More Baby Talk About Angelina Jolie's Twins

Veteran film actor Jon Voight talked to the Insider about the arrival of his new grandchildren. His daughter Angelina Jolie gave birth via C-section on Saturday to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France.

Voight, who has somewhat of a strained relationship with his ultrafamous daughter, wasn't present.

"I'm over the moon. Thanks for letting me send my love to them. If I were called today, I'd be there," he said in an interview.

So he doesn't even have her phone number to call her himself? Definitely strained.

The French are loving all of the attention their country is getting since Angie and baby daddy Brad Pitt moved into their burg. Angie's doctor held a press conference on the hospital steps on Sunday afternoon.

Brad and Angie and the new kids are "fine" and there were "absolutely no problems" during the birth, according to Dr. Michel Sussman.

"It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy," Dr. Sussman said. He added that Brad cut the cords.

Well, the rest of the kids (except maybe for Shiloh) didn't allow him that opportunity.
