Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt held a press conference today in Swakopmund, Namibia to thank the country for protecting their privacy and shielding them from the paparazzi during the last two months while Jolie was expecting and then giving birth to their daughter, Shiloh. The security remained tight today, with only selected journalists invited and photographers kept at a distance on the streets outside while uniformed and plainclothes police patrolled the area.
The couple ducked questions about marriage, saying only that Pitt plans to go back to work (he starts on ‘Oceans 13’ next month) while Jolie will care for the children. The conference was essentially to say good bye, as the couple is expected to return home to the United States in the next few days. Jolie said:
“We are very grateful to the people of Namibia for making our time so special … we could not have picked a better place to have our child.”
Some may think it’s a little early to fly with young Shiloh, but, maybe they just noticed, they’re in Swakopmund, Namibia. It might be nice to have Shiloh get a physical in a place where the tests don’t involve some painted warrior tying her to a rock and throwing her in a well to see if she floats. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
