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.

Brad Pitt doesn’t even deverse the pinky toe of angelina’s foot.
I saw that to. He said having those kids were like living with a couple of drunks. David asked if it was true and not some made up tabloid story and he said it was true and still sees them as that. That show was a repeat though and was before his daughter got sick.
This interview is a cut and paste of ones she already did…
Can’t wait to see AMH. The critical acclaim thus far has been fairly positive so I’m glad to get a chance to see what everyone is raving about.
Huvane’s paid worker is working hard.
The paid worker is stirring up rumors to make people hate Brad.
The worker then changes names, writing a post to chime in her previous post.
I feel like Angie is being a martyr.
I am very very worried about her.
SORRY TO INTURRUPT THE FUN HERE BUT
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE UPOST THE CBS MORNING SHOW INTERVIEW? I MISSED IT. THANKS.
If angelina is doing drugs again is because she feels alone and with lack of support. Brad Pitt is just problems to her.

Brad uses his actions to prove his love for Angie. He divoced Jen and went to be with Angie. Followed her around the world wherever she wanted to go. Stayed by her side and took care of her and children when she was pregnant. Brought her out of her shell when she got emotional. helped her go through her mother’s death. supported her on her mission of saving the world. pick up and drop off the children to school everyday.
Damn it. these actions are 1000 times better than the damn words.

JENNIFER DIDN’T GIVE THE BABIES BRAD WAS DYING TO HAVE. JENNIFER DIDN’T FOLLOW HIM WHEREEVER HE WENT. BRAD WAS ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE OF JENNIFER WITH HER FAMILY PROBLEMS.
BUT STILL BRAD DEFENDED JENNIFER STRONGLY IN FRONT OF THE WORLD.
ANGELINA DOES AS BRAD LIKES BUT STILL NO DEFENCE…….
Brad is with Angelina. People who are writing the nonsense about Brad should be quiet. They decide what they want, you don’t. The first interview that Angelina did with Marianne, she said she does not do drugs. Take the blind item somewhere else. Angelina will do fine no matter what.

That they had a nasty fight after AMH premiere and broke up. That People has the exclusive next week on the details. That Brad and the children were not in Prague. Yeah you are batting a 1000 but in the negative hon.
193 BRAD DEFENDING JEN
——————
Yep and doing all the defending led them right to divorcing one another but before that a seperation that lasted almost the last year and half of their marriage and before that two years of consueling to help the already troubled relationship/marriage. Yep all very helpful. Hey…maybe you’ll know….what should Brad say that would stop all this “negative” press from the tabs? Prey tell!
she is so honest
love her
I can’t believe the **** I’m reading from “fans” of hers. She’s happy, she’s in love and wants to be where she is. I think we have all seen that if Angelina wasn’t happy she would leave in a heartbeat..children and all but it’s clear that after two and half years together, Angelina isn’t leave anytimes soon. But instead of cheering her on and being happy about her being happy, you guys choose to root for the day when Angie was cutting herself, using drugs and completely unhappy with her life. With Fans like these who needs haters?
_____________
I’m with you. I personally don’t think they are fans at all if they can’t see how happy Angie is now. No real fan would wish the breakup of her family.
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.”
SINCE HE’S WITH ANGELINA HE HAS DONE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS YET 0 DEFENSE
———————
He’s a ******* *******.
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.
I see that some Angie fans are beginning to turn on Brad. I didn’t really see that coming.
Brad pitt is a sorry excuse of a man. Angelina I’m with you.
Brad defended X when he thought they were going to be nice to each other during the divorce. Than she did Vanity Fair and he has not said another public word about her.
Brad was answering questions during an interview promoting MAMS. Now that the year of silence is over I’m certain when does his next major magazine interview he will speak of his Angelina, his kids and how his life has changed. He already doing it in the entertainment spots now. It’s just the world does care to hear him.
Tell you be honestly that Angelina more mostly so beautiful personally and so beautiful her heart and generous and happppppppppppppppy and laugh a lot.. wow.. i like that her way more brave and more positively and more love adopt more children .. Brad so beautiful personally, too! Wow! Both Match…… I am happy that Angelina more happy .. did not depression or sad or emotions nothing.. wow..

Wow!!!! If me in her shoe, i will be same things positively and happppppppppppy and beautiful man Smile……….. I never like Jennifer look like jennifer sicko, yuckly, i am so sorry i think Jennifer silly personally.. Thanks bye
Angelina draws weak pathetic women for fans who constantly think that women need men to defend them, and blame the Man for everything.
Fans are not the ones writing these nonsense. These are people who find ways to derail the thread. Perez is closing down.
“She is the most level headed,bright,decent people I’ve ever met and she is entirely devoted to her son Maddox” Brad Pitt talking about Angelina.
“SHE is dear to my heart you never know what she is going to say”Brad Pitt
#204: Oh, yes. Brad loved Jen more and he will always love her. His family loves her and will always love her. They hate Angelina, forever and ever.
He just can’t stay with Jennifer even though he loves her. So even if he’s still with Angelina and his kids when he’s old and gray, remember that he will always love Jennifer. He just can’t stay with her because he loves her so much. He just can’t leave Angelina because he hates her guts and is making sure she knows it.
There, are you happy now?
