Robin Thicke and Paula Patton could be next Brangelina
OHMYGOSSIP — Robin Thicke’s dad wants him and his wife Paula Patton to “adopt a few Ethiopian kids”. The ‘Blurred Lines’ singer’s father, Alan, thinks that if he and his actress spouse Paula Patton – who have both had huge breakthroughs in their careers in 2013 – adopted children from less fortunate backgrounds, they could be like the famous philanthropic couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Alan told Us Weekly: “I told him, ‘You’re a power couple now. If you only adopt a few Ethiopian kids, you’d be the next Brangelina.”
Brad, 49, and Angelina, 38, have three adopted children – Maddox, 12, from Cambodia; Pax, nine, born in Vietnam and Zahara, eight, originally born in Ethiopia – as well as Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
Alan – best known for his role in ‘Growing Pains’ – added he had always wanted to be a singer himself, but never made it and he’s glad his son has been so successful, after his track ‘Blurred Lines’ made him a global star this year.
The 66-year-old actor added: “I’m thrilled for him. I’ve always dabbled in music. If I could have grown up to be Robin Thicke, I would have. But I’m glad somebody in the family did.”
