Brad Pitt on Oprah
November 19, 2008 by Sherry
Did anyone get to see Brad Pitt on Oprah today? I have scoured YouTube to find full video clips of the episode for those of you who didn’t manage to catch it, but alas, the only one I have found so far is this little preview clip:
I know how THAT feels.
For those of you who were unable to see the full show, I will post video as soon as possible. In the meantime, Randi showed off her mad typing skills by actually typing up the full transcript and you can go read it over here.
Stay tuned for video footage of Brad Pitt on Oprah.
Saw it.
He was funny and he said some lovely things about Angie and the girls are going to be troublr because he doesn’t recognise that they may need discipline too.
I think the transcript is on the site and its been put onto youtube.
Well done Christina for the question…haha. He’s a such a stubborn man.
You gave it a good try though honey, we appreciate it.

Thanks so much Randi for transcribing the Oprah show. That was a lot of typing, but we appreciate it. I think it went well. Now I want to know about his tatoos lol
Sorry about the double post.
I saw the full episode today Sherry. The person who wrote on this blog who was selected to ask Brad a question was very funny. They showed her the second time before the ending and Brad said, “She’s here again” and she motioned her finger as a warning joke to Brad. Brad won’t tell anything about the iceman tattoo. Oprah was curious how the fan knew the other tat on his belly which we all know that it was Angie’s birthday in Cambodian writing. The fan (is her name Christine from Ontario) was so funny. Good job Christine.
here’s a link that has about 5 minutes from the show. within the page, is another link to another segment from the show, where he talks to a fan about his tattoos.

The interview with Oprah was really good. There were many parts which really made me laugh. The first was when Brad told how Shi will only answer to the names John and Peter. So she obviously is a very big fan of Peter Pan right now. It´s normal fora child of her age. The other hilarious thing was when he told how Zee had brought dog poo for her dad to investigate. Those two girls obviously crack their daddy up every day. Wonder why he didn´t mention the boys? It just proves one thing:he loves his daughters very much and they all are daddy´s little girls. Naturally he loves Mad, Pax and Knox a lot too but maybe there wasn´t any funny stories to tell about them at the time. Hope I´ll be able to watch the whole interview someday here in Finland.
Brad, why don’t you call me…… I am waiting for your call. i feel like kicking my husband out of my apartment and asking you to move in with me.
Angelina and Brad
You are both very realistic.
^
like i said, lay off the cheese before bed yeah!
Interesting how embarrassed he was that Christina knew about all his tattoos. I really don’t think they understand what a huge fan base they really have, or that there are whole web sites set up just for them. Now that I think about it, it would be really weird to know that people are actually dissecting every part of your life. It’s probably better they don’t know.
I thought the interview was very funny. Brad was blushing when talking about Angie and the kids and I thought it was so cute.
I also didn’t see any ‘akwardness’ the media kept talking about between he and Oprah.
Loved the Zee and Shiloh stories.
Christina was funny when she asked the questions about the tatoos. Even Oprah was suprised she knew so much about his tatoos and it was equally cute how embarrased Brad was that Christina knew so much about them.
All in all it was a great interview. I taped it, but have no idea how to post, b/c I know youtube would take it down for copyright.
The Dark Knight’s Aaron Eckhart thinks Angelina Jolie would make a purr-fect Catwoman — if there’s another Batman installment.
“I thought that was a fantastic idea,” Eckhart told Usmagazine.com at the GQ Men of the Year party in L.A. on Nov. 18. “When I read that, I felt like all of our records that we made [would] be broken if she did Catwoman.”
Look back at Angelina Jolie’s famous on-screen roles.
(Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the original Batman TV series, recently told New York’s Daily News that she has knowledge that Jolie has inquired about playing the part.)
See Angelina Jolie’s baby photo.
Another name that’s been thrown around? Johnny Depp — as the Riddler.
“Every time I hear these guys, I feel worse about myself!” Eckhart joked.
He was mum when asked if he’d star in another Batman flick.
“I mean, that’s an interesting question,” he told Us. “You know, I don’t think I will. I think I died in the movie.”
Look back at unforgettable moments from The Dark Knight.
But it all remains a mystery.
Eckart joked, “I’m coming back as a totally different character.”
Tell Us: Would Angelina make a good Catwoman?
I loved seeing him beam about Angelina and the kids but honestly, I wasn’t too impressed with Oprah’s interviewing skills. It seemed to me, Brad would be right on the verge of elaborating on a funny or loving detail, and she’d cut him off by either asking a different question or going to break. It seemed to happen more often than I would have liked. Did anyone else notice this? (I’m not saying it was intentional but I did seem to notice it a lot!)
I would love to see the entire show. I forgot to have my brother tape it for me. But the bits i’ve seen is great. We know oprah is not going to let us see the entire show online. she sells everythings. But This is one episode i won’t mind buying. does anyone know how to purchase episodes from oprah.
I loved the story about shi and peter pan. My son Tristan is 4 and all summer long he wanted to be called Diego, and anytime I would say Tristan he’ll say no my name is diego he even had my parents doing it, it was so funny. he’s over it now when I thought he never would be.
This is one of the best interviews ha has done and he is so glowing!
nadia- I so agree with you. It was absolutely the best interview he´s done. And why wouldn´t he be glowing? He has a beautiful and loving girlfriend (Angie) and six healthy, adorable children! What more could a man want or need?
I saw the interview, that was one I could not miss. It was so funny, the kid certainly keep them happy. I love the tatoo question, I became embrass and it was not me, he had no idea that fans knew where his tatoos are located. She also metion the one on his tummy, oprah said that intimate detail, then he said in the end, is she still there, that was funny. Brad and Angie has carved out their own world for them self and they are in heaven with their kids. What more could they ask for,they are blessed. It make me so happy.
Have to agree about how great this interview was. He showed charm, humility and a great sense of humor. His face did light up when talking about his family.
Though I have to admit that my favorite part was when he described Angelina as sweet, good and with a great heart. These are not always words attached to her and it was just wonderful to hear him describe her in those loving terms and not only as being beautiful and sexy, which she is. It is so obvious that he sees beneath the surface and the superficial descriptions of her and wanted to show that in the photos and he did. Of course he included some of the sexy parts too, so he sees her as a total package.
Great interview and maybe I just missed the infamous awkward parts, but they seemed to have a great time together.
I was able to see O show today here where I am right now & Brad is glowing with joy & very proud telling stories about his family. I noticed how O will interrupt Brad (while he is answering) but Brad just ignored her & continue telling his story. He is very happy & content, Brad & Angie you belong to each other & your kids are so lucky to have you both as their parents. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
Randi, thanks for the write up. It is so plain to see that this man is crazy for Angie and the children. I don’t want to go into the whole X thing again, but this man has always made it clear that he wanted children. Why he and the X didn’t we don’t know, but he needed to move on. I believe that they will go to Africa for the holidays. Maybe spend a few days at his parents and off the Africa. Where ever God Bless the Jolie-Pitts.
Kati in Finland
The earlier reports said he talked about Pax and Time out chair.
Maybe they edited that out
It was funny the way it was told.
It was a cute interview. I think Oprah was amused having him there. I’m glad she didn’t ask any questions about 4 years ago.
I do feel bad for Christina because blogs are saying she’s crazy. Sheesh. I think she’s getting an unfair judgment. Besides, she was only on for a few minutes. I feel the gossip blogs are much worse because they propagate a lot of tabloid fodder and dispense personal info about the celebrities.
It is weird that a stranger would know those details, but at the same time, she’s a fan, who clearly supports his projects (i.e. Make It Right). I don’t think she was being stalkerish. She just asked about his tattoos, not about his sex life. Besides, I think Brad took it in good stride. He may have been a bit weirded out, but I think he was okay with her in the end.
i heard about the time out chair but i think the part where brad mentioned that pax peed on the time out chair was edited? or maybe i missed it?
The Huffington Post and other sites are referring to Christina as a obsessed fan ,crazy and bradaloonie etc. I think the producers made it worse by going back to her after he said he wanted to keep the info private. I think Christina was polite and professional
under mod: christina’s appearance, blogs, “crazy” fans …
yoco, I know. Even Lainey’s painted Christina in a bad light. I like Lainey, but this time, I’m very irritated.
I think poor Christina got a taste of the Angelina treatment. Brad seemed totally surprised Christina knew about the Ice Man. Brad and Angelina must not read not only the tabs, but legit media too. Legit magazines and newspaper articles have mentioned their tattoos, e.g. Rolling Stone. And instead of portraying her 17 years of fandom as a positive thing, she was made out to be a stalker. Ouch. It’s all in the way it’s framed and presented. (Speaking of which, did any see the NYTimes hit piece on Angelina manipulating People and other media? Once again it’s all her, not of course nice Brad.)
I usually like Lainey too, but she can be off at times.
And a BIG SHOUTOUT to Randi for the transcript! I’ve done those and it’s not easy.
Yep, Ligaya, the NY Times article was well, I feel it was a completely editorialized article. I don’t think a lot of it was factual, and really, it sounded more like an entry from Lainey’s blog. I think that article was really just the author’s take and speculation on Angie’s image. For a large part, the article undermines her passion for humanitarian work.
Still, when Lainey talked about the article, she emphasized Brad also being a “media manipulator.” She also emphasized that Brad and Angie aren’t the only ones who do it, but that all celebrities do it. It’s just that apparently, the JPs do it very well.
I think to an extent, all celebs try to control what’s put out about them, especially because lies are usually printed about them. Somehow, they’ve to negate those. But at the same time, I don’t think they’re any less of a human, and I think the NY Times article paints Angie as a very superficial celeb despite what she has accomplished out of genuine passion. It’s these kinds of articles that people only see these celebrities as mere celebs, either to be idolized or despised, and also, when they’re reduced to their profession (and not seen as human beings), it gives a lot of people even more reason to feel entitled to “invade” the celeb’s privacy.
I think the article was really just one person’s opinion, and naming unnamed sources and trying to piece together what she thinks Angie’s “crafted” image. It’s just another take on Angie’s image … almost very tab-like. And, awards season is coming up, so, it’s pretty suspicious that yet another article paints Angie in a negative light is out.
At least, there are blogs that are praising Angie’s smarts for being to do things on her own without the help of PR firms.
Also, I am glad to hear that Angie has a boarding school somewhere in Africa. I didn’t know about it, and I guess, the girls at the school are doing very well.
I never liked oprah but I managed to suck it in & watch the show coz of Brad. Like Cate too though. As for Christine, Lady Most of Brandgeina Fans empathized with you. It is really unfair for you to be painted bad.
On the other hand, we now know that being a BRANDGELINA FAN can be a hazardous occupation or hobby which ever you chose. See what happen to good gal Christine only few minutes spent on TV and tadah! Anti-Brangelina had her crucified (only using a metaphor here!)
And yeah, Brad Pitt Dare say “He’s Happy!”
lol up yours Oprah!
