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.

Hold it. There’s an original comeback! Give it to this person for coming up with the most original insult ever! Yep, there you go. This must be quite a feat for a person who seems to be only reaching an IQ of 20. Good job. Good for you!
Fans please. Angie is not a WHINNY *****. She is a BADASS. She does not need Bbrad to defend her. She did not need him before they hooked up. She is not a jenny who type. she is a real woman. I think that this is one of the things Brad love about her. This is one of the reasons he is not with X,she was too needy. Brad does not defend himself,They know who they are. Angie would not like him defending her while making her look weak.
Hey guys happy friday….CAN WE CUT THE ***** AND THE INSULTS???????????
Angie is doing interviews because of her movie but sadly EVERY tabloid, interview, or anything ANGIE is always personal….I am sure she must get really upset about that….Going to see AMH tonite, anyone else going to support this GREAT MOVIE?
The guy who wrote about Angie being on heroin needs to be sued….She needs to get him for defamation……I bet MANISTON paid him to do it…Well no, I know thats not true, but damn why cant they leave her alone!!!!! I WANT HER PR GUY EMAIL I want to ask them why they dont sued the pants off this nut case????

mean but funny
361 bet
Unfortunately, if she sues, it might just give her even more bad press. And since it is a blind item, it would be difficult to prove that it was about her. Ted C can easily name another celebrity in Hollywood to save his rear.

What a great video! Thanks for posting the link. That’s the best vid of them I’ve seen yet. Thanks again.

I just want to scream to her to shut up. I hope her movie fails like Oceans 13 at the box office.
*********************************************
Honey, you must be stuck on stupid and danglin’ dumb.
Box office receipts for O13 after 2 weeks:$70,429,741
Yeah, I hope AMH “fails” like that! ROFLMAO!
Next time you come in here, do your damn homework first.
Without Brad, there would be no A Mighty Heart.
congrats Brad on the good reviews on your first film produced only by you and not 100 other people with you.
The Departed, now A Mighty Heart. Excellent.
If Angelina gets any type of award, she better thank Brad because without him she would not have been in this film.
———————————-
I second this!! I hope The Mighty Heart ends up being all that Brad envisioned it to be when he first hooked up with this project. I hope it sends the message of strength in a time of crisis. And uniting people from different cultures to save an innocent mans life.
I support Brad completely.
339 No way out!!!! | 06/22/2007 at 3:11 pm
======
Jen Maniston might be in drug but not Angelina Jolie, she just finish breast feeding, she just adopted Pax, She was off to Chad recently. She will not accomplish all of these thing if she is on drug !
Some people are beyond stupidity and define a new level of idiocy. I am not surprise that most are gullibale uninformed Americans.
Heroin ? My ass !
Heroin addict is easy to detect. Whitney Houston has been doing crack for years and see the results ! When you know that heroin is the worst drug of them all and kills within months.
My father, a doctor deal with them. They loose their hair, their teeth, they have bruises and multiple scars in their arms first (because of the needles injections) and their veins are craqued so you can see scars with dried blood. At some point, no healthy veins are available (because they have been fragilized and scared) in the arms, hence they use those on their feets with higher doses because it needs more substance to reach the brain.
Heroin kills softly brain cells and change the voice. Heroin addicts cannot work and have a normal schedule, they often stumble like drunkies and talk uneloquently. When they are high, meaning each day, they just lie for hours, days forgetting what they have been doing the few hours they have been decent, they don’t wash themselves, they stink, often vomit, and usually poo in their own pants at any occasion. They cannot have a public life and go to TV and restaurant without anyone noticing those type of behaviour. They scream when they don’t have their DAILY doses, hence make sure to stay in the some place where their provider can give them doses…Their skin cracks and looks greyish.
The only fact that Jolie is often traveling is the proof that she is not on drug…how can she provide her dose everywhere and never been caught during her crisis ? The fact that she goes working daily and is always on time, acting normally doing her job proove that she is not on drug, not even on alcoohol or medication. The fact that she is able to spend quality time with her children, to take them at school when not working proove that she is not on drug (ask Bobbi Brown who spent more time to her grand ma home when her parents were high because they couldn’t even recognise her let alone take care of her when lying in their own vmit). And lastly, the fact that Jolie has breastfed Shilo for nearly a year proove UNDOUBTEDLY that she is not on heroin, not even on the sligtest medication because if she was, Shilo would have been severly ill, retarded, a baby junkie..maybe in a coma right now. She would have been hospitalized many times for long periods and as soon as tested, she would have been taken away from both parents.
The simple fact that she still give away some money on projects contradict the fact that she is an heroin addict who put all their money on crack, hence have debts and manage to sink their financials rapidely.
Only retarded gullible undecated persons like this wanna be journalist and his illetrate worshippers are insane and stupid enough to believe that sh-it, while others, the overwhelming majority with minimum common sense would laugh at their unbelievable brainlessness.
TED C IS A LOOSER, HE KNEW THAT FROM THE MOMENT BRAD HOOCKUP WITH ANGIE, HE WILL NEVER HAVE A CHACE LOLLLLLL
My hat off to Sean Smith. He answered all the questions with a combination of honesty, sensitivity, humility and intelligence that is so rare. Must be great to read more of his work or even to meet him.
Thanks JJ. Keep up the good work. Do print everything you can get your hands on about this family. I love, love, love to read about this family.

GREAT POST !!!! you should post this on every blog!!!!

Preach it honey! Some people are so gullable.
Hoo-boy. Gotta give you Jenhags credit, you know how to put a whole new spin on things. It finally sunk into your pointy little heads that you will never get Brad to leave Angie, so now you think you can get Angie to leave Brad by posing as her fans. “Brad doesn’t deserve you!” “Dump the chump!” “Brad owes you an apology!” (Read: Brad owes us an apology [for leaving the chin].) Uh-huh. Rotsa ruck.
Poor Mama Pitt doesn’t know if she is coming or going with you clowns. She spends a week with Brad and Angie in NYC, so she’s running Brad’s life and he’s gay anyway. Then she’s at X’s house for less than an hour, at a visit X almost certainly set up (funny how those paps just happened to be lurking in the bushes at the right time, wasn’t it?) and you’re almost sh*tting yourselves with glee. “SAINT JANE LOVES JEN MORE THAN ANGIE! WHOOPEE! THAT MEANS BRAD IS GOING BACK TO JEN!” What that means is that Mama Pitt let herself get suckered. She doesn’t run Brad’s life. If she did, he’d still be with X. Mom just loves X to pieces; it didn’t stop him from dumping her fake ass for Angelina, now did it? Guess you forgot that part, but like they say, hope springs eternal.
And as if that wasn’t enough, now you’re hanging onto the words of some creepazoid who says Angie’s a drug addict. Well, of course it’s gotta be true! You read it on the Internet! Damn, if I had a nickel for every lie and piece of raw bullsh*t I’ve read on the Internet, I’d be richer than X by now.
(Which reminds me — what’s up with X anyway? A few weeks ago she was with Vince, and then it was the gigolo, and now I’m hearing rumors about Billy Crudup — did she join the Man-Of-The-Month Club or what? You can rag on Angelina all you want, but this broad is starting to make Angelina look like a nun. At least Angie hops into bed with the same guy night after night.)
Anyway, bottom line: Brad doesn’t owe anybody any explanations. If Angie wants explanations, she’ll ask for them herself. And if she isn’t asking for them, it means she doesn’t need them. Brad is committed to his family, and I don’t mean the Pitts — I mean the family he created with Angelina and the kids. And poor X is still a clinging, soul-destroying mess who can’t let go. Brad wiped that stale piece of chewing gum off the sole of his shoe two and a half years ago. And so, at long last, should you.
Someone said up thread…..”Ted C can easily
name another celebrity in Hollywood to save his rear” hahahahaha that’s the whole point,
Ted C’s rear, and his man crush for Brad.
Poor Ted such a jealous Queen!
thanks JJ!
I love Angie. I just love her.
i love angelina,people should leave her alone… she loves her kinds,…. nd brads great dad too…

Although this rumor is among the crueler ones leveled against Angelina, I do think that it would be unwise to respond to it, via a statement, anyway.
Yes, the threesome was pretty bad; the adopted versus the biological {shaking my head}; Shiloh isn’t Brad’s… disgustingly cruel, but they didn’t respond to it. The haters did and I hope that somewhere in the grand scheme, their relishing in these awful stories would bite them in the @$$.
BTW… great post, 368 Francophile | 06/22/2007 at 8:22 pm
What I want to know is, why is it about Angelina through this time? Shouldn’t it should be about Mariane Pearl? Maybe the light on Angelina is a negative one because the light shouldn’t be on her at all. Too bad isn’t it, the blabber people get stuck on when it should be on the character she is playing in the movie. Sad when that happens.
My friend and I went to see AMH. It a very very good movie. Angie does a remarkable job being MP. There is so much tension even when you know the out come. The scene where she hears the news about Danny and she starts to scream was very realistic to me. You don’t scream forever you stop and try to gather yourself. I could relate to that scene. I know that feeling, that despair. But I also know you can’t stay there. It doesn’t mean you are cold, it just means you can’t stay in that place, you have to get up. At least that is what it meant for me. I was impressed to see Holly’s name listed as assiatant and actress. It is wonderful when you are allowed to show another side of yourself. When the movie ended no one left. Everyone stayed until all of the credits had been displayed. It was that powerful. Peace :)
Love the Sean Smith Q & A. I felt he was honest with every question. He also let people know when he felt they were angry or petty. It is interesting that the majority of the angry or pettiness came from women. Martha Stewart, more women hated Martha then men. We are a sad lot when we can’t feel good for one another, woman, when someone accomplishes something that is beyond the pale of their imagination. They seem to want to hang on to the triangle. I felt he handled that really well. It is truly sad because none of it affected their lives, and yet they cling to something they know lttle about.
Go see the movie it is truly a good movie, and Angie is wonderful. Peace.
francophile, that was long but worth a read. one would have to wonder about those claims b/c i doubt angelina could even carry two kids if those were true.
Angelina is a great woman I am proud to be a fan of her’s.She has so much compassion for other’s and many many more great qualities.Doubt that she’s on any type of drug especially heroin “oh my God” pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeThat wasn’t nice of that man Ted something?(I don’t know his name)
