OlderAngelina Jolie - “Hello” Magazine Interview
The Canadian edition of Hello! magazine has a fantastic interview with Angelina Jolie about her children, her relationship with Brad – and those eating-disorder rumors.
How is your newest adopted son, Pax, adjusting to family life? He’s a great kid. When we first met him, we thought he was really shy and really quiet, but about two days at home, we discovered that he is the loudest member of the family! He is very athletic, very bold. Pax and Zee [Zahara] have really connected because they’re closer in age, and Madd and Pax – they’re brothers, so they have moments where they absolutely bond together against everybody else in the family. Then they have moments where they bug each other, but it’s quite normal. It’s nice. I’m really, really proud.
It’s rumored that you’re considering adopting a child from the Czech Republic. Is there any truth to this? No. We’re not considering any more adoptions at the moment. We’re trying to make sure that all of our kids are adjusted first and that they all have individual time. We will have more children, but not right now. We’re always
open to all countries, but there just isn’t any truth to the rumors. Just because [we] adopt and because we travel, people say Brad’s buying a house wherever he goes and I’m adopting a child wherever I go.
Do you and Brad have different parenting styles? We’re very similar and we support each other as parents, so there is no divide of “Daddy’s good with this but Mommy doesn’t like it,” or vice versa. Brad is just as affectionate and loving as I am, and I am just as playful.

Do you cook? No. Brad would tell you that I am one of the worst cooks in the world, but my first husband said that I pretended to cook badly so I never had to.
How did Brad help you through the loss of your mother? God, it’s funny to give all his secrets away. He’s a really great friend. He really cares. When my mom passed, he sat with me in the [hospital] room and held her hand and helped me go through all the stages that you have to deal with when someone passes, from her ashes to everything. He was just wonderful to my brother [James] as well. [After her funeral] we all went back home and then he just spent the night asking us questions about our mom.
He got us to tell funny stories about her and focus on all the love and all the joy. Brad is extraordinary.
How’s your relationship with his parents? When I first met Brad’s parents, I came in with two adopted children from other countries and that was new for them and their family. I didn’t know how they were going to be, but they’re wonderful, wonderful people. They’re equally loving to all of the children. We’ve left the children with them quite a few times, but I don’t know if we’ll leave them with Pax at the moment [smiling].
Would you say you wear your emotions on your sleeve more than you used to? I suppose, in some way. It’s funny, because I feel like I’m this really emotional person but people have often said to me, about myself or the roles I play, that I seem strong. I’m often surprised that people don’t see me or think of me as an emotional person. Maybe they do more now, but for a long time in my life, it was that I was just tough or something, and that I lacked emotion.
There’s been a lot of speculation about your recent weight loss. The funny thing is when somebody says, “you’re thin,” people say, “thank you.” But to me, it is not a compliment. It’s not something I want to be. I have always been lean, and this year I lost my mom, I have four kids, I finished breastfeeding and it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track and learn about my body after birth. The disturbing thing is that instead of somebody saying, “Oh, this looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something [emotional],” they say, “does she want to fit into skinny jeans?” When I [read] anything that says I’m too thin, I think “Good, good!” Let it be a criticism. I don’t want to encourage young girls to be too thin.
Where is the reckless Angelina of old, who dived into the hotel pool after winning her Golden Globe? [Laughing] I’m really the same person. I jumped in the pool because somebody dared me to. So it wasn’t anything punk. It was true happiness and fun. Hopefully, I do still have that [quality] and I’ll jump in many pools in the future.

Oh please they are haters just pretending to be Angelina fans.
ANGELINA SAID EVEN MORE DEEP STUFF WHILE SHE MARRIED TO BILLY. SHE CHANGES HER MIND.
STAY STRONG ANGIE
NewsFlash: The fans here love both Brad and Angie and all their children. Anyone saying anything contrary is not a fan, they are trying to derail the thread and it won’t work.
Brad has normal nice, clam fans, Angelina has crazy angry fans.
JEN: 2 INTERVIEWS POST DIVORCE
GQ
They’re really nasty out here. I mean, some of the things they’ve said during my and Jen’s split—things that are just deliberately said to get a rise out of her, just truly cruel—make me want to punch their lights out. And more toward Jen than me, which made me even more mad, because Jen’s an easier target. Grown men saying awful, despicable things. Things that a normal father or husband or brother would go and kill them for.”
It’s hard to imagine dismantling a marriage with any kind of grace amid all that, as tabloids sling facile theories and “truths”—for example, that Courteney Cox is superpissed at Brad, or that he wanted kids and Jen didn’t. “That was one version,” Pitt says, vigorously and absentmindedly rubbing the top of his head, “and total bullshit, by the way.”
W MAGAZINE
Pitt says he and Aniston are still close and will likely remain that way. “We’ve been able to keep the love that we have for each other in front [of everything else].”
A self-described “Zen master” at tuning out the intrusions of the tabloid press, Pitt allows his meditative calm to collapse when he talks about the paparazzi’s recent conduct, particularly their treatment of Aniston. “These guys have been incredibly despicable this round,” he says. “They should literally be hung up and flogged. You wouldn’t believe the s— they’ve been saying to Jen. She doesn’t have a nasty bone in her body, and they are yelling horrible things to get a rise out of her so they can get more money for their pictures.”

This makes so mad! why the **** he can’t say somthing like this about angelina?

And she’s with Brad, so boo for you huh?
I find something interesting going on…for all these supposed Angelina fans, they sure do know how to find Brad’s articles where he “defends” Jen. It’s like it’s at their finger tips or something. Could it be haters in disguise….I think so! Guys plz grow up!
Brad fans can have him, we don’t care about a man who can’t defend the woman who made him a father.
224 truth | 06/22/2007 at 1:25 pm
Angelina does not need anyone to defend her. She is a strong woman. Brad said it takes a strong woman to play Marriane and that’s Angie and being in the presence of these two womae is like being in the presence of Churchill and Rosevelt only that they are better looking. They know their truth. They are content.
***********************************
Right! And what’s to “defend”, anyway? She’s done nothing wrong.
Brad probably wakes up everyday thankful he’s no longer having to deal with a weak, neurotic spouse.
And when it gets right down to where the rubber meets the road, none of this is really any of the public’s business, anyway. All any of us (fans and haters) can do is speculate.
Brad and Angie are together, and as always, time will tell.
There use to be a group of intelligent posters
here at JJ…i guess these new idiots are a sign of the times so sad this use to be a fun
informative place with facts and harmony. now
it is a cess-pool of ignorance.
Another one bites the dust!

Brad tells Angelina she is YOUNG AT HEART HE FEELS SO ALIVE WHEN HE IS WITH HER..BUT ANGELINA WHEN I WAS WITH JENNIFER IT WAS AS IF SHE WAS SO OLD AT HEART HERES A FEW EXAMPLES ANGELINA:
- I told her to act her age and she died.
- she still owes Moses $3.
- her social security number is 8.
- she knew Burger King when he was still a prince.
- her birth certificate is in Roman numerals.
- she sat behind Jesus in 3rd grade.
- she owes Fred Flinstone a food stamp.
- when she reads the Bible she reminisces.
- the key on Ben Franklin’s kite was to her apartment.
- she farts mummy dust.
- when she was young, rainbows were in black and white.
- when she was in school, there was no history class.

I don’t understand what kind of man can stay silent while the mother of his kids is dragged through the mud for 2+ years for something HE did. I am not even a man (or a lesbian) but if I was in his situation you best believe I would have cleared her name long ago. If not for her the children. I dont understand how Angelina of all people could stay with a man that is so weak and then pimp him as a great man who she loves. I cant be a fan of a couple like this… because of Brad.
—–
Angelina has put herself on the line for that basta.rd . Her charity work is questioned and that has to be the worst. She deserves so much better imo. I really cant wait for them to breakup so Angelina can be on her own. I feel she will be better without the weakest man in the world known as Brad Pitt. He has dragged her down and left her DROWNING in media negativity while saving himself. How can Angelina and her friends not see this?
—–
I do dragonfly. I am obviously an Angie fan and I just hate all the negativity that has been left at Angie’s feet. Nobody ever questions brad charity work and he really didn’t get involved until 2004(according to vanity fair Africa issue) which just happens to be the year he met Angie. she had already been doing her thing for 3-4 years before that.

So true. all. of .it.
-=-==
Totally agree.
Angelina friends are tired with this situation too. They wish Brad will say something but right now their focus is t keep angie rolling and healthy.

JEN: 2 INTERVIEWS POST DIVORCE
~~~
Isn’t that funny now Feb/Mar 2005 is post divorce. Used to be these haters said Brad was still married when they decided to get pregnant.
Brad did those interviews early 2005. Before Jennifer go her friends to lie about him.
Zero kind words about Jennifer after the GQ magazine. If fact NO Words about Jennifer.
But many words about how intellegent,caring, a great mother and a person who has inspired him Angelina Jolie is. JUST WAIT HATERS. First the kissing then butt touching, then makeout in the back of the car. Brad will be doing more talking about this lovely lady. Just wait…..
Normally, I wouldn’t address the haters, but I do think they are in guise, passing themselves up as fans. Ah well. Threads are always insane.

************************
And did you see my answer to “wondering”? Or are you following the usual M.O. where now you start with the name-calling and insulting the kids?
As a fan of Angelina’s, I trust what she says.
” I think we both went on a lot of faith - we really did. Our family has rown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility togeher, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out to be for each other everything we’d hoped. We could have been very wrong, but every CHALLENGE WE HIT HAS BROUGHT US CLOSER. IT HAS BEEN THAT KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP.” Angelina Jolie MC 2007
Is how she feels!

Ok Brad is great. Brad is wonderful. He never
did anything wrong. We are not being fair to
Brad. He doesn’t need to change a thing.
We are just being too sensitive. He loves
Angie in his own way. He doesn’t need to
defend her. He doesn’t need to say word.
Actions speak louder than words.
I guess evrything is ok just the way it is.
Brad and Angie have a joint project out today, that’s how they are together in real life - joined at the hips Don’t cry for them haters, they are doing fine.
Brad ignores angie’s addiction because he wants to win the custody battle.
He gives 2 ***** about angelina.
