OlderAngelina Jolie - “Vanity Fair” July 2008
Angelina Jolie looks lip-smackingly good on the the July 2008 cover issue of Vanity Fair, out next week. Here’s a preview:
On being pregnant with twins: “I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”
On her international family: “When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
On daughter Shiloh’s birth: “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”
On nannies never sleeping over: “We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and back-grounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Bel-gium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
On artists as parents: “Artists raise their kids differently,” she said. “We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

this woman has really changed and has grown up. The way she takes care of her children is very admirable. Her and Brad are both so very blessed.
“Some people say Liz Taylor and I are whores, but we are SAINTS. We do not hide our loves hypocritically, and when in love, we are loyal and faithful to our men.” -Ava Gardner
She looks like a drag queen on that cover.
Why does it always feel like she’s boasting when she yammers on about having a hubby who makes her feel sexy when she’s preggers, and how, unlike most women, she feels more womanly when she’s knocked up?
Yes, yes, we know. We get it. You’re the perfect woman Angelina. You out-woman us all.
most beautiful woman ever.
I think someone called austinspace is a little jealous! Their whole post reaked of resentment and envy. Btw, Brad isn’t her hubby.
Also, MOST women feel more WOMANLY when pregnant. Obviously you’re a male, because otherwise how could you get it so fundamentally WRONG?!?!?? If being pregnant isn’t the epitomy of ‘womanly’ then what is it? The vast overwhelming majority of actual women feel more maternal and womanly when pregnant. Its what women are, and its the ultimate culmination of womanhood.
she looks like a sex bomb. oh my god.
