Brad Pitt on Oprah
Brad Pitt appears on Oprah today to promote his new movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Brad is trying to get the Oscar buzz going for his film because Brad has never been nominated. Director David Fincher screened 20 minutes of the film at the Telluride film festival and the early reactions about the flick we not all favorable.
My first event here at the Telluride Film Festival was a tribute to David Fincher, arguably one the best filmmakers currently working in Hollywood. The tribute featured about 45 minutes of clips from his previous filmography, an incredibly lengthy and somewhat boring on-stage interview (thanks to Variety's unexciting critic Todd McCarthy as the interviewer), and roughly 20 minutes of select footage from his upcoming film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Highlights from Fincher's Q&A included referencing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as the the film that sparked his interest in filmmaking as well as mentioning I Saw What You Did, Jaws, and Rear Window as the movies that he remembers most as a kid. And as for the Benjamin Button footage - it unfortunately wasn't that great. source
Watch Brad Pitt talk to Oprah about his baby mama Angelina and the kids. Brad also chats about how his young daughter Shiloh wants to be called "John" or "Peter" because she has a fascination with Peter Pan.
Kids with names that are outside the norm usually end up wanting their names changed to something more like everyone else's. Now Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's two-and-half-year old daughter has upped the ante. Shiloh will only respond to the name 'John.' Brad Pitt made this hilarious admission to Oprah Winfrey on her program scheduled to air Nov. 19, reports People.com. "She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing," Pitt says. "So we've got to call her John. 'Shi, do you want ...' – 'John. I'm John.' And then I'll say, 'John, would you like some orange juice?' And she goes, 'No!' So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people." The star of the upcoming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button says it takes a half hour jsut to get their six kids into the car. "Angie's militant about it. She's right on top of it," he says. "Thank God, because I'm always forgetting something." source
