Fans Sensed Brad Pitt Was Uncomfortable And Taken Aback By The Zahara Question
With Shiloh requesting her last name to be changed, discussing his children has now become a touchy topic for Brad Pitt. It is said that behind the scenes, the actor is doing his best to repair relationships. However, fans sensed that Pitt has been out of the loop with his kids for quite some time.
Fans felt as though that was on full display during his interview with People on the red carpet. Pitt was asked about his daughter Zahara picking a college, which was posted to IG by Angelina Jolie. Brad looked taken aback by the question, and visibly emotional as well.
Pitt answers, “Yeah, that’s beautiful. Just… it’s really beautiful,” an emotional Pitt responds.
Fans had many different interpretations of his answer. Some praised Pitt for keeping things short and classy, while others felt like the actor didn’t even know.
Fans wrote:
“When you find out news about your kid through the streets.”
“He looked like he was going start crying a little when asked about his daughter.”
“Strange response. I wonder if he wasn’t told and just found out from the interviewer.”
“He doesn’t looked surprised about Zahara announcing college choice. He just sounds like it got to him.”
As for Angelina Jolie, she took to Instagram and celebrated the moment. She wrote, “Zahara with her Spelman sisters! Congratulations to all new students starting this year. A very special place and an honor to have a family member as a new Spelman girl. #spelman #spelmancollege #spelmansisters #HBCU.”
Brad Pitt Kept Things Light The Final Time He Mentioned Shiloh In Public
Pitt is keeping things quiet with regard to his life as a dad. In fact, one of the final statements about Shiloh came two summers ago, in 2022. Pitt was gushing about Shiloh’s dance skills. Her moves went viral online and the actor could not have been more proud.
He said at the time, “It brings a tear to the eye, yeah. I don’t know where she got it from. I’m Mr. Two-Left-Feet here.”
Things have certainly taken a turn for both since 2006, particularly following Pitt’s split from Angelina Jolie. Looking way back at Shiloh’s birth, things were completely different. Brad was amazed by how peaceful Shiloh’s birth was at the time.
“I’d just like to thank the people of Namibia,” Pitt said. “They’ve been so gracious and made our stay here very special, and because of that we’ve had an incredible time with our family exploring the country, and (had) a truly peaceful birth of our daughter.”
Although it was a peaceful birth, Pitt hasn’t shied away from the fact that parenting involves a lot of pressure, even for someone as established as an A-list actor.
Brad Pitt Got Candid In The Past About The Pressure Involved In Being A Dad
One of Pitt’s most vulnerable conversations came alongside CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. Pitt was vulnerable while talking about fatherhood. Brad felt a lot of pressure, especially looking back at how his father raised him.
“My individual experience is somewhat universal, in the fact that you know our parents, our universe, our gods, our first imprint on on how to behave, react, feel in the world. And with that, to different degrees, some of us more than others, carry pain and confusion from that. I think it almost takes a lifetime to understand what was yours, and what was theirs.”
“My dad always said he wanted to give me a better life than he had coming from extreme poverty, and he did it. And it makes me think, as a dad, what do I have to offer that’s better than I had, to my kids?”
After getting sober, Pitt admits his perspective on life changed drastically.
“What I realized is that I was running to avoid tough feelings, painful feelings. I want to sit in it, I want to feel it, I want to get through the rough night. I found in doing so, you come out the other side with a more profound understanding, of yourself and a greater gratefulness of those in your life.”
As for his life nowadays, it was reported that Pitt has every intention of starting a family with Ines De Ramon, while feeling sorry and wanting to rekindle a relationship with his kids is also atop the list, according to recent speculation.
