Brad's Jab at Mel Gibson

Posted Sep 11th 2006 1:13PM by TMZ Staff

While in Toronto promoting his new film, Brad Pitt referenced Mel Gibson's recent DUI arrest as cameras snapped his photo. After cracking a funny face, the actor joked, "That's the picture that's going to end up when I have a breakdown or something ... when I get arrested for a DUI late at night, make racial slurs or something."

Pitt also talked candidly about his children with Angelina Jolie, worrying about them seeing his past films. "Oh my God, what did I do? What are they gonna see? Films from the past, I start making that list and ah, but it definitely colors what I'll approach in the future, I'll try to be a little bit more mature about my decisions."

While Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh probably won't be seeing Pitt's "Seven" or "Interview with the Vampire" anytime soon, it's Angie's repertoire he should be worried about -- "Original Sin" and "Gia," anyone?

226. What a wonderful human being Brad is. Making fun of others in their time of misery. Maybe he wants to mock the orphans that Angelina helps as well? Just when I thought Brad Pitt could not be any more of an @ss, he surprises me. Bravo.

227. I would think that Brad was mocking the press for using the most incriminating photos that they can take (or find) when a celebrity makes a mistake,

231. I have to agree with Amanda. Brad is becoming just like Angelina. She definetly wears the pants in the relationship. As for him being a great dad, well only Angelina really knows. What I still don't understand is why in every picture you see of the two of them are they never close to each other or holding hands or arms around each other. When he was dating and married to Jen he was so into her. Held her tight like he never wanted to let her go. As for the Mel statment, its just not right no matter how it was said. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

232. who really cares? Mel is a racist and Brad is a cheat...and they don't give a shit what we have to say about it....They are laughing all the way to the bank...

Kelly Schuler...I think it's very sad that you cant adopt a child that you want.....I'm sorry we live in a world that punishes you for your sexual preference....

233. Brad Pitt is pukifying. He hung onto Jennifer's coat tails, barely worked during their marriage and lived over her Friends income. Now he's riding the coat tails of his notoriety for PR purposes. In my most humble opinion, Brad Pitt is the worst of the worst.

don't hold your breath Laura!!!!!!....nevermind, go ahead

The Daily Mail says:

(Paramount) is determined to keep the lucrative series alive after "Mission : Impossible III" took $400 million at the box office, with the previous episode taking $545 million … Sources say Paramount is prepared to do whatever it takes to get Pitt on board, and is even willing to make him the highest-paid movie star in history, with a salary topping $40 million … "Everything's being kept top secret, but they're offering Brad a deal no one could possibly refuse. There's no doubt, this would make Brad Pitt the biggest and highest paid star in the world."

235. Goodness, lets see now, Jen and her BFF Courtney Cox don't believe any cheating occurred while they were married. How do you know better then the Ex wife and her BFF Courtney Cox. Were all you in the marriage too? Obviously just too many people in this marriage. no wonder the marriage broke up. LOL.

As for the so called uncalled for comments on Mel Gibson, hey, Brad never referred to Mel did he? how do you know for sure he was making fun of Mel. Did you read his mind?? See how easy it is for the media to manipulate you??

Oh BTW Laura, I think Brad is already preparing for the time when he will retire. That's Plan B. Get it, Plan B. Let's see now, he had Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (BIG HIT) , God Grew Tired of Us (Sundance award winning movie), Running with Scissors (possible nomination for Annette Benning for an Oscar), The Departed (Scorcese - need I say more). None of these Plan B movies star Brad Pitt. Brad already has his retirement from acting mapped out.

Margaret, you're the most hilarious, Brad living off Jennifer money ROFLMAO.

236. I like Brad just fine. His movies are good, he does no harm, and some good, and the fact that he isn't an anti-semite, certainly isn't something to dislike him for. Young people do take themselves seriously, but the fact that Brad isn't a drunken brawler, is something he has over most hollywood heroes...
