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.

BRANGELINA FOREVER!!!!!
12 oh boy!!! | 06/22/2007 at 11:14 am
for those who are fans, we like to hear about her. if you are sick of her, don’t look or read anything about her. that’s how you escape. get it. also, people who write gossips are not sick of her because Angie helps them sale more magazines. so, i suggest you stay away from all the entertainment gossips magazine that have Angie/Brad in.
Thank you Neela for your post. I think it really adressed alot of fans and haters questions. I’ve copied my 2 fav parts below:
As for your question about whether she would get this much attention if she weren’t beautiful, I think you’re absolutely right that she wouldn’t. Look at all the attention you’ve paid her, and you don’t even like her.
As for the most beautiful man being with the most beautiful woman, that doesn’t seem contrived to me. That seems logical. Being with Billy Bob Thornton seemed stranger to me

Thanks for posting the interview with Sean Smith, I hadn’t seen that. Actually he answers a lot of the questions the trolls bring up all the time–guess they can’t read, just want to spew their hate.

Yeah, I thought it was an interesting read, too. I thought it was strange and funny that even Sean was criticized, but I thought he held his own. His responses were impressive.
This just means One thing, she is going to get pregnant soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for that.
More confirmation to where most Americans’ heads are at. Anything that woman does, people take it way too personally.
She has those long legs… on purpose.
She’s got the attention of the world… on purpose.
She’s surrounded by the love and respect of her family, friends, and collegues…on purpose.
People pick up the whiff of those who are merely coasting through life… that scent ain’t coming off of Angelina, that’s for sure.
Nice one JJ
BRANGELINA ROCKS!!!!!!!!
beautiful
I am going to see AMH in a couple of hours from now.
Thanks for posting the excerpts, Jared. Hello must have gotten these quotes from another magazine or from a press interview attended by many.
After her comments, I am thinking they will have a bio child next. Though that may be another year away. It does seem like Pax is getting settled into the family quickly .
A MIGHTY HEART
LOVELY!!!!!!
Thank you Jared!
going to watch a mighty heart
i’m off enjoy the movie Melissa
SWEET!!!!!
I’m to going leave now to see AMH.
re: #21 suspicious package - crushing blind item. It does seem like that your guess would be dead on. Kind of sad when one thinks about it.
21 suspicious package | 06/22/2007 at 11:21 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Assuming that this is really ’suspicious package’, we have been here before. This cr*p came up around the time of the GGs. I said it before and I’ll say it again… it’s probably Pam Anderson. She’s works for PETA; her career was built on her looks and yet, lately, there have been rumblings. For example, that shot of her on the beach with her kids. The press went to town on her about her face, as if wearing layers of pancake make-up and false eyelashes is required on a beach. :roll: And remember how the press booed her when she was at Cannes for not staying long to take pictures? As I recall, she was wearing heels, really tiny white shorts and a black long-sleeved top. And there was that ugliness about her wearing Ugs, which contained animal skins in them. And didn’t she get a gig at a Vegas show and for DirectTV(?)?
As for the hunky boyfriend part… I don’t know. I know that she’s been seen with Tommy Lee and I doubt that she was on her own when she was partying at Cannes.
The haters can think whatever they want, but the fact is that I doubt that Brad would leave any of the children in her care if she was using. And it’s doubtful that he would allow her to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia with the kids if he wasn’t there. And you would think that if he had little faith in her ability to keep it together, he would have intervened when she appeared at the Cannes press conference, on TDS, Larry King, Charlie Rose, msn, etc.
Whereas, with Pam… we don’t see her out much, except in a party context or on a beach.
Eveyone is leaving to go see AMH…..so in two hrs we will here how g8 it is.
I love Brangie!
I think that blind item was pulled out of Ted C.’s rear. I think it’s just personal on his part. I know not a lot of people are impressed with Lainey, but I’d take her word over his any day, and as Lainey said many times, we will only know anything about the JP’s if they let it out themselves, otherwise, most everything else is heresay and/or fabricated.
