Daddy Brad
Some sweet comments from Brad on parenting:
“I’ve seen ‘The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl’ about 18 times,” declared Brad who has patiently watched this kiddie favorite with Shiloh Nouvel, his four-month-old biological daughter with Angelina, and their adopted children, Maddox Chivan and Zahara Marley.
On Fatherhood:
It makes me much more efficient. I do everything faster because there’s no time for messing around. I value what I’m doing. I mean, I still value my work but at the same time, I value the part about getting home to the kids. It makes me stealthier in my attack of things. In a funny way, though, it doesn’t make work inconsequential. It makes the work mean more because I know that somewhere down the road, my kids will see my movies. I approach everything now by considering what it might or could potentially mean to them down the road.
On great movies:
No, but strangely enough, I like “Saturday Night Fever” (laughter). I did. I loved it. But it wasn’t because of the bad suits and the dancing although I can do the hustle as I’ve proven today. I didn’t know people could live like that (until I saw that movie). I had only seen my corner of the world which was Oklahoma and Missouri. That there are other complete ways to attack life—this idea of a different culture—I got most intrigued by. I’ve always liked films. I remember watching “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” in kindergarten.

Don’t get me wrong; I’ve loved Brad since the first time I set eyes on him in Thelma & Louise, and the thought of him being a little homebody watching videos and playing with the kids makes my feel warm and fuzzy. BUT it makes it so hard for me to fantasize about him as a sexual object! Every time is start to undress him in my mind and get a good look at that famous six-pack, Maddox comes into the picture and drags him off to a soccer game!!!!lol

Brilliant, feel the love…….I see a whole new sensitive side to Brad since he’s been shacked up with the beautiful Angelina ans off springs!
I think this is the main reason why Jen can’t get over it, she wanted this side of Brad.

i believe angelina helped bring this side out in brad, i think seeing her as a mother is a part of why he fell in love. they are just such a lovely family.

Cattie,
I’m pretty sure he wanted kids and she didn’t want any. Correct me if I’m wrong…

Let me see…a soccer team. They can adopt and they can have more kids the natural way too in between Angie’s films of course. Since he is a producer for Plan B, he can schedule what they seem to be doing now. If he is filming, Angie stays with the kids, if Angie is filming, he stays with them. This might be the reason why he did not accept Atlas Shrugged because they will be working at the same time. After India, he starts “Benjamin Button” and they will be in New Orleans for that, Angie’s turn to stay with the children. What a great interview at Universal Hilton. Thank you JustJared.

LOL!
I’ve seen shark tale 30 times, Monster’s Inc. 43 times, Lilo & Stitch 37 times, Ice Age 15 times, Barney’s Videos, Pinoccio, Finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life, Bambi, Mulan Part I and II about million times. well, i lost count actually. LOL
But, that’s the life when you are a parent. I dreamt of barney for couple of times becuz my daughter played the video almost 5 times a day! =P
it is cute to figure how brad sitting in front of the tv watching those kids’ movie with his kids.
well, maria, i have to disagree with you for this one. =p cuz i see a family man is sexy.
i don’t know, if i just want to be wild and have that one night hot sex, then maybe the old image of brad will be my choice.*lol*
but i prefer a stable life. so i think a family man brad is sexy. he still has that body of god, rite? so, he is hot, still. and angie can drag him to the bathroom to do the quickie when the kids still awake. hhmmmm…. another wishful thinking of brangelina erotica dvd comes to mind…*lol*

oh, and the idea of having a soccer team of their own? LOL that’s so funny.
well, maybe there was a truth about brad wants another child story…
yeah.. we all know he wants a lot of kids. angie also said in her anderson cooper interview that they will adopt for the next kid.
really can’t wait to see their spreading family… i really admire what they do with those orphans…

BRAD has a way with words. Short of a few credits for a journalism degree ,he knows how to put punch in his talk with the press.
Entertaining and funny. Way to go, Bradley.!!
SOCCER team…..Love that..

Hello Robyn, Yes Jen wanted her A list career instead of starting a family and now it seems she’s still chasing that dream. I don’t think it will ever happen Jen will always be seen as a ‘Sitcom Actress’. I do Feel for her though.
Must be hard looking at Brad & Angie happily shacked up with a beautiful family on the cover of ever other magazine, I know I would be MAD!
She should’ve given Brad what he wanted because he was trying to make her happy.
Oh well, Whatever will be.

Welcome Robynn, but what happened to Christina? The previous blogger of this site.
Robyn
Oct 6, 2006 at 3:09 pm
Christina regrettably gave up Pittwatch as she had too much on her plate. You still see her in the comments (can’t take away her love for Brad LOL) now and then. I think she talks about leaving on my intro post (Sunday or Monday of this week).
Thanks for the welcome!

I don’t think that’s the reason…Jen is too controling…look what she did to Vince Vaughn life.
Also I don’t see her as a mother, no matter how much she talks about it…she doesn’t put the energy into it like she does her career. I don’t think she won’t have one child but let’s be real, it was Jen how was the most upset about getting pregnant. Brad has been a one note trumpet on this issue from before the beginning of their relationship.
While with Angie, he couldn’t run fast enough into domestic bliss with her, including living together…while he was still going through the divorce process.
This is a big deal because Aniston had to drag him there and people still didn’t think he would show up for the wedding until it was over.
