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.”

I hope that W thing is not true. Why would Brad do a magazine cover in Feb? He doesn’t have a movie coming out.

The W cover says it’s the A-LIST ISSUE. I’m sure a certain actress who has to work with canines didn’t make the cut… BBBWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Keep in mind that when you join, it will take you a couple days to actually have posting privileges. But they will come thru. You will get your screenname and account right off, but then when you first attempt to post - you will get a box asking you to write a message saying why you’d like to join (it’s a field, u won’t have to email)..
.
then in the next 24-48 hrs you will have posting priveleges. Always keep your screenname, username and password handy, so you don’t forget two days later what you will need to sign in with - but in some case you won’t have to, as your PC will remain logged in.

We can smell trolls a mile away. so forget it.

Cate Blanchet is on the over of Vanity Fair. Most likely the PR people for CCOBB wanted to go for a long and steady promotion through the Oscars.

I think the biggest reason Brad is on the cover is that CCOBB IS AN OSCAR CONTENDER. Brad has only done a handful of interviews to promote the movie and Oscar ballots are due back in another week or so and then the announcements are announced on Jan 22.

STFU. You’re forever blowing smoke out of your ass. If you were a Native American you’d be spelling out, “I’m a fcuking idiot” in smoke signals!
I just saw an article on E talking about Brad doing W magazine and defending maniston and her uncool comment, if it’s true I don’t think I like it. It makes me wonder his motive. Is he desperate for an Oscar, why would he defend her after all the attack at Angie.
Now the truth is out (though we already knew), that MAMS filming took almost a year. That Brad & Angie was shooting the movie even after Brad & X split up. Hence, there’s nothing wrong if Brad & Angie fell in love eventually during the latter part of the shooting.
.
Now that Brad clarified the timeline of the beginning of their relationship, I wonder what would be the reactions of the people who misjudge them especially Angie. To those who keep on calling her as “homewrecker”, I think you owe her an apology. From now on, don’t you ever call her that as she is never a cheater & homewrecker.
just a test post
I think what he said was very honest and real, and beautiful.God i hope he wins an Oscar for TCCOBB this year, it is well deserved!!!
