Brad's Boar-ing Problem
July 31 2008, Published 3:00 p.m. ET
If you move to rural France, there's a whole load of new problems that you just never had to face in Hollywood — like keeping the local boar-hunters happy!
When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie brought 1-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne home to picturesque Chateau Miraval on July 19, they joined some of the estate’s other ccupants — scores of wild boars.
These raucous beasts roam the 1,000-acre property munching on precious grapes — a
big no-no for the wine-loving French!
So the boar population is traditionally controlled by an annual hunt, but locals feared that with the level of security surrounding the Jolie-Pitts, it would be called off this summer.
But diplomatic Brad, 44, reached out to the local hunters, sources tell OK!, and proved himself a good neighbor by meeting with the head of the local boar-hunting association to discover how he could help.
