I think it speaks to his their sense of humor… i like it. They know what’s important.

Guys, lighten up! I am sure that she was joking with him. There’s no way she’d divorce him for making movies. I am sure it was only a joke. Just a joke. Kinda like I tell my guy “if you don’t take out the trash, I’m gonna kill you!” It’s just a joke. I’m not really going to murder him for not taking out the trash!

As Ans guessed, the tabloids have picked it up already. Very snarky reference to the story in the Star here:

When I read that comment I imagined her saying it in a joking manner. Kind of like, gee, you seem to want to spend a lot of time away from me.

Aloe, seriously? I doubt they’ll go bankrupt if he takes some time off for his FAMILY. I mean, how much money does he make for his movies? MILLIONS!

And a lot of you are taking this comment WAY out of context! Come on, it was most likely said in a joking manner and even if it wasn’t, good for her! She goes after what she wants. She wants a husband and she wants her daughters to have a father around. And when he’s away working on movies, they can’t really have that. So, good for you, Luciana!

What a funny comment!! ha ha ha ha

Ps. Taylor I agree with you 100%

Aloe, i don’t think they have to make ends meet. he makes millions and can easily take time off if he wants too.

I agree with everyone who says that it was said in a joking manner. If it had been a threat do you really believe he’d repeat it to the press?

Taylor I think you have the right take on this. There is no way he’d make that comment if it was a “threat”. And please, there is no reason he has to work the way he did when he was single. I am sure they can pay the bills for a long time with what he’s made doing the Bourne series. As someone noted above he’s said that himself. I think the whole point of his comment was that he used to work a ton and now he needs to slow down.

You guys take things WAY too seriously. It sounds like she was saying it more in a joking manner. I’m sure that if they were having that kind of problem in their marriage, he certainly wouldn’t tell the press. He’s always been far more reserved than that about his private life. Geez. . .learn to lighten up a bit and give the guy a break.

That comment is just odd, I am sure it’s hard to have a major movie star husband and stay home with the kids when all the women want him. What drives you to him also drives you crazy I am sure.
