Although the films provided Black with added exposure, they strayed from the type of work that had garnered him a determined cult following.

Personal Life

On May 14, 2008, Black let the news slip that co-star Angelina Jolie was pregnant with twins during a joint interview at the Cannes Film Festival in France to promote their animated movie Kung Fu Panda. Since that accidental revelation, Black has expanded his own family. He and his wife Tayna Haden welcomed a son named Thomas Jack. The couple has another child, Samuel, who was born in 2006. Jolie and Black's animated film project, Kung Fu Panda, went on to score big at the box office, earning approximately $60 million in its opening weekend. Later this summer, Black appeared in Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. In 2009, he starred in the comedy Year One with Michael Cera. He also provided the voice of Eddie Rigs in the new video game, Brütal Legend.
