Pune residents cant wait to know more of Jolie

With Hollywood’s hottest stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ready to touch Pune Sunday, residents can’t wait to see and know more of Jolie.

The visit has sparked renewed interest in Jolie who they describe as ‘a captivating but strange phenomenon’.

Residents of this pleasant city, home to the Film and Television Institute of India, the Armed Forces Medical College and many IT firms, are trying to form a clearer picture of Jolie, who arrives here Oct 1, from the scraps of information they have gleaned over the years. And the city is hoping to find out a lot more! Jolie is slated to spend six months filming a movie based on a book by Marianne Pearl, wife of slain Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl, on her husband.

But even with the planned press conferences and interviews there will always be more questions asked than answered when it comes to understanding Jolie.

John Thomas, a senior human resource executive at an IT company, says: ‘She is drop dead gorgeous. And if I was ever to see her I would get weak in my knees.’

One of her earliest directors called her ‘an extraordinary-looking creature, like some weird, undiscovered orchid’.

In films, one cannot help but notice that there is something raw, visceral and in-your-face attitude in her reactions. She seems to transcend boundaries, and people across all age groups are captivated by her.

But Jolie has been considered ‘weird’ and not always from accounts in tabloids. When married to the much older actor, Billy Bob Thornton, she carried a vial of his blood around her neck.

As if this wasn’t weird enough, Robert, a postgraduate student of political science at Pune University, says: ‘I have heard stores like she cut herself on her hand and has a collection of knives at home. If all this is true then I wonder what more we will learn when she is here.’

This is not far from truth. Jolie in an interview had said, ‘You’re young, you’re drunk, you’re in bed, you have knives; sh!+ happens.’ She was talking about her marriage to Johnny Lee Miller.

By the time Jolie was 26 she had already had two heady and intense marriages; not counting other relationships like the live-in when she was 16 and then much later a publicised lesbian affair with actress Jenny Shimizu.

When getting married to Johnny Miller, Jolie had worn black leather pants and a white shirt with Miller’s name scrawled across the back in her own blood.

But Jolie seems to have mellowed and matured beautifully. For the past four years she has become more active in charity work getting involved with the UN, and drawing attention to children and refugees.

This is a surprising but welcome change.

Says Sheetal Mohol, a student in Ferguson College: ‘I am surprised that she went from a relationship with a much older and stranger man like Billy Bob Thornton to a seemingly more normal guy like Brad Pitt. It will be nice to see if this change in her will last.’

This seems to be more like the present day Jolie that people of Pune know of. Along with her much-publicised affair with Brad Pitt (who left popular actress Jennifer Aniston for her), people here also know of the children she has adopted.

Sosa, an 11-year-old at St. Mary’s School, says, ‘All I know of Jolie is that she has adopted two kids and one of her own. One I think is Cambodian and the other is from Ethiopia.’

Whatever the aura and intrigue that Jolie has generated over the years, Pune is hoping to find out a lot more about her. Six weeks seems to be good enough for that.

Yup !!! I agree with you.
My 4 complaints of Jennifer Aniston:–
1) that Vanity Fair interview
2) the lieing to the public “a baby is on the way” when in fact we saw her keep smoking.
3) her lack of giving back to society or not doing enough.
4) the comments made by Donovan that she is materialistic.

#1550 Your comment is funny and my kid is asking why I’m laughing. Just to let you know, I’ve been lurking.

ROTFLMMFAO!

You know people, as much as I love Brad and Angelina, I really don’t think Jennifer is such monster ( I despise the away she did a pity party, I will admit that) but I do think she is a good girl, do you think Brad would had stayed with her for 7 years if she was such bad person?

In fact I am convinced that they separated because the love became a friendship, Brad said that love changes form and maybe he didn’t love her as a wife anymore, he loved her as a friend.

To be honest, the moment that I really started to wonder if the marriage was in trouble was when he was a guest in MTV’s Total Request Live, he was promoting TROY and the host asked true or false: you and Jennifer are planning having kids? And in the answer he actually dodges a little bit and then of course gives the yes that the audience is expecting (if he said no the world would had fall in his head)

I remember watching and thinking WTF ? There are maybe some problems in this marriage! Boy I was right!

If Jennifer really wanted to go see him and not fly, there are other options such as taking a transatlantic cruise.

a monster? no. there are worse people in the world than jennifer aniston. but you lost me with the “good girl.” i don’t consider shallow, self-centered people to be good. and that’s what aniston represents to me.

why did brad stay with her for 7 years? only he can answer that question. but i have noticed that since they parted company, he’s been a lot less shallow and self-centered himself.

Don’t forget chugging down multiple bottles of margaritas/tequillas, yoga–bootikai or however you spell it, screaming at the ocean waves- yes that can be exhausting lmao and the list of superficiality goes on and on. Such a life eh.

It is worth to see it again !

# 1561 stardust — X is busy with……well. she’s busy
with……….something…………………………………..

Brad stayed with the whatshername because she was and still is borderline;
i can easily figure her out saying: look! if you leave me i’m killing myself!!!!!!!!!!!!
waaaaahbouahbouahhhhhhhhhhh

So he had to wait the psy sessions before leaving one foot behind one foot ;

And it was not enough;

Untill, Angie said : look! stay with your life and your wife , i don’t need to be the other woman, let us be friends!!!!!

And then Brad was like : BOUABOUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

He had to leave prompto, he had to choose between him or the borderline;

He choose to save his life
Who can blame him?

Not me
