OlderBrad Pitt: Being With Angelina Jolie is a Natural Direction
Brad Pitt reveals just how much portraying the backwards-aging title character in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has colored his perspective on his varied life. Sitting down with the L.A. Times, Brad shares new insights:
On age versus youth: “Once you hit 40, you start reexamining the math of it all… I’ll trade wisdom for youth any day.”
On finding real love: “It’s a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that’s the risk you take. And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I’m with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary.”
On how being with Angelina Jolie changed his life: “I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably got away with more than I should. And it kind of ran its course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end. [Fatherhood is] the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction.”
On his work as an actor: “I don’t have to grope as much for the character… I can get there quicker, so it’s not as much trial and error. Also, as I get older, more experiences, I’m more fine-tuned in what I’m after, what I think speaks in the piece. And lastly I want to hurry and get home to my kids.”

Cook, don’t throw pity parties. And as for you being objective. Well, if you really are, you would need to see the movie before you bad mouth it. You bashed it from the moment it was announced.

Hello everyone. so quiet on the Jolie-Pitt’s family. I am still guessing where they spent their Christmas holiday. They will be out in public eye sooner or later. For now, let them enjoy their vacation away from the papz.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

All my friends said they love the movie Benjamin Button.
They all said Brad did an excellent job of portraying the character, from different ages. His acting as an old man, walking, talking, etc is very convincing.
They all recommend this movie.
I’ll wait for next weekend to see it.

Love what my dear BRAD said about ANGIE and KIDS. HE’s more open to speak about his beautiful family.
I admire you so much PAPAPITT.
GOD BLESS JOLIE-PITT AND KIDS.
You know what? I saw an auction about a promotional watch for Benjamin Button & the watch goes backwards. See for yourself…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I still contend that Daisy was very hurt that Benjamin fell in love with Elizabeth. Her expression alone after she read his postcard conveyed that. And when they met again at the rest home, when she brought up his love affair, there was a definite flicker of jealousy and anger in her eyes. And when they went to dinner, they even had cavier and vodka just like Benjamin and Elizabeth did, and I somehow doubt that Benjamin was the one who ordered it. That woman was trying so hard to out-Elizabeth Elizabeth that she screwed up a perfect opportunity to connect with Benjamin. Daisy even conceded that point on her deathbed, stating that young girls are clueless about love. She also finally accepted Elizabeth as an integral part of Benjamin’s life.

BTW… I so agree that Brad’s swagger should be bottled. And just a whiff of it merits a pilgrimage or quest to get to it. Dayum!!! :twisted:

And I felt a little pervy when he was pulled his suspenders onto his shoulders when he was on the Chelsea. He was still old but sweet Jeebus!!!

Tom and Will are no more kings of box office. Hope they learned their lessons.

Not so fast. Big Gay Willie will be fine. He’ll do Independece Day 14 or I, Robot Redux, Hitch II or Bad Boys 8 and have another hit. What may be over is the days of him being able to draw in audiences for dramas.

Was it just me or Tilda looked so much like Cate in afew scenes? I scared alittle bit.

Did you hear what Fincher said on Charlie Rose? That Cate and Tilda look alike and that Benjamin has “a type”. LOL. And he said it was Brad who suggested Tilda. I’d like to know who it was that Fincher wanted when Brad told him they could get a better actress than the one Fincher was going to hire.

4Q you are not alone in that feeling. In afew scenes , She annoyed me so much. I think she didn’t deserve that beauty.

That’s exactly why she annoyed me; BB was way too good for her. She didn’t deserve him.

Like Rhett and Scarlett in GWTW….only Rhett didn’t leave for noble reasons. He left because she was a big conniving btich! Kinda like a certain ex that I could name…
