Brad's Jab at Mel Gibson

Brad Pitt in Toronto: Click to watchWhile 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?

31. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROVOKED THE COMMENT,WHICH APPEARS TO BE A JAB AT MEL. TOM WAS CRUCIFIED WHEN HE MADE A COMMENT ABOUT BROOKE. BRAD PORTRAY'S HIMSELF AS A PERSON WITH CONSCIENCE TO THE DOWN TRODDEN. MEL HAS BEEN KICKED DOWN SO MUCH LATELY THAT THIS WAS A CHEAP SHOT. IT GOES TO SHOW YOU THE GOODWILL IS ONLY A IMAGE THING AND NOT IN HIS HEART. EVERYONE LOVES THEIR KIDS REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE ADOPTED OR BIRHT CHILD. BRAD DOES NOT HAVE A PATENT TO THE FEELINGS. WE ARE ALL HERO'S IN THAT DEPARTMENT. MEL RAISED KIDS TOO. I'M SURE THEY HAVE FEELINGS AND ARE HURT BY THE COMMENTS. DO YOU HAVE TO BE FROM AFRICA TO GET RESPECT FORM BRAD. HE HAS DONE SOME GOOD WORKS BUT CHEAP SHOT'S ARE UNWORTHY OF THE IMAGE HE IS PRESENTING TO THE WORLD. GROW UP.

32. Which movie, MiMi?.......with so many coming out, it's hard to tell to which you are referring. Doubt they will bomb, cuz Brad cracked a joke. He is on top of the world, plenty of work, beautiful woman and family.

Get off your soap box and lighten up.

33. brad's HILARIOUS! and you know it!

losers, get off your high horses and stop criticizing everything that people do! Ever thought that maybe he already had an interest in charity work, and finally found someone he could do it with, instead of just going tanning with? eh?

brad is HOT, NICE, AND FAB! Thank goodness he finally got to be a dad, at 43....how many of your dads had to wait that long, eh?

34. YOU CAN'T PREACH WHAT A MORALLY RIGHT AND GOOD PERSON YOU ARE ON ONE HAND AND PUBLICLY INSULT SOMEONE REGARDLESS WHO IT IS ON THE OTHER HAND. HE SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO HIS KIDS WHY MOMMA ANGIE LOOKS LIKE AN ETCHA SKETCH AND ABOUT WHAT A "PSYCHO SLUT BAG MIA FARROW WANNA-BE" HE HOOKED UP WITH!!!!!!

35. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ALL THESE HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE HAVE THE BIGGEST EGOS IN THE UNIVERSE. THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL LIFE PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME HAVE, AND REALLY COULDN'T CARE LESS. SO WHY DO SOME OF YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT THESE SO CALLED CELEBRITIES SAY OR DO? DOLORES

36. So, Brad isn't going to consider getting married until everyone can legally. Um, where oh where was his conscience and sense of fairness & equality when he married Jennifer? Thanks for the thought, Brad, but until the country as a whole wakes up and demands this hypocritical government change immediately, you may as well get married. Again.

37. Can you people at least get other sources before you judgemental selves show your ugly side. He never called Mel Gibson's name, but what is the truth to TMZ when they can whip up a little controversy.

The day that Harvey Levin and TMZ will accurately report news on Brad and Angelina, that is the the day I will take him seriously. Harvey you are more interested in showing whoring yourself to every tv show feigning anger at Mel Gibson. I hope you saw people's reaction at the Toronto film festivals, that is the people making a statement that Brad Pitt is the hottest movie star today.

Whatever money Huvane is paying you, you and a few bitter dumped women that camp out on your blog to criticize everthing Brad and Angelina are really insignificant. You can call him whatever helps you get through in your boring life, but the truth is that you came to a blog, watched a video on Brad and went on to comment how bored you are with him, how bored can you be to have all that time for him.

Get of your moral high horse before you fall on your face, Brad and Angie are here to stay, you morons.

38. Boy you guys have no sense of humor at all. It was more of joke about the pictures the celebrity photo hounds use to add to their ruse when stocking celebrities. "Pull up the worst picture you can come up with."

Several times in the past we've all seen the lousy pictures they were taking of Mel and most of you’ all pointed it out when the articles were about Mel. But if someone else points it out, even as a joke, you have a cow. Most of you’ all out there are being hypocrites.

39. I'm not a fan of Mel's anymore - but this is demeaning to poor Gibson. Brad the Pitt compared to Mel. Please.
Brad DID have a break down and instead of shouting racial slurs, he decided to USE kids, Angelina, and now the Gay community - to promote himself.

Posted at 4:50PM on Sep 11th 2006 by Shut up Braaaaaaaaaaad

40. You don't have to critize Brad. He opens his mouth and the world can see he's an idiot. He is the most boring, full of himself star out thier.

41. That's okay Brad most sane people on the Universe have thrown your past films out.
Also, what is with this guy constantly talking about his kids, making them into mini stars / using them to help his image. AND THEN he will most likely freak out when the tiny tots with no privacy, are hounded by the papparazzi.
Is it just me or is Brad INCOURAGING more press to follow him.

42. He's is doing those STUPID things to get more publicity.
He CAN'T be compared to a mega START as Mel Gibson.

43. Brad is a jerk !

He should NOT be judging anyone....take a look in the mirror Brad.... cheater and dope - smoker !

44. Brad Pitt is a great actor in my mind but Brad like most actor's will no doubt take a jab at a fellow actor who does not have the same politics or liberal views. So I am not surprised the Brad wanted to get a kick out of the moment and mock Mel. Everyone knows that Mel's trying to be a good Christian, he admitted his fault and admitted it's a sin!, Just by observing his lifestyle Pitt does not even recognize the notion or concept of Sin, so why not kick a guy when he's down? Very dissapointing, Mel paved the way for guys like Pitt- so go ahead Brad joke all you want, but you are not the original Sexiest man ALive Booyaa!

45. Oooh all right, "dope smoker" now I'm interested! That's like the most healthy thing a celebrity can do smoke. At least he’s not a nasty cigarette smoker. Now that something to be ashamed of.
