Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s Biggest Fear Was Their Children’s Safety, Bodyguard Reveals
Mark 'Billy' Billingham, a directing staff of SAS Australia, has opened up about his experience of working as a bodyguard of former power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The former bodyguard said that the exes were deeply concerned about their six children’s safety when working for them.
The 55-year-old mentioned that it was good working with the exes and their kids for around 18 months. He felt it was obvious that they were worried about their kids’’ security.
Jolie and Pitt are, reportedly, devoted parents who would not shirk from going to any length for their six children’s safety. Billingham was speaking to Woman's Day when he revealed how it was working for the Troy actor and the Salt actress.
The former security guard felt it was “all about money” as the former couple had apprehensions that the kids could be kidnapped. Pitt and Jolie share six kids – Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and their 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Incidentally, Billingham has been a security guard for many other Hollywood A-listers, including Tom Cruise and Kate Moss. He gushed that it was an excellent experience to work with such big names in Hollywood.
The bodyguard feels that not only did he learn valuable lessons from his celebrity employers, but they also learned a lot from him. Billingham feels it was all about a mutual respect.
He added that what he loved the most about working with Hollywood A-listers such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was their ability to do impeccable time management. Billingham seems to have great respect for how former Hollywood couple managed their work, family life, as well as charity, Geo TV reports.
Pitt and Jolie, reportedly, fell in love while shooting for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The Fight Club actor was married to the Friends alum Jennifer Aniston then. Meanwhile, Jolie and Pitt dated for around a decade before tying the knot in 2014 in France.
However, they parted ways in 2016, just two years after getting married. Their divorce came as a big shock to the world. It was, reportedly, initiated after an incident took place between the actor and his son Maddox while they were on board and returning from France.
The so-called squabble between the father and the son was investigated, but the actor was acquitted of any misconduct. He did not even have to face any charges.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are now fighting to sort out their financial and custody arrangements in court. The actor argued that he has already shelled out enough funds to his former wife. However, allegedly, Angie is asking for a larger share from his $300 million wealth, Daily Mail reports.
