OlderBrad Pitt Denies Angelina Jolie Affair
Brad Pitt proudly proclaims that his partner Angelina Jolie is NOT a homewrecker. Here’s what the 45-year-old Curious Case of Benjamin Button star had to say in W Magazine’s February A-list issue::
On the public’s misinterpretation of his and Angie’s “affair”:“What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year. We were still filming after Jen [Aniston] and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that’s all.”
On Aniston’s recent comment that it was “uncool” for Angie to openly state that she and Brad fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created.”
On his current relationship with Jennifer Aniston: “We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don’t see how there cannot be [that]. That’s life, man. That’s life.”
On photographing Angie for W magazine’s November 2008 photo spread: “We have fun working together; these things bring you closer. And let me tell you, it’s really sexy to see your loved one through the lens. I went much further [than the cover shot of Jolie breast-feeding]. I didn’t show those.”
On what motivated his request for photographer Chuck Close, who uses a technique called Daguerrotype that captures every fine line and flaw: “[to not have to be] the guy coming out of the ocean water with his T-shirt wet, even though I’ve done that, too, but have always walked away feeling a little crap about it.”
On how family life has changed him: “I quit smoking. That was the only thing that got me to quit. That was it. Done.”
On gay marriage rights: “People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying. What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.”

This once again proves Brad is a stand up Gentleman. He is trying to defuse this triangle because he does not need it. but Jennifer on the other hand is pushing it up by faking like Brad Cheated on her. Jen knows what Brad said is true. Jen jumps and call Angelina “uncool” makes Jen look crazy.
Brad and Jen relationship was over before he started up with Angelina.
Jen needs to stop faking for attention.
No way has Brad thrown her to the dogs like Jen try to throw Angelina.
Brad is still trying to help her, even though she does not deserve it for lying about his wife.
John sure through Jen to the dogs soon as he was able to by telling the media he dumped her and Jen still kiss his azz.
Jen needs to leave Angelina alone and stop faking hurt over some thing that didn’t happen.
Brad is being sincere but Jen is being evil and conniving. Jen is going to come out on the short end eventually.
This proves Jen to be sick and demented.
Thank you W for posting the whole interview. It puts evrything in context, and the “Jen is a sweetheart” is just a small blurb out of a several page interview. I think he speaks out now because this will be his last interview for a long time. I don’t think he is going to promote his next movies with the same intensity he is doing with this one. So, he wanted to say his piece. Whether you believe him or not, he has the right to plead his case. Everybody is innocent until proven guilty. It goes for Brad Pitt too.
.
I think as much as he wants the triangle to end, it won’t. The tabloids and JA’s camp like to keep it alive because they are the ones benefitting from it. I am just curious to know what her camp’s next move is. I don’t think she is going to do many interviews for the Feb movie, because it’s an ensemble cast. She’ll probably save her salvo for when her own movie comes out to benefit from the pity parties.
Thanks alot Reality Check for your comments which reminded all of us what was sad by Brad in last 4 years.
Ashley Banks, I have not read your previous comments because I have not been here for a long time. It seems like you don’t like Brad for some reason. Have a respect for a man who Angie loves, admires and respects and or whom she has changed her life and the father of her kids.
I love the interview. We have been saying the movie was still filming after the split. Enough with the triangle!
a total fan @ 01/07/2009 at 11:39 am Great !! He finally told the world that Jen knew about his love for Angie. And that he and Angie started seeing each other after the LEGAL seperation. So in a since he has told Jen, no more “uncool” comments from you. And no more Vanity Fair comments suggesting she didn’t know of his attraction to Jolie.
He could have attacked Jen for fueling the fires to the Team A and Team J but instead he was a gentleman and called her a “sweetheart”. So how can Jen now attack a his love, he has been nothing but kind to her.
And he stated they still check in on each other. Please don’t blow it out of perportion saying he still loves Jen. IMHO I think it just says his reps sends a messege every now and then, maybe wishing her a Happy Birthday or congrats on a good film.
I don’t see how Jen will ever be able to play the pity party, I didn’t know what was going on victim again.
I think Brad has finally put an end to all of this. Thus leaving his family to live their lives in peace.
GREAT JOB BRAD !!!!!!!!
——————————————
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So true!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brad is trying to put an end to this triangle that Jen keeps going. He is a total gentleman. I have so much more respect for him than every before. It took a lot for Brad to be the bigger man. He loves Angelina dearly and wants Jen and the media to stop picking on her. I wish Jen would stop it. Some how I don’t think she will. I see it more clearly that she has no morals. I think her pr team told her to play the pity party and she did when their was nothing to pity. Is it that Jen’s whole life is motivated by PR stunts. Their is nothing more to her.
Last word from Brad is leave Angelina alone she did nothing wrong.
The best way to punish your enemy is to treat them nicely.
I can’t understand how people can read and lack so much understanding. Brad is saying Yes, they fell in love during the shooting of the movie, but they did not have an affair. Well, only an affair of the heart, which you really can’t help. The physical relationship came after he split from Jennifer. It’s what he has said from the beginning, It’s what Angelina has said and Courtney Cox. Even Jen said, “I choose to believe my husband (that they only got together after)the split). Courtney Cox said Brad told Jennifer from the beginning that he was attracted to Angelina. And he told her when he could no longer honestly stay in the marriage. give it up people, there is nothing new here.
Please of course he will say that .DAMAGE CONTROL. I don’t like Angelina but at least she is true full about what happened She said they fell in love on set when Brad was married NO TIME LINE because she is a nasty ***** and wanted to hurt Jen i think Angelina is jealous of Jennifer because she was married to Brad and she is not JENNIFER REMAINS TH ONLY MRS.PITT that must hurt after 6 kids THINK ABOUT IT HE WON’T MARRY HER AND WANTS JENNIFER TO REMAIN HIS ONLY WIFE EVEN THOUGH THE **** GAVE HIM 6 KIDS
I am a staunch supporter of Brad Pitt, and will continue to be so long after he retires from acting.. He was the most handsome guy in all of Hollywood in his heyday, and genuinely seems like a thoughtful and caring human being. I think he is a doting father and a loving partner, however, he is NOT infalliable. He has regrets, makes mistakes and would probably do things all over again in some instances if given the chance. Angie is pultrichtidinous, and is very involved in humantarian endeavors. However, she has a checkered past and has since moved past that. To put either one of them on a pedestal as some paragon of virtue is ridiculous. Both have failings, yet continue to do the best they can each and every day. Jen has quirks I’m sure, and played an integral part in the dissolution of the marriage as well, yet seems to be the perpetual “victim.” If you want to be fans of any or all of these individuals, then do so, but remember, they are not perfect and will continue to make blunders, just like the rest of us. The standard created in the media for how these individuals need to conduct their lives is unfair and unrealistic. Apppreciate them as entertainers, but remember they have foibles just like the rest of us.
Med, I can’t have respect for a man who thinks it’s respectful to let the mother of his children get dragged through the mud for the last 4 years without stepping up and defending her. I can’t respect a man who lies and tries to rewrite history. I can’t respect a man who is so hard up for an oscar he’s willing to defend someone who thinks it’s funny when she looks at a cartoon version of herself about ready to shoot Angie jolie… the mother of his six kids. I have no respect for a man who thinks a respectable breakup is chasing a single mother around the world and the whole time letting her take the brunt of the negativity.
;;;
I have no respect for men like brad pitt. superficial, cocky, self absorbed. A man who will save himself and leave his family behind in an earthquake.
::
he needs a reality check all right. A reality check with Angie sayin sayanara , homeboy. Oh how I would love for her to dump him and wipe that smug expression off of his cheesy oscar baiting face.
That is why the home wrecker offered details about how they fell in love she wanted to hurt Jennifer
you people are obsessed- it’s been 4 years…who cares who said what in relation to the divorce and how everything took place…it doesn’t really matter anymore…Jennifer has moved on, Brad and Angelina have 6 children and have definitely moved on…the only people still obsessing and analyzing every small detail are all the fanatics on JJ and the media who is using this washed up story to sell mags to gullible people…seriously, who has the time to research and dig up every single statement either person has made about the divorce and then post a comment that looks more like a court deposition? Please, get a life already!
I love Angie, I love Brad, I despise Aniston, but sometimes I got the feeling that the 3 of them are cooperating in keeping this triangle alive.
And I mean literally.
Their respective moves looks so premeditated sometimes.
Like…some kind of communication between the 3 of them.
That would be SO FUNNY :)
I feel like Brad just kick the admonition from under Jen and her pr team. Now their phony poster must take to the boards to stop the triangle from ending. Brad did not cheat on Jen bottom line Jen look like a crazy loser. Jen needs to grow the f#ck up and take responsibility for her fake actions. She really need to leave Angie alone now that the gigs up.
Alekziel, brad and his ex wife pretty much share an agent.

Ms. Jolie, my mom and me
Bonnie Rochman - Staff Writer
For the past six years, New Year’s Eve has been particularly poignant, for it’s the night I officially joined the motherhood brotherhood.
My husband and I brought our first child home from the hospital on New Year’s Eve 2002.
Since then, New Year’s Eve has become even more of a time to take stock of where I am in my life. New Year’s resolutions are common, of course, but for the past six years, mine have ventured beyond pledges like “go to the gym (at least) three times a week” and “stop biting my nails” — neither of which I can seem to manage.
For me, New Year’s Eve is an opportunity to assess my parenting skills, or lack thereof, and to think about what I’ve done wrong (yell too much) and what I need to do better (be more patient).
Fortunately, my kids are all too willing to give me another chance, lots of other chances, every day.
Parenting is a process with a steep, even insurmountable, learning curve, and no one right way to go about it.
I’m a closet People magazine fan, and I couldn’t stay away from the August cover featuring Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their new twins. Being the cynic I am, I couldn’t believe I was getting inspiration from Jolie. But there it was, a sentiment I consciously try to implement each day.
“My mom loved being a mom and made sure her children knew every day how much joy we brought to her,” Jolie said. “I hope to give that to my kids.”
That’s one New Year’s resolution I intend to fulfill.
TO #19..In his Rolling Stone interview, Brad also said he and Angie fell in love in making Mr & Mrs Smith. Read the Rolling Stone article Brad gave., he said the same thing Angie said.
Falling in love DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAD TO HAVE HAD SEX.
You can fall in love with someone without sex being involved. Learn something.
dianad1968 @ 01/07/2009 at 11:30 am OK , I am at work, so I have to make this brief. I dont believe that he is saying anything because he wants an Oscar. That is beyond ridiculous.
Now with that said, I am one of the fans who is upset at the “sweetheart” comment. Am I being melodramatic, probably a little, and I would have even been a little more understanding if it was only “the uncool” comment X had made. But IF (and this is a big if) Brad is aware of her comments in GQ against Angie, and he still deems her a “sweetheart”, I have serious reservations about his judgement. And please let me be clear, I in no way wanted Brad to slam his ex, I dont think that is in his nature to do so. But couldn’t he have made a generic statement that he believed she was coerced, (which of course she wasn’t). The only problem X had with the statement was that is was on the cover of the magazine. She said on Oprah she answered as honestly as she could. It’s the same way she said she stood by the 2005 VF interview.
And is it too hard for these interviewers do some research, and get the facts before writing. Thi sfraud of a woman X was not talking about Angie’s comment about falling in love on the set of M&MS, but of the comment Angie made 2 years ago in her Vogue interview.
As a fan of Angie, I am upset about the comment, and I am not going to apologise for being so. At the same time. I understand that my feelings mean squat, and Angie’s is the only one that matters. So if she is happy with him, and it does seem that way, that’s the only thing that matters. I will try very hard to come to terms with the whole situation, and I will always wish him well, but it is a little tainted.
Sorry for my rant.

Obviously, their Brad and Jennifer’s marriage was in deep trouble. Divorce happens and Jennifer Aniston NEEDS TO MOVE ON!!!! Angelina Jolie has done so much good for the United Nations Refugee program. Plus, she donates a tremendous amount of money to charity. Not to mention adopting orphans from Cambodia, Vietnam and Africa. She seems like a very smart, savy woman. I am sure both women are very nice. However, after five years this discussion needs to end once and for all.
julianna, there are other sites hat obsess over hate towards the JPs, they sometimes come to JJ, but you should see what they write. TOTALLY obsessed in a negative disposition. Sick.
Ashley Banks @ 01/07/2009 at 1:49 pm
If Brad care so much about his image or winning an Oscar he would not be talking about gay marriage and religion. If Brad cared so much about his image he would not be talking about giving up smoking (and I’m not talking cigs). Aniston does care about her image so she will never talk about her smoking (and I not talking cigs)
Actually, he knows where his bread is buttered. The gays and the middle american housewives. Talk about maniston stone hits the middle american housewives and they won’t care about the gay talk becuase they love them some maniston.
;;;
talk about gay marriage and that stone hits his second biggest fanbase… da gays.
His smaller fanbase = Angie jolie fans who he has now lost for good. They are mostly silent on blogs though. I am the loudest. :lol:
OATH @ 01/07/2009 at 10:59 am
Hey Ashley Banks, why do you call yourself OATH now?
Not her, hmmm? Sure. Well, whether you are or not you’re still an embarrassment, and if Angie knew how you thought about HER CHOICES she would think you an ignorant person.
