Ann Curry Archives

Ann Curry has interviewed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie many times. Here’s what the 52-year-old NBC journalist told OK! about the power couple:

On Angelina: “I like her a lot. I see her as a very smart person, a very compassionate person who does movies.”

On Brad and Angie highlighting about what really matters in life: “What I love is that when you talk to actors you know the good they can do – it’s really touching because there are so many reasons why they could be just selfish and focus on themselves, but they’re not. When very very powerful people like Angie and Brad are focused on lovely projects that really change peoples lives you just want to applaud them, it’s just fantastic.”

On Angie’s upcoming project: “In fact I may be talking to Angie coming up very soon. It’s something important and I’m excited to see her again.”

Brad Pitt sat down for another interview with Today Show’s Ann Curry to talk about his Make It Right Foundation project in New Orleans. He also talked a bit about his family:

On his six children: “I’m really proud of this family. I look at my sons and daughters. … I feel rich being around them. Each one offers so much to the mix.”

On why he doesn’t talk much about his family in interviews: “I just walk away feeling bad about it when I do. It seems to get cheapened somehow as it goes through the filter and the airwaves. I just want to keep it close to the chest.”

On if he’d marry Angelina Jolie: “If we feel it’s important to our kids, we would.”

Be sure to watch Brad on Thursday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It’s his first time ever on the show!

Brad Pitt and NBC News’ Ann Curry chat up his efforts to bring green design (eco-friendly building and development) to Katrina-devasted city of New Orleans. Brad, who owns a home with Angelina Jolie in the French Quarter of New Orleans, continually offers support to green building in the region.

“It’s about dignity,” Brad said during his exclusive interview. “You look around, the first thing that gets sacrificed in affordable housing is lights, ventilation. You see here we got great light. There’s windows everywhere.”

While sowing the green affordable housing, Brad added, “There is this great breeze coming in they’re here. All– all the materials here are nontoxic. And I think, for the family that’s going to be here, especially being a father that it’s got to feel good to know that he’s giving his family a better way of life.”

Brad’s interview with Today airs this morning and Thursday morning @ 7-10AM ET/PT on NBC.

Curry traveled to New Orleans to speak with Brad about his efforts to bring energy-efficient and environmentally friendly homes to New Orleans.

Angelina Jolie sits down with NBC News’ Anny Curry to discuss her new movie A Mighty Heart, having a fourth child and losing her mom, Marcheline Bertrand.

Said a tearful Jolie, “This has been a heavy year in losing my mom and having a fourth child. I’m very aware of time and of memories and of doing and enjoying life, not just doing the right thing and being a useful person, which I certainly want to be and believe I am. I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I want to also do the things that I love. So I’m at a strange place in my life. That happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. Yet at the same time, you want to enjoy and laugh as much as possible everyday. But I’m holding onto my family really tight at this moment because of that and trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life. Dammit. You got me crying. (Curry apologizes) That’s alright. It’s part of life. … I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”
