what I hate about this? This tells me that MOST of you would never take on humanitarian duties without having something in it for you. That's why you think they are so manipulative. Because YOU yourself, would NEVER want to help people unless it was going to benefit you. That is how your mind works. It's sad that there are too many people out there that are just like that.

2:23, what's with the nastiness about Jen and Angie's looks? And what do their looks have to do with this conversation? Why is it whenever anyone criticizes these two "Saints" the knives and foul language come out. Show some class. It's not always about Jennifer Aniston you know.

There is a difference having pride in your family and pimping out your family for PR. And there are lots of ways to raise awareness for the charitable cause you care about without raising awareness for yourselves. It's not a coincidence that whenever Brad and Angie have a movie coming out they announce a donation to some charitable cause on opening weekend. Just like releasing their tax returns to the public doesn't feed or shelter anyone. But it does put an exact dollar amount on their generosity. Get a clue people, Brad and Angie are using you, just like they use their children and people in need to promote themselves.

Nobody wants to know about Leonardo, sorry but they don't. Everyone wants to know every aspect of Brad and Angelinas life regardless if your a fan or not.

2:32 well then you can show some class too. Stop dogging these two humanitarians who are trying to help people.

so what?! they want to show off their humanitarian work, because perhaps they hope they will be an influence in getting people to get involved. there is nothing wrong with that.

The Make It Right foundation has and is currently building homes for New Orleans. Someone mentioned only six? It's six more than the gov't has built! They should have 30 homes built within 6 months. I say x17 and the rest of you morons should give something back besides your negative comments.

Trying to help people, maybe. But if you think they aren't trying to help themselves in the process you are probably one of those people who thought Sarah Palin should be one heartbeat away from the oval office.

The objection is that they promote their charity work by talking about themselves. The promote their films by talking about themselves. Then they complain about an invasion of privacy by he press. There was no invasion, Pitt & Jolie opened the door.

I give plenty back to my community and have for years. I just prefer not to brag about it. Charity means doing something nice for someone without expecting anything in return. Using your charity work to save yourself from an adultery scandal and using your charity work to sell your movies and using it to try to get an Oscar IS getting quite a lot in return.

Well done x17. That is all i have to say. It is about time that you started holding people like him accountable and stopped sucking up to them.

I can't believe Brad Pitt has generated so many comments. He's soooooooooo boring. And sooooooooo full of himself. Maybe you guys should obsess over a real man. Johnny Depp comes to mind. Oh, that's right. Johnny actually keeps his life PRIVATE. And his movies make a lot more money than Brads. According to the LA Times Benjamin Button still has to make another $200 million just to break even. Guess we'll be getting another dose of the kids and intimate photos of that 33 going on 50 year old looking girlfriend of his. Privacy my ass.

maybe they are trying to target the people that normally WOULDN'T give to charity....the people that watch their movies, the ones that think about what is the next piece of clothing they are going to buy, maybe they are just trying to reach out to the people that aren't into charity work. Of course, there are always people that give to charity, and they do it privately. But by using promotion, anyone that looks up to angie, or brad, or loved a movie they were in, --but isn't into charity work....they are trying to target everyone to make a difference. there is not a single thing wrong with that.

Yes, they "USE" their celebrity to make a difference...you think there is something wrong with that?! You think they just need to be quiet about how they feel, so they don't have to deal with hostile people like you? maybe.

Oh yes, let's all do charity work, but never speak of it, for the fear that you might be "bragging". Anyone that felt strongly about somethign would scream to the top of their lungs about it. whatever.

He looks PP ( pastey and puffy ). Also, should shave the stash, unless he's trying to look like Howard Hughs.

I think the part people are objecting to is the fact that they promote their charity & movies by exploiting their children & personal lives - and THEN complain about the attention. It's not the "doing", its the hypocrisy.

I can't wait for Mickey Brett to spill his guts on this famewhore! LMFAO!

I respect Mia Farrow for not using adoptions as cheap publicity stunts and for adopting children with special needs. She is truly selfless and sets an excellent example.

Maybe they should scream their charity work from the rooftops. What people object to is that they do it whenever they are trying to win and oscar or have a movie coming out. And if Brad cares so much about the world WTF was he doing the first 40 years of his life? They guy has been rich and famous since 1990. Why is we only started hearing about his charity work right after he got caught with Angelina? Besides, I think coming up with a charity campaign that has a memorable slogan, like "Can You Spare a Dollar for a Person in Need" is probably a lot more helpful than giving a press conference or selling off your kids to people magazine. And give out website info every chance you get so people can donate. Make it easy to remember like....help.org. They just run around posing for photos and giving press conferences.

And instead of wearing those stupid hats and all of that fancy clothes wear a shirt with your slogan and website. That way when the paps take you picture that info appears in every tabloid. Might not land you on the best dressed list but actual charity is about selflessness.

Shouldn't we call Shiloh and the twin humanitarians? The sale of their photos is what goes to charity. According to Brad and Angie's tax returns, which they so 'selflessly released last year, they don't actually take any money out of their own bank accounts. The people mag money is not in addition to the millions they give away. So we should thank their kids for giving up their privacy for a charitable cause.

Brad looks like he's been bathing in Angelina's douche water a little too long.

I have a lot more respect for people who take money out of their own bank account and give it to charity. These two use their children to generate the money and then have the audacity to write it off on their tax returns. So basically they don't give any money away. But they do generate a lot of positive publicity for themselves. Feel free to check out their tax returns. They had the nerve to make them public so that everyone could see how charitable they are. What assholes!!! I have so much more respect for people who don't brag about their charity work in such an obscene manner.

Good post. I am quite tired of him stating that he hates the paps and doesn't like to be famous then sells his kids pictures. If he really wanted privacy he could get out of the movie business and move like Demi did to some small town. No one would care about him in short order. It's not hard brad - if you don't like it get out.

He's kept his family out of the public eye for about 6 months, he could have been doing it before. It is possible. It's a bunch of b.s. selling his innocent children's images for "charity". We did not need to hear about Pax peeing himself when put into time-out, & all of the other info he gave out. Shame on him.....

Anyone that exploits their children for money like that is dispicable.

he's the man!! always!! guess that's so many people I met on " ____Agelessmate.com____ " look up to him! work hard and surprisingly optimistic!! Patrick Swayze, You rock!! hope you will win the fight!!LOL

The reason the press is all over for him is because of the shameful way he left his wife, then proceeded to have 6 kids in 3 1/2 years and sold every moment of it to People magazine. He has no one else to blame but himself. If you don't want scandalous news coverage then don't behave that way. There's got be a classier way to get divorced, let a little time go by and have a couple of children the normal way. Other celebrities have managed to pull it off. And other celebrities raise awareness for charity without referring to themselves and their girlfriend as "one of the greatest leaders of modern times." That's what he called Angie on Larry King. So sad when people see themselves that way. Not exactly humble.

I saw that Larry King appearance and couldn't believe he said that. One minute he claims to be humble and then a minute later he comes out with a statement like that. Angie, one of the greatest leaders of modern times? It's like when he called himself a humanitarian. That's like calling yourself a legend. You let other people call you that but you don't refer to yourself like that if you're actually humble. Angie must love the fact that he worships her like that. That's not love, that's a sickness.

The Haters are out in full force on this one! Geeez Louise, breathe people! And to Tell-All, you must be a sick human being waiting for that book to come out -- that book is all about HURTING more people, AGAIN. No good will come out of it. Do you not see that??

Wow! I didn't know she fired Mickey! Now we'll finally hear the TRUTH!

No good will come out of the book? Are you serious? Brad and Angie will be seen for what they really are. By no good you must mean their fans will look like idiots for worshiping these two fame whores. I think that's more than good, that's great. You have been blind for far too long.

SPILL IT MICKEY!! LET'S HEAR THE TRUTH!!

Both Brad and Angie are hypocrites. They sold out their children to the media and now they are complaining because of the attention they are getting? lets not forget those detailed interviews Angie did a while back on her "love life". You know what I really dislike about the both of them? they go out in the public eye and have the balls to proclaim they are higher above than other humanitarians who aren't in the media. Throwing money at charities and showing up in Africa for a photo-op... that is so full of sh*t. Just make the both of these idiots go away, I support real people who go out there and help, who stand by those people in need and provide medical care and food and shelter. Grr. They make my blood boil.

Yeah, he's been hanging w/Jolie a little too long. Now all of a sudden he's whining about the attention on his personal life. If you don't want the attention, then stop drawing everyone into your life. STOP opening up your home to photographers so they can take photos of your half naked children and Jolie in her nightgown! Stop prancing them onto the cover of every magazine. What's up with allowing the mayor to show the world your twins birth certificates??! STFU! Even when he posed with Jolie in W magazine when he split with Jen - he knew that would stir up rumors and gossip about his relationship with Jolie but he didn't seem to care about anyones feelings back then. He didn't care people were speculating that he had an affair b/c if he did he wouldn't have posed with her and children portraying a family, 2 months after he splits with his wife!

Tonight the two of them acted like the biggest stuck up b*tches in the world. Jolie barely answering any questions on the red carpet (SAG awards) and Brad getting annoyed about the questions pertaining to his love life. Please. Don't they get it? No one cares about their acting. They're tabloid king and queen - not the king and queen of hollywood. Can't wait til they lose at the Oscars... maybe we'll be done with them for atleast another year!

He's so full of crap. Why not just say to the press "I don't want to talk about my personal life." Because he's a PR whore and him and Jolie are the masters of PR. Their fans are extremely naive and simple minded.

I can't wait for Jolie's bodyguard to come out with that book.

right on 2:57!!!

He is so full of shit. You know exactly what you are doing Brad. Everything you say sounds so rehearsed.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what it is about to you Brad.

Did he not just photograph his baby's mama breastfeeding for a mag cover? He did that whole "w" photo shoot himself to show his artistic side! STFU & get the f out of the country!

Uggh now i know why X17 put up a controversial topic for Brad and Angelina just look this thread got the most comment on this blog no wonder lots of gossip blogs love to post Brad & Angelina to generate traffic. Ang the losers are the haters because FUGLIES you're making ANGELINA JOLIE into a LEGEND BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!

No offense against them but Brad and Angelina would not be getting so much attention and backlash if they had shown more integrity in their lives especially with their lives being so public. I never knew Angelina was involved in all this philanthrop work until she inappropriately hooked up with Brad. You kind of reap what you sow-it's a way to keep people from hurting other people.

i like you..unlike perez who feels the need to kiss brangelinas ass on his page..finally someone with a brain who isn'f fooled by these two

i like you..unlike perez who feels the need to kiss brangelinas ass on his page..finally someone with a brain who isn't fooled by these two..perez draws little angel things on her head and calls them royalty..people pay attention to them because its surprising that they appear so much publicly..its like they aren't ashamed at all..well actually sometimes I think he is..she on the other hand doesnt give a crap because thats the type of person she is..I think we all know that by now

He's so full of crap. Why not just say to the press "I don't want to talk about my personal life." Because he's a PR whore and him and Jolie are the masters of PR. Their fans are extremely naive and simple minded.

I can't wait for Jolie's bodyguard to come out with that book.

Brad is boring when he doesn't discuss his family.

3:27, you are on the money...Brad could have been an advocate a long time ago, however, he waited until he got caught with HO-lina, and deserted his wife, to become an assistant "ambassador of the world." What f*cking BS!! They are multi-millionaires, if they really wanted to do something for New Orleans, they could have and still can! I for one, as a former fan, am insulted by these morons, who take us for such fools! I will be glad when they finally fade from the limelight, and start raising their children. I have lost all respect for Brad, what an idiot. I have never respected Angelina, too much baggage...atheist, mutilater, whore, addict, adulter, manipulater, etc., etc.
