Brad Was Emotional During Birth, Says Doctor

Brad Pitt was “very emotional” when it came time to welcome his newborn twins into the world, the overseeing physician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, said.

“[Angelina and Brad] were talking, they were together [throughout the labour and delivery],” Dr. Sussmann told reporters outside the Fondation Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, were actress Angelina Jolie had been waiting out the remainder of her pregnancy for the past few weeks.

“It was an epidural,” Sussmann continued, “so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. [She and Brad] were happy.”

Hollywood actor Pitt was at his partner’s side the entire time. “He was my assistant,” Sussmann joked. The Fight Club star even cut his babies’ umbilical cords.

Sussmann said: “[Brad] was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”

He then added that the caesarian was textbook, and that there were “absolutely no problems” with the birth.

But that doesn’t mean Ange will be allowed to leave early. The French doctor added that Jolie would remain in hospital for at least a few more days, until he has ensured that she and the babies are completely healthy.

“I don’t know [when they will leave the hospital],” Sussmann said. “[Jolie] will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn’t like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay.”

The doctor added: “The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are [all] fine.”
