The “work” he got done is the same work that all guests get “done” when on Oprah show. it’s a specialty of Oprah’s studio lighting. Look what it does for Oprah. Why aren’t you screaming about the work Oprah gets done everyday for her show cuz at home she sure looks hella different.
===================
Very true. I saw Oprah on tv once filmed outside the studio in full daylight, She looked sooooooo old, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then the next day I saw her on her show, and it’s a totally different person. The studios have special cameras for the show hosts and the anchorpeople. I saw the late Peter Jennings once at a college event and he looked ten times older in real life than on tv.
Damn, I could plant corn in those forehead furrows!!
Look at the size of those pock marks on his face! It’s a wonder he doesn’t lose one of the kids in there! lololololololol
this couple is clearly outside of mainstream Hollywood. what vain actor would want his lines to show? Not Brad! Angie too. What actress who’s full of herself would want pictures of her doing a fishface like she did in last months issue? Loves it…….

No I’m using the Oprah taping as a time reference. Not as a sole example. It was obvious in the photos and other appearances of him at the time and since after/
btw brad doesnt like any of you … lol
Brad is aging gracefully, true to himself. Angie loves the man.
Guess what…
ON Monday, Benjamin Button is less than 500, 000 below Marley Me. It beat Bedtime Stories and surely getting to the No.1 spot by this weekend
========================
bwhahahahahahaha
you think after being out for 3 weeks BenButt is going to pull up to 1st place? lolololololololol
You Loon said it would be first place after Christmas weekend…didn’t happen did it?
I’ll be back this weekend to laugh at you again. lmao
CRIKEY! He looks like a dried up 80-year old ****!
God Bless the Jolie-Pitts

Happy Three Kings senior & to all who celebrate the 3 Kings. Hello alexanderina.
Briseis, it’s been a while, glad you are back.
andromeda, I will gladly send you a copy of W magazine, you don’t need to pay me back, just happy to help a fan of Brad & Angie.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
Stop lying Loon.
BensButt was still languishing in 3rd place for the second weekend in a row.
These pictures of Brad and recent ones of Angelina are made to throw everyone off for when they actually appear in person anywhere…..They always look a million times better in the flesh so people have no choice but to always gush at how gorgeous they look.
Okay if I can’t say t.u.r.d. can I say poo?
I dont know about aging gracefully but he aint half bad. It’s funny how they can photoshop him to death then when a cover like this shows up we’re like welll….he’s kinda cute. LOL
I love these pictures. How many actors in HW around Brad’s age or older would let themselves be photograph like these, close up, no airbrushing etc and just being themselves, I bet not a lot, cause some of them are to shallow but Brad is not. He is being himself and he is growing old gracefully and not trying to hide it like some people. Brad you are the man. Love this cover
The photographer: Chuck Close
Excerpt from an interview by Lyle Rexer in the book:
Rexer: “And daguerreotypes are unforgiving. In the nineteenth century there were reams written about the fact that if you decided to have a daguerreotype made, you took your self-image in your hands, because nothing would be left out.”
Close: “It was more warts-and-all than any other process. Because it’s so red-sensitive, any marks, any flaws are heightened. You have to be pretty comfortable in your skin, and vanity goes out the window. And it’s also physically painful. A normal daguerreotype is a more than two-minute exposure. We’ve made it instant photography by having a billion foot-candles of light go off all at once, and that’s very painful. The flashes are so intense your eyes slam shut. It’s like having an ice pick shoved in your eyeball. You can smell hair burning… Each one of these people who lent me their image with no control over how it’s going to come out, in this act of incredible generosity, had to put away whatever self-image they had of how they looked and accept this other image as being them. That goes beyond generosity.”

Jen got the BEST PLASTIC SURGEON !!!!
Since a naked pic was used to promote the dog movie,
A pooorn tape will be releasing soon to promote the next movie.
I actually don’t think , he is going to say anything against X like she did toward Angie.
His comment is probably toward media and this whole situation. The interview is taking placed because TCCOBB is one of Oscar’s runner , So the focus will be on the movie. And for this reason , I can’t see him being harshed on X. He wants oscar nods for his movie , Bashing her or putting her on her place won’t help. I just hope he will talk alittle about Angie and kids.
And Lastly , i think these pictures are beautiful , and they have been using the same things He used for Angie’s cover and pics on W. The same negetive and the same film.

Thank you.
he looks really old for being in his forties, “that Brad of the past” belongs to past, but doesn’t matters, he has already a beautiful and intelligent woman and lovely children,money, etc.
Brad is aging beautifully. He is sexier than ever.
hi senior! Got a new laptop and better internet connection so hopefully will be able to post more when time allows.
I love what Brad is doing in these pics. LOVE IT. He is exuding confidence and experience and also showing he is “bien dans son peau” - very comfortable in his skin.
Let’s face it - the man has had both men and women gasping and swooning at his physical beauty - still does. I’ve noticed (not just in these pics) in his magazine coveres that he’s just comfortable letting it all just be. No artifice.
I agree with a poster above who suggested that he may even want his so-called “flaws” to be emphasized and highlighted.
In the type of business he’s in, you have to have two things to do this:
1. Confidence - talk about A list, both he and Angelina are triple A list for life, based on their accomplishments and charisma. He’s a secure man who is comfortable with what he has achieved. He may even have doubted his talent and good fortune in the past as a pretty boy, but these days he knows he has proven his talent and self worth with all that he has given back of his time and money.
2. Happiness - family life has brought it in spades. Whenever I volunteer for lunch duty at my 8 yr old’s school I go back to work with a smile on my face. Children are just straight up honest, make you laugh, make you see what matters. Brad’s children could care less if he’s twice voted sexiest man alive. And last but not least, the love of a good, loyal and loving woman can do wonders for any man wise enough to appreciate it!
Thank you Jared. You answered my prayers.
As always Brad is delicious for his age.
MAN,HE LOOKS ROUGHT AND OLD!!

He is flinging a shot at HW and his X types. Here’s real, he says. I’m not playing that game any longer. The deeper and more self-actualized he becomes, the less HW he will be. Having actually moved out of LA for all intense and purposes except for maintaining a base, he is shedding the plastic like a second skin. His X is age obsessed……..it’s another little message to her and the rest of Hollowwood.

Okay…there’s no reason to get silly here. Brad IS “Photoshopped” in the picture. All you have to do is look at his eyes to see that. He’s got a series of horizontal lines under his eyes and has had them for a good 8 years. Where are they? Where are his crows feet? They’ve also lessened the furrowing of his brow, given him an insta-eyelift and cleaned up his jawline.

BFD. There’s no such thing as an “unPhotoshopped” magazine cover. it’s just a matter of the degree to which it’s been altered. And let’s face it - some people with long chins, big noses, leathery skin with huge pores and low hairlines need more Photoshopping than others.
