A week after Brad Pitt confirmed the news which shocked the world that he and his wife Angelina Jolie are divorcing he is now bowing out of publicity duties as the narrator of Terrence Malick’s, 30-years-in-the-making 'Voyage of Time: Life's Journey.
The IMAX film, which releases in (US) theatres October 7, is now not a priority for him to promote given his delicate family circumstances.
Brad Pitt told 'Access Hollywood' exclusively:
“Terrence’s Voyage of Time is an incredibly beautiful and unique experiential IMAX film for children and families chronicling the birth of time. I’m very grateful to be part of such a fascinating and educational project, but I’m currently focused on my family situation and don’t want to distract attention away from this extraordinary film, which I encourage everyone to see.”
“I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids,” Pitt said, referring to his six children with Jolie. “I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time.”
Angelina's attorney confirmed the split last week, saying, “Angelina Jolie-Pitt has filed for dissolution of the marriage. This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”
Later in the day, the actress’s manager followed up with a second statement, adding, “Angelina will always do what’s in the best interest of taking care of her family. She appreciates everyone’s understanding of their need for privacy at this time.”
Angelina filed for divorce after an alleged argument which took place while the family was flying on a private jet from France to the United States. Because the reported incident took place in flight—where the F.B.I. has special aircraft jurisdiction—the F.B.I. has since confirmed they are gathering info about the alleged event before, before deciding whether to launch an investigation.
