Barack Obama and Brad Pitt - Cousins!?
For those who didn’t hear it before, Joy Behar asked it for us on The View. She said to Barack Obama, presidential candidate, “I understand that you’re related to Brad Pitt, in some way.”
The claim was originally made by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, saying that Brad and Barack are distant cousins. They are related through a man named Edwin Hickman, who died in 1769 in Virginia.
Barack said, “I guess we’re ninth cousins, something, removed - or something. I think he got the better looking side of the gene pool.”
You have to admire his sense of humor!
