The poor kid can't even go play with his remote control cars without a swarm of photogs descending. It must suck to be 4 (?) years old and every time you go out of the house, there the bloodsuckers are. It seems like such an extreme invasion. And before anyone suggests staying indoors I will ask if they've ever tried to do that with a 4 year old? You need to get out with the kids and shouldn't be forced to live in an ivory tower.

He's such a cute kid. They're going to have to watch out when he turns 18, and make sure Paris doesn't get to set her sites on him. You know she'd do it, too.

He does have to deal with the paps being everywhere, and probably will for the majority of his life. I feel kind of two faced saying how bad it is seeing how I love looking at the pics on here...kinda feel like I am feeding that frenzy...

I see what you're saying, Killjoy, but I also think that taking your kid to the park shouldn't turn into a feeding grenzy for the paps. Lots of people make alot of money but don't have to put up with this shit. And yes, sure, they chose thier line of work, but they didn't create the paps or those of us who consume what the paps put out there (I too feel a bit guilty). I have kids and suppose I did something that I loved which drove an interest in me personally. Does that mean I shouldn't be able to take my kids out without being mobbed, even to a tiny park to play? I don't know, it's a tough one, but watching that video made me feel a bit sad.

At least they are still letting him have a childhood. The really sad thing would be if they were making him stay inside. I know they don't like being followed 24/7, but perhaps they have accepted that it will happen and just go on with their lives.

And he does look like he loves the kid. It doesn't seem forced at all. They seem to have a great time together.

Brad just looked so happy to have a playmate!

Uh I did not see a swarm. And can someone feel sorry for me as well? I bust my ass Mon.- Fri. work 9-5 and still can't pay my rent. I would rather have someone take my picture than to be borderline homeless. He will survive.

Well, can't they just move to remote Cambodia and raise him with the villagers?

As a mommy, that would freak me out if I was out and someone started filming my kid. The zoom on that thing is ridiculous! But, I also think Brad ignoring it was probably the best way to handle it. It didn't look the little guy even realized they were there and if the parents don't freak out, there's no reason for the little ones to freak. But, I'd probably freak.

kind of sad, kid won't be able to have friends his own age he moves around so much

I don't worry about the kid. He's set for life.

LunaShar · February 25th, 2006, 08:13 AM

^^For four lives , id say!
i just cant feel sorry for them, i would have felt sorry for him if Angelina never had spotted him in Camboy.
His life would have been of pure missery in Camboy.
To me, hes one of the luckiest kids in the world.

If I hear or read anything by AJ or low-IQ Brad about how Maddox can't go anywhere without cameras clicking I'll spit up. AJ purposely bought children and is giving birth to another even though she knew (duh) what her life entailed. This business about blaming others for your life, that you made is insane. Yeah, feel sorry for Maddox if you want (he'll probably end up in therapy like tons of people) but, he can afford it. I'm going out of the house today and if anyone would like to give me 40 million dollars and take my picture that would be fine. I'll wear lipstick!
