Angie Gabs with OK! Australia
Angie recently sat down to talk to Ok! Australia and share some intimate details of her life and family.
Apperantly Little Maddox has a sense of humor.
My eldest son [Maddox] started to call me Angie for fun, he thinks it’s hysterical! He does [still call me mommy], both daddy and mommy, but when he’s being silly with me it’s Angie. They all [know how to tease me] - they’ve all been making fun of me!
Angie defends her decision in raising her children internationally. And her inability to cook pasta.
“I think we both see the importance of raising children internationally and traveling a lot with our kids - we take our kids to work with us all around the world! I mean, my kids are my friends. We both enjoy our children and we laugh with them, and if they’re up too late because we’re having a great time with them that’s OK. I thought Mariane would be this perfect French woman and I thought, ‘She’s going to embarrass me and she’s going to make the perfect lunch and she’s going to have toys that are going to be educational.’ But we met and we both couldn’t figure out how to make pasta! We’re so not perfect, which is really nice.”
Her Partner as a producer and as a father.
[Working with Brad] went very smoothly. He’s a great producer, but he was also at home being a great dad. He was with the kids every single day while I was shooting A Mighty Heart.
Angelina has the perfect life.
I complain very little these days. As long as my kids are healthy, I have everything.
How is Pax adjusting to life with his new family?Being Hollywood Royalty?
He’s great, he’s amazing. He’s taught us all a great deal. He’s learning English and every day he seems to know more and more. It was a very big change for him… It was, yeah, but we were very prepared for that. We talked to a lot of people. We had a translator for a long time to help explain things to him. We didn’t push ourselves or our family onto him, we let him slowly come to us and be as close to us as he wants to be. Now he’s so loving and affectionate and fun. Our only thing now is keeping him calm because he gets so excited.
Whats a day in the life for the Branelina gang?
Well, we move about a lot. Brad was shooting in New Orleans so we’ve been at our home there… Then we’re in Prague. But wherever we go it’s a lot of getting the kids ready for school in the morning, which is a little crazy with that many.
Yes, they have help, there you go-but its for safety reason.
[We have help] — during the day - if all four kids are with us. It’s for their safety. You know, to make sure one doesn’t run out of the room or anything.
Angelina shares my obsession in packing lightly.
We do, although I’m a bit insane about very minimal luggage. I’m that person that doesn’t let anybody bring too much! Where do you find your energy for Brad and the kids? I just love it. I mean, we woke up so tired this morning and they were so loud in our room, but it’s just the joy of life to me.
