Last May, Billy Billingham, ex-bodyguard of the Pitt-Jolie couple, made some revelations to the magazine Hello! After 18 months with them, he declared: “I learned a lot from them, just like they learned from me. I was there to provide a service, which was security for them and their families, so they could have a decent life.”
Billy Billingham then added: “They are normal people. Obviously they are very well known and are constantly in the public eye, but they are down-to-earth people. Their schedule was phenomenal. They have always made time for each other, for their children, for their work and for charity, and this is done every day. I was exhausted watching them do it and they never had any reproaches to make, neither of them.”
