Brad Pitt - “V Magazine” Fall 2007
Brad Pitt takes the Fall 2007 cover of V Magazine, as photographed by the wonderful Mario Testino. Here are some highlights from the V magazine interview by Christopher Bollen:
I know you’re in Prague right now, but the Fourth of July was yesterday. Did you celebrate it? No, we missed it here. But when you have four kids, every day is the Fourth of July.
Has becoming a father transformed your life? Yeah. It’s hilarious. It’s the funniest, most lovely thing I’ve ever taken on. And the biggest pain in the ass as well [laughs] And I couldn’t go back. I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
Do you find it upsetting how the media still has an obsessive interest in linking Jen and Angelina? It’s so manufactured. We don’t pay attention to it. I hear that they drag my mo into it. She doesn’t deserve any of this. She is the most open, loving woman you’ll ever come across. They make things up and make money off of it. I am surprise about that.
There is a popular idea that you lured the paparazzi to Africa when Angelina gave birth to spotlight problems there. Was that really purposeful? It’s fourfold. For one, we know that’s going to happen so it becomes a plus. It’s all about cost and gain, plusses and minuses. Two, and most importantly, we loved the idea of our daughter being born on another continent, something she’ll be able to have roots in as well and want to explore as she gets older. That was the preeminent factor for us. Three, we knew that they had very strong privacy laws there. And we knew there was going to be a huge bounty on our heads and we were going to get very little peace unless we went to a place like that. And four, it happened to be a place that we loved.
The Fall 2007 issue of V Magazine featuring Brad Pitt is priced at $8.95/pop and hits newsstands on Friday, September 7th.

Yes, I got a nice burst of energy from reading Brad’s interview. It made me happy. I am a fan of him and his family so I was happy to hear the things he had to say.
Just like when Jen gets her various nose surgeries, sucks hardcore in another rom-com, third wheels it with her BFFs the Coxs, takes yet another walk on the beach, or dates some loser model you overdose on joy.
See when your fave celebs are happy you kinda feel happy too.
Mmmmmm, Maybe now I know why you are soooo grumpy. :)
;)
Well, Brad lies, we all know that after the Troy promotion. But I see Aniston using this quote to keep trashing him later and even more champagne toasts.
Haha! Doesn’t mean the public doesn’t love him still.

Personally I think Jen is a very lucky girl. She has no good looks, no distinguish acting abilities, but still she is so famous and rich and had BP and getting roles. Hey, what distinguish her from you and me?
me neither.I can`t believe he is in deepfrienship with him but I think the thing he said was very normal.he can`t say he hates this woman or I feel that I relieve from that marriage or those were dark years in my life.
he was just very nice to her with saying that he is still friend with her and want to show that although x did very bad things with him and his family but he forgives her for her actions.and I think this interview is the worst things that can happen to x .b/c she can`t play victim anymore .that as I said at first I will call this revenge in brad`s way.

Everyone thinks he’s using her to promote his lame movie, he’s such a dumb rock. Watch Steven Huvane release a statement later in the day, about how they have not spoken in over a year, his sorry is going to regret talking about her.
———————
She’s going to be on Oprah soon, and you know she’s going to pull the “deep friendship” card to say something, I hope she doesn’t go there and say that it’s not true because Brad, even when trying to be nice is going to end up looking bad.
LMAO! POOR BRAD

He had a big movie to promote, he’s already whored out his kids, so he had to come up with a fresh angle…and tada, discuss a divorce that everyone but the nutters on this site had forgotten about.
Pitt = mega douche
The interview was a class act. Shows he holds no ill feelings towards his X.
US Weakly have gone back to their old selves lashing out at Brad and angie again. I knew it was a matter of time before their true colors showed. Bravo ****.

I think she won`t be this much stupid b/c If she does this kind of work brad next time won`t be as nice as now and will open his mouth and destroy everything that he plenned to keep for himself.
but this is not bad at all that people didn`t believe brad about his deep friendship with ex. b/c that will avoid lies&stuff or outtatouch to spread anoyher lies about that bermouda triangle.it is a good point and I like this idea.hahahaha
Brad is a gentleman. He will only say something nice.
Jen insulted poor innocent kids and God is punishing her for that.
…. look at what happened to her SMART endorsement; look what happened to Owen Wilson.
BAD KARMA!
Jen’s VF article was vicious. I hope people don’t forget that.
Brad likes Star and L&S : 09/06/2007 at 8:36 am
He’s a tool, when he needed to say something he keep his mouth shut and now that everyone has move on (Expect from the bottom feeders rags) he speaks! brava brad! you really care about the 1.99 tabloids, good for you.
——————————————————-
He’s really a moron. He tried to be nice but end up looking like a pr *****.
Jen is going to laugh at this so hard and used it in her advantage.
who cares about US WEEKLY.it is another tab like other.but I don`t see anything wrong about people not believing him about being friend with X.
yes I also can`t believe that he is still friend with her.I think he just play very nice toward X.he also said nice things about his other EXES.and I know in his heart he doesn`t even think about them any more.but he play like he cares about them which is nice because with this he will show although he is angry with her because of her pity parties. but he won`t trash her in the way she did because he is a real gentelman.
I found a great vid on breakups.
I hope this helps the Jen fans out, its not a joke. Its a guy explaing breakups. He isn’t a doctor or anything but he is very informative. Maybe people should see this realize Brad ended his relationship the best way possible.

It gives great insight on bitter breakups as well.
I just do not get why an old sitcom hag is that famous. Anuston got nothing to offer. PERIOD

The angels cried that day!

so with the thing you said x looks like a media wh***.not brad.hahahaha
but don`t worry she should have some movie to do to make her possible to go to media.but she still can`t find her movie for this work.please instead of coming here go and find her movie to do.
If she does this I promise brad will come out and will say that he loved Norman more than her in their relationship.and she used him to gain some career for herself.
JY, She’s hardly vicious, you twit.
The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston- Vanity Fair September 2005
By Leslie Bennetts
…Other than the 24-hour security detail guarding her safety, Aniston is all alone in the modest rental where she has camped out while dealing with the end of her marriage to Brad Pitt - and its devastating aftermath, which has been far worse than the actual split. The last few months have brought an endless nightmare of hurtful headlines about her soon-to-be-ex-husband, along with the blatantly fraudulent stories about herself, in the tabloids and supermarket gossip magazines. Pursued around the clock by the rapid paparazzi she refers to as “ratzies”, she is ambushed even on her own deck by photographers who lurk on the beach outside her door, spying on her every move.
As she squeezes her eyes shut in an effort to stop crying, the scene provides a painful contrast with the last time we met. Little more than a year ago, I interviewed Pitt at the Beverly Hills mansion that he and Aniston had just spent two years renovating. A testament to both his passion for architecture and the couple’s hopeful vision of their shared future, the beautiful old house awaiting only a baby in a bassinet to complete a picture-perfect existence.
When I left, they both walked me out to my car. Their home, its windows lit and welcoming, glowed in the twilight. As we said our good-byes, Pitt and Aniston leaned together in the drive-way, arms twined around each other. Her head rested trustingly on his buff chest, still pumped up from his rigorous training to play the warrior Achilles in Troy.
They seemed the most fortunate couple imaginable - two beautiful superstars who had hit the jackpot, earning not only fame and riches but also an enduring love. Their fans had long been captivated by the romance of America’s Sweetheart and the Sexiest Man in the World, and now they were ready to begin a thrilling new chapter. Aniston’s 10-year run on Friends was ending, and she and Pitt had vowed to start a family when her stupendously successful television series was finished.
Pitt’s final words to me reinforced the impression of connubial bliss: “I’m happier than I’ve ever been.” But the ensuing months brought an onslaught of rumors that he had gotten involved with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Instead of the joyful announcement many had anticipated from the Pitts, there was only silence. The New Year began with photographs of the beautiful couple strolling hand in hand along the beach on Anguilla, looking relaxed and happy. Immediately the buzz shifted into rhapsodic re-appraisals of the state of their union.
And then came the oh-so-civilized announcement, on January 7, that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were separating - that their parting was “the result of much thoughtful consideration,” that it was not caused by “any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media,” and that they would remain “committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another.”
If Pitt had kept a low profile in the months to come, that might have even turned out to be true. Instead, the ominous drumroll of gossip began to crescendo as he and Jolie rendezvoused in exotic locales, still denying that they were an item. With the paparazzi snapping away, Pitt stepped into what looked suspiciously like a paternal role with Jolie’s adopted Cambodian son, Maddox.
“It was extremely hurtful to Jen that he was seen with another woman so quickly after they were separated,” says Andrea Bendewald, an actress who has been one of Aniston’s closest friends since they were teenagers.
Instead of being reviled as The Other Woman, Jolie posed for pictures on an energetic round of appearances as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations - and then trumped even that public-relations bonanza by adopting another orphan, an African girl whose parents had died of AIDS. In the blink of an eye, the twice-divorced Jolie - previously known as a tattooed vixen with a taste of bisexuality, heroin, brotherly incest, mental institutions, and wearing her husband’s blood - had morphed into a globe-trotting humanitarian who seemed to be channelling Audrey Hepburn.
For the 36-year-old Aniston, who had expected to spend the last year being pregnant, the pain of watching this spectacle unfold was compounded by vicious rumors about herself. As misogynist as they were false, sensationalistic stories claimed the real reason the marriage ended was that Aniston refused to have Pitt’s baby because she was so ambitious she cared only about her career.
Even now, that sexist slur makes her face darken. “A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children,” she says. “That really pissed me off. I’ve never in my life said I don’t want to have children. I did and I do and I will! The women who inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I’ve always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all.”
Aniston’s intimate note acidly that Pitt could have done more to refute the mean-spirited rumor that his wife wouldn’t bear his children, which reinforced the impression that he had good cause to leave her for Earth Mother Jolie. To some, this looks like sheer hypocrisy.
“When Brad and Jen were in the marriage, having a baby was not his priority - ever,” says one mutual friend. “It was an abstract desire for him, whereas for Jen it was much more immediate. So is there a part of Brad that’s diabolical? Did he think, I want to get out of this marriage, but I want to come out smelling like a rose, so I’m going to let Jen be cast as the ultra-feminist and I’m going to be cast as the poor husband who couldn’t get a baby and so had to move on?”
I’m curious, when did X insult Mad and Zee? What did she say?
Brad, Angelina, and the kids are blissfully living their lives together, while some of the completely brainless deperately want to believe otherwise. Ignoring what is reality and attempting to substitute fantasy does not make that fantasy reality. The Jolie-Pitts are out and about enjoying NYC together and with their kids. Brad is working, Angelina is enjoying being a mom.
Brad is now more open about his love for Angelina and for their kids than he ever was with the ex. He is exuberant, he is the happiest ever, he is aware of how lucky he is to have found all that truly completes his life with his great love and best friend Angelina. All the legitimate media has expressed their surprise at Brad giving interviews with such personal information. Angelina has changed him into a more open person just as he has changed her into a less open person, they have reached a happy compromise which all successful partners must do.
He was kind to the ex in his interviews. He has no hidden agenda where she is concerned, she is no part of his life whatsoever. His past is his past, he does not pretend it did not happen, but he firmly puts the past in the past. He describes his midlife crisis if it happened at all as happening in his 30’s before his 40th birthday, in other words during his marriage. He saw the light, he had to get out of that strait jacket of an insulated Hollywood life and begin to do something for others in need in this world. He had to find what completed and enriched him in life and he has done so.
Those still in denial are so pitiful, they clearly are fixated on what what an illusion, a fairy tale, and they lack the necessary cognitive skills to recognize the truth and reality. They continue to reside in the world they have wholly created in their minds. It is an exercise in futility to attempt to open their minds and let the truth in, their minds are atropied. They are the lost. Even the tabs are moving on to other celebs for maximum sales. The tabs are astute enough to know that Brad and Angelina are the real deal.
767 ANISTON THE HAG!
she is not famous among HW director and producer.she is media w**** and so she is famouse among tab and gossip.
at least brad interview has something for her that X won`t come out with another man and another lies.she can save her money this time.
Pitt’s final words to me reinforced the impression of connubial bliss: “I’m happier than I’ve ever been.”
