Throughout Angelina Jolie's career, she has starred in a long list of movies that made a fortune at the box office. As a result of that success, Jolie has gotten to work with many of the biggest movie stars, including Jack Black.
During Black's career, he has always been more open than most stars. One example of that is the time Black revealed how miserable he was making Tropic Thunder. Unfortunately for Jolie, Black was once open about her when he confirmed the secret that she was having twins. After that, Jolie paid Black back in a stunning way.
Angelina Jolie's Stunning Reaction To Jack Black Telling Her Secret
In the years since Angelina Jolie became famous, many observers have come to perceive her as a harsh person. While that image was largely set in stone after the controversial start of her relationship with Brad Pitt, she likely has gotten a bad rap. For example, the story of how Jolie reacted after Jack Black let out a huge secret she had says a lot about her.
After Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt kept the fact that they were having twins secret for months, Jack Black revealed their secret. Considering how closely stars like Jolie and Pitt guard their privacy, it is easy to imagine them never talking to Black again.
As it turns out, however, Jolie greeted Black's slip-up with nothing but kindness towards him and his wife. When Black and Jolie were promoting Kung Fu Panda 2 together in 2011, Black revealed how Jolie treated him after he revealed her secret.
Was Billy Bob Thornton In A Secret Love Triangle With Angelina Jolie And Halle Berry?
During Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's marriage, Hally Berry may have come between them.
"You were preggers, and I spilled the beans. And my wife, Tanya, was like, 'That is the most amazing maternity dress I've ever seen.' You had this gorgeous gown, and she was less preggers, but she had one on the way as well. And you're like, 'Oh, thanks.' And then, what do we get in the mail like the next week? That gown," Black said to Jolie. "You sent it over. It was one of the sweetest gifts of all time."
According to a Today article about Jolie's gift to Black's wife, it wasn't just a gown anyone could get that was given as a gift. Instead, it was a gorgeous piece that was beautiful enough for a major star to wear to a major red carpet event.
Today's article revealed that the gown was a Max Azria dress that Jolie had worn while on the red carpet while pregnant with her twins.
How Jack Black Revealed Angelina Jolie's Big Secret
On July 12, 2008, Angelina Jolie gave birth to her twins, Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. In the months leading up to that birth, it was widely known that Jolie was pregnant, but it had never been confirmed she was having twins.
Instead, it was Jack Black who wound up letting the cat out of the bag, to the point that Jolie had to confirm the news. Black let the world in on the fact that Jolie was having twins during an appearance on Today.
Who are Angelina Jolie's children, according to People?
- Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt
- Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
- Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt
- Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt
- Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt
- Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt
In May 2008, Black and Jolie were being interviewed together about Kung Fu Panda. During the resulting conversation, Black made a joke while addressing Jolie about her being an expecting mother when she already had four children.
“(You and Brad Pitt will) have as many as (the) ‘Brady Bunch’ when you have these.”
At face value, that joke may not seem that remarkable, but it was Black's choice of the word "these" that made the difference. Since Black said the word "these", which refers to more than one, his joke implied that Jolie was having twins.
Unfortunately for Black, Today's interviewer instantly picked up on the implication of Black's joke. As a result, the interviewer turned to Jolie and asked, "It's confirmed?"
Based on how Jolie responded to that question, it seemed like she wanted to downplay the significance of the moment at first. Within seconds, however, Jolie dropped the facade and admitted that Black had just revealed something she and Pitt hadn't shared with the world.
“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already. Well, Jack’s just confirmed it, actually.”
Black reacted to Jolie's comment by asking if he really had revealed something she'd kept secret. “Is that true?” When Jolie admitted, “Yeah, you did.” Black quickly apologized to her, "Sorry."
Why Jack Black Revealed Angelina Jolie Was Having Twins
Unfortunately for Angelina Jolie and Jack Black, news about famous people is currency for a lot of people. As a result, there have been many celebrities who've had people they let into their lives sell their secrets or make up false facts about them. As a result, when someone reveals a celebrity secret the way Jack Black did to Angelina Jolie, it makes sense to assume they have selfish intent.
Angelina Jolie's Ongoing Relationships With Her First Two Husbands Is Downright Confusing
Before Angelina Jolie married Brad Pitt, she walked down the aisle with Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.
Of course, Black was a major star himself when he revealed Jolie was having twin babies. With that in mind, it would be pretty shocking if Black intentionally sold out Jolie for financial or any other reason.
According to Angelina Jolie, she and Jack Black became friends during a promotional stunt for their first film together, Shark Tale. "That float on the shark was the beginning of a blossoming friendship. They say you learn more about somebody in an hour of play than in a year of conversation, so I think that happened.”
As Black would later tell Today in June 2008 during an interview, he didn't have a selfish reason to reveal Jolie's secret. Instead, Black slipped up because he didn't realize there was a secret, in the first place.
"Tanya told me like it was common knowledge, because she’s a triplet and she’s interested in that."
As Black went on to explain, his wife had told him about the reports that Jolie was having twins which were based on rumors.
According to what Black told Today, the good news is that Jolie and Brad Pitt weren't mad at him. Instead, Black says that Jolie actually was relieved when he told the world they were having twins.
"She was actually relieved. She wanted to spill the beans and didn’t know how to, and I did it for her."
