Lawrence Pio. “Brad Pitt comes from a very traditional background, deep in America. As a child, he said a blessing at the table.”

“Raising children, along with Brad Pitt’s alcoholism, is what quickly separated him from Angelina Jolie,” explains Laurence Pio. The journalist who signed the book with Hervé Tropea Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the secrets of the divorce of the centuryPosted by Hachette Pratique on November 2, chatted Madame Figaro about the differences that have pitted the two actors against each other for years. They include how they want to raise their children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, Vivienne and Knox, 15. Lawrence Pio really came back to the difference of opinion on education between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, both of whom grew up in very different environments.

“For him, education is respect for authority”

“Brad Pitt comes from a very traditional background, deep in America,” explains Laurence Pio. As a child, he recited blessings at the table. He had a strong father, a very attentive mother. He grew up with rules, and for him education is respect for authority.” In his future home, the actor also intends to recreate “his mother’s gentleness, constant attention” but also “his father Bill’s quiet strength, the love of their home” and “the solidarity between brothers and sisters,” write Laurence Pio and Hervé Tropea. Thus, he applies his parents’ philosophy to the education of his children. “He believes that when you fall, you have to get up,” continues Laurence Pio. However, when Maddox is injured, Angelina Jolie showers him with gifts. And therein lies the problem.

Angelina Jolie, for her part, is “a pure product of a positive upbringing.” “Her mother (Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007, Editor’s note) raised alone and passed everything to him, the journalist analyzes. Angelina Jolie reproduces this with her children, talking to them a lot, explaining her and her husband’s decisions. As they paint on the wall, she applauds their creation of Brad Pitt seeing red. And it will not be the only subject of their disagreement. The actor also did not take kindly to the fact that Angelina Jolie takes her children on a trip. “Brad Pitt finds that their children need roots because during his childhood in Springfield he benefited from an environment that gave him security and allowed him to move forward in life,” emphasizes Laurence Pio. Angelina Jolie wants to make them citizens of the world. They constantly clash over this.” The disputes culminated in a heated argument on a private jet in 2016, after which the couple announced their separation.
