Angelina Jolie Talks About How Brad Pitt Ended Up Walking With A Cane! Who Was He Protecting?

He was protecting daughter Vivienne from falling!

"Everything becomes such a huge thing doesn't it? Vivi's okay. She was absolutely fine. He took the fall. It was just to make sure," Angelina tells OK!. "When Maddox was younger, I took a fall and cracked my elbow because I wanted to make he wasn't injured." Aww, what protective parents!

Angie can't recall if that ever happened when she was young, "My mother's not alive. I couldn't ask her. Every parent will stand in the line of fire for their kids. It's quite a normal thing."

But is Brad letting Angie help him do things around the house? No way! "He's not that kind of guy. He does everything still. I like the cane!"

With Brad getting such an honor tonight, Angie admitted that she is most proud of Brad "when I see his films."

As for Angie's next project, many wonder if she will write another script after the critical acclaim of her new film, The Land of Blood and Honey, which she wrote and directed. "It's such a weird thing, I sit down to write something, and I can't believe it's become a film. I do have a pile of things that I haven't shown anybody including one on Afghanistan. I'll let you know if anything comes of them."
