Brad Pitt Shirtless in ‘Interview Magazine’

This is a very good interview,you can tell that he is in a different place and he has grown.You never know what happens in life but I think he is going to be with Angelina for a very very long time,it will have to take something more than the silly stories from the tabloid for him to live her.He says his life has always changed but that he always knew that it would take this form someday.I think that says it all really,everything he wanted he has got.I think even when he was married he came to realise that they wanted different things in life.

Its funny how intelligent he is and the way the tabs wants him to be this stupid person with stories like Brad wants out because Angelina is grieving for her mom.I dont see him going back to any previous relationships,he is a different person now.I like the way he tells us that he chose Angelina who was’nt in the script.Its amazing how in these two words ”yeah Angie”he tells you a lot.

Hi Jared
Just a question regarding the links that I have seen on top of some of your pages, to popular names -eg. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears.
Was it just my imagination or did I see a link to the name ‘Jennifer Anniston Pitt’ ????
Why would you have her listed as ‘Pitt’? Firstly, as far as I know, she never went by the monniker Anniston Pitt. Secondly, they’re long gone & divorced!
So why add Pitt to her name at this stage unless it’s to perpetuate the association & to keep the old triangle thing going or what? Incomprehensible to me!

The quote about angelina, he was talking about Kalifornia, how he liked what he did, but the writer didn’t and he kind of had other idea for the character. That’s why Mitchell asked him that, he’s saying that he made a choice that probably a lot of people didn’t expect him to make but for him it was good.

Brad is such a great dad’

Angelina Jolie plays a long-suffering wife trapped in a loveless marriage in new drama The Good Shepherd. She explains why she and Brad Pitt are more focused on adding to their family than getting married

It was the worst kept secret on the planet, but now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have come clean about their relationship, the once-elusive star is positively shouting it from the rooftops.

The besotted actress insists the affair didn’t start while they were shooting their movie Mr And Mrs Smith, and is adamant that Brad had already split from ex-wife Jennifer Aniston before they got together. But she admits there was a special bond from the moment they met.

“I got a good feeling about Brad straight away,” she says blushing. “But I never expected to become involved with him. I was happy as a single mother, but we stayed good friends after filming. I think we knew we felt something for each other.”

The pair are now inseparable and have sealed their love with the birth of their baby daughter, Shiloh, born last year. Brad has also become a hands-on dad to Angelina’s adopted children, Maddox, five, and two-year-old Zahara. She can’t contain her joy that they are now one big, happy family.

“Brad is a wonderful father,” she beams. “Raising kids is hard but it’s also a great joy and it’s just wonderful to have somebody to support you through. We definitely want more.”

It’s an enviable domestic set up. Not only are Brad and Angelina probably one of the most beautiful couples in film history, they’re also one of the most successful.

Brad, 43, is currently winning rave reviews for his latest movie Babel, while Angelina has notched up box office hits such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Alexander. She’s also bagged herself an Oscar for her 1999 movie Girl, Interrupted.

Yet despite her on-screen success, it’s clear there’s only one role the modest star really values - motherhood. The mere mention of her brood brings a sparkle to the famous feline eyes.

“Motherhood is everything and more I expected it to be,” she enthuses. “I love being a mum. We definitely want more kids. Brad always wanted a big family too, and adopting more children is part of our plan.”

The actress says being a mum not only dictates how much she works these days, but also her movie choices.

That’s why she agreed to take on her latest film role - a seemingly dramatic departure from the usual feisty, independent heroines we are used to seeing her play. In The Good Shepherd, directed by Robert De Niro, she plays Clover, the subservient wife of one of the first CIA agents (Matt Damon), who can only stand back and watch as his work destroys their family.

However, the star says it was Clover’s love for her son that convinced her she’d be able to take on such a challenging role.

“It was her commitment to him and the fear that he would end up involved in CIA work, too - this dangerous world - which was the one thing that kept me grounded to her character. There was so much about her that I didn’t identify with, but I could really identify with her protective feelings as a mum,” explains the 31-year old star, who recently lost her own mum to cancer.

Angelina also says she relished the chance to play a rejected and unloved wife - something the stunning beauty has probably never experienced in reality.

“I like the fact there were many things about her that were broken. I don’t normally get to play that part,” she smiles. “She is very vulnerable and broken. She is affected by all the negative things about the world.”

You couldn’t say the same for blissfully loved-up Angelina, but the star insists she’s in no hurry to walk down the aisle again.

“It’s not something we feel the need to do and we’ve never really discussed it too much because we don’t think there’s anything missing,” says the actress, who has been married twice before, to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

And despite having it all - fame, beauty, wealth and success - this is clearly one star who seems to be genuinely uncomfortable with celebrity status, making a concerted effort to avoid it at all costs.

“I make a point of not letting it change the way I live my life,” she says of her fame. “I plan things so that I’ve got quality of life that’s private and nice for the kids. We just don’t let it affect us.”

The star also puts her money where her mouth is. She’s famed as much for her charitable work around the globe as for her screen success, and says that’s where her true motivation lies.

“I will continue to work with refugees and will never shift my focus from them because that’s where my heart lies,” she says simply.

“We’ve just come back from Cambodia. We’re supporting a huge area of protected forest for many, many villagers. It’s a huge project but I’m learning so much.

“Brad has also been working in New Orleans with the victims of Hurricane Katrina and we want to do something in Ethiopia, Zahara’s birthplace - maybe support an orphanage there. We hear about something that’s going on and we just want to get involved.”

Not that the talented star is about to give up her acting career for good. She’s currently working on a big screen adaptation of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged and is rumoured to be lined up to star in Sin City 2.

But for now the contented star has plenty on her plate, what with saving the world, being a devoted mum of three and one half of Hollywood’s most golden couple.

“I’m in a very peaceful place in my life right now,” she says with a euphoric smile. “I do wake up in the morning and realise I have a very fortunate life.”

blah blah blah bla… move on.

Brad is such a smart guy! In this show business, he certainly knows the matter of game, he is the one of the masters.

He knows that everybody has been waiting him saying something about Angie and their relationship. He just summarised it perfectly:

Interviewer: Has it happened before that you were told you made choices that weren’t written into the part?

“YEAH, ANGIE”.

This is a very short answer is holding every single answer of all the questions he has been asked but not answered until now.

Angie is the one in this relationship who talks about it (much more than Brad). These are two different, strong people and they have two different way to deal with the things of their lives.

There is no need to compare them to each other and compare them to the others.

In a relationship, nobody promises you a rose garden. Head-over-heal love and lust MIGHT get less by the time, there will be arguments, discussion but if you are committed parents to your children, as a partner, you will forever love, respect and cherish your other half. Because for some people, the children are the reason of their lives. Having kids are the dream of their lives. And your partner is the one who made your dream come true and share it with you as you are to him/her.

P.S. Because my poor English, I was not able to express how I feel and thought clearly, pardon from now to all.

Thanks for the article and pictures. BP is looking mighty fine. I enjoyed reading the interview and how AJ was an unexpected but wonderful surprise in BP’s life. BP and AJ are fully committed to each other and their children. He has found the family that he has longed for and has embraced it fully. There is no looking backward for this man. He accepts it all, the challenges, the struggles and excitement of raising 3 children with more to come. Critics always try to put BP in a box, more so since his divorce from the American Sweetheart. However, he has constantly proven them wrong and will continue to do so. All critics have left is to bring up silly rumors, try to defame their character and plant false stories on blogs and tabs. BP and AJ constantly rise above it and continue to live their lives. Best wishes to BAMZS.

in my opinion its posts like 162

Cliniqua who ruin a thread.

Say It Already,

Great and honest post!

What i noticed about Brad that he promotes other people when it suits his own image, helps him to justify his own position, when money can be made , etc … but not for the sake of the person itself.

or he is just holding back the story (knowing that everyone is waiting for it) like he did with Shiloh , just to keep interest alive and then sell it to the highest bidder.

Before anyone start to attacking me i want to make it clear that i am just Angelina’s fan, always been. Never cared about this Creep before her and after her.
