The fascination with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is bordering on insanity given that two paparazzi recently sneaked on the couple’s French estate and attacked bodyguards when they were discovered.

The Jolie-Pitts are currently in France, trying to enjoy some peace and privacy and their newborn twins’ first weeks on this planet but the paparazzi seem to be obsessed – what else would possess two grown men to don camouflage gear and sneak onto the couple’s property?

Reuters reports that the break-in and attack has been confirmed by the couple’s security chief.

Tony Webb, head of the team guarding the Chateau Miraval estate where Jolie, Pitt and their six children are currently residing, told Reuters that two men were discovered on the grounds.

When bodyguards tried to escort off the private property, the two men went “beserk.”

“We caught the two and tried to escort them off the property, Webb told Reuters of the incident which occurred Thursday afternoon. “The guy’s just gone beserk, thrashing out, kicking and actually biting one of the security people, breaking his finger, drawing blood and screaming that he had Hepatitis C,” he continued.

The matter soon became police business, as an officer at the police station in nearby Brignoles village confirmed that an incident involving paparazzi had taken place. He offered no further details.

Earlier this week, Brad Pitt’s lawyers threatened that they would take to court anyone who published recently taken photographs of the actor’s family. A letter published by U.S. website The Smoking Gun says photographs of Brad Pitt and his family were taken “surreptitiously” in France and sold to a buyer.

Should these photographs be published, the Hollywood superstar is ready to sue the respective publication, as it would violate the actor’s right to privacy.

Angelina Jolie and newborn twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon left the hospital in Nice only last week. The 33-year-old Academy Award winner gave birth by caesarean section on July 12, at the Lenval hospital in southern France.

Webb confirmed to Reuters that the couple was willing to take legal action against photographers intruding their private space with powerful lenses. “The family are really fed up that these people are trespassing so we’re going to try to get restraining orders and use the law to do whatever we have to keep them off the property,” he said.
