Angelina Jolie: How Brad Pitt & I Fell in Love
TUESDAY DECEMBER 12, 2006 10:20AM EST
By Stephen M. Silverman
For the first time, Angelina Jolie has described what happened between her
and Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith - and she insists she never had
any intention of breaking up his marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
When she first met her costar on the set of the thriller in 2003, "I didn't
know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life," Jolie, 31,
says in the January issue of Vogue, according to excerpts published in the
New York Post. "But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he
loves and respects.
"And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives. . I think we were
the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't.
I was quite content to be a single mom."
But "Brad was a huge surprise to me. I, like most people, had a very distant
impression of him from . the media," she says.
"Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these
crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership
that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized,
'God, I can't wait to get to work.' . Anything we had to do with each other,
we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We
just became kind of a pair."
They didn't start thinking about a relationship right away, she says. "It
took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it
might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe.
And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that
was going to take a lot of serious consideration."
The two remained "very, very good friends" from the time the movie wrapped
in 2004 until after Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January
2005, Jolie says.
Jolie says that the time she spent getting to know Pitt before his split was
"not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe. We spent a
lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted
in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things.
"And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good
friends - with this realization - for a long time," she says. "And then life
developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something
we would do, we should do."
In fact, it was her son, Madddox, now 5, who helped seal the deal. (Jolie
and Pitt are also parents to Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months.) One
day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," says Jolie. "It was
amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both
heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other. So that was
probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a
family."
Jolie also says she'd be willing to meet with Aniston, but "That would be
her decision, and I would welcome it."
Pitt has said he and Jolie would not wed until all couples can legally
marry, and Jolie agrees that tying the knot is not a priority. "We both have
been married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some
people together," she says. "We are legally bound to our children, not to
each other, and I think that's the most important thing."

do seem an apt pairing as they both seem convinced of their radical
innocence in the matter and will virtually believe any story they can
cook up to rationalize it.

That is hysterical! What developed is they decided to bang eachother's lights out and then have Brad
dump the woman he vowed to be with for the rest of his life to God. That's what developed. These
Hollywood people are so warped.

Yup! I'd almost rather hae read that they, in good old Hollywood
tradition, had an affair while they were making the movie and then,
when it got out, denied and tried to hide it, again an old tradition on
adultery, and then, again, later found it to be more than just a fling,
and that they went on from there. Perfectly understandable, could
happen to anyone -- and has.

I'm not surprised at all. Brad & Angie (and many other celebrities)
have no class and no value in relationships. The words "commitment" and
"faithful" do not exist in their vocabulary. "Oh, I didn't mean to
break up their relationship," or "hurt Jennifer in the process. It was
totally unintentional. I feel bad for Jennifer." No surprise Brad says
the same thing.

Although they *are* celebrities, this has nothing to do with stardom.
It's a publicity-driven office affair that sounds like it's almost over.
Angelina will move on to some other man, having worked her wiles
with Pitt while still proclaiming herself a saint.

Oh please. It happens everyday!!! God forbid Brad Pitt breaks up with
"Rachel Green". God forbid we, as a society, label them as a "Golden
Couple" and they had the nerve not to follow through. What a bunch of
ass***** they did not live up to OUR expectations and they did not play
their part.
If Brad and Jen's marriage was as good as people say, then nothing that
Angie could have done would have broken them up. They had some major
problems before Angie come along.

All of that translates into, "I'll continue giving you blow jobs,
Brad, but until you dump Jen, don't be expectin' the whole enchilada."
And where did Maddox come up wth DAD? A lot of coaching it sounds
like.
Finally, they won't get married untl all the couples of the world are
allowed to get married? Pu-llease!

If he said it at all, of course. Lucky for Angelina "Matron Saint of
the World's Chilluns" Jolie that "Mad" chose to pull the "Dad" line on
studley Brad and not on the tubby guy who comes over daily to slavishly
scrub the tiles around their Meditation Pool.
I got a sudden premonition. Fast-forward two or three decades; Maddox's
"Mommy Dearest" book will be titled "I Never Called Him Dad."

Of course Ang will have to have her thug bodyguard make sure Aniston
isn't carrying any knives or anything when they meet.

Aw, come on - didn't Aniston herself say they hadn't been having sex for
over a year? For two healthy people in their age bracket with their
lifestyle and a marriage so young, that's not even a "normal" marriage,
let alone a strong one.

In other words: "Don't hate me. I have a movie coming out!"
That one will definitely go on my list
"I wasn't trying to slap you, my hand slipped."
"I wasn't trying to get pregnant, we were just screwing."
"I wasn't staring, I just couldn't take my eyes away."
"A pedestrian hit me and went under my car."
I wasn't trying to undermine the marriage, "it just suddenly happened."
You've GOT to be kidding!

Or another way to look at it...
It takes two to make a marriage, but only one, who is not committed, to
destroy it.
Even if the marriage needed it's last rites, there's something called
tact.

Reading Ed's rehashing/paraphrasing of her description on how she got
together with Brad is truly creepy. The reason why is because it was
actually her job, yet she made it sound like she met him on a reality
show like Survivor or something. I just kind of got a chill up my spine
when I read that.
The comment about how it wasn't until after the movie wrapped up that
she allowed herself to believe they could be something more than just
pals was kind of gross. It's like she was sidestepping the fact that
for a few months she felt guilty that he had a whole shitload of
emotional baggage to contend with and then she just went for it and
took her chances one day on him. It made it sound like her
relationships on movies with the people she works with do not seem real
to her; that they're all fake and she never really knows the person
until the film is over.
I think that's sad. I've heard numerous other actors (Gene Hackman,
Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, etc. instantly come to mind) say that
they met some of their closest friends *and knew it* while making
films. Yet somehow Angelina cannot truly understand the true worth of
another human being until a film wraps. How the hell did she ever win
an academy award when she takes her *profession* SO FOR GRANTED?!?!!?
She has lunch with these people off the set, converses with them in
their trailers on the lot, etc., etc., yet she just doesn't "get them"
and realize their true worth 'til after these films wrap. That's 100%
different from what she said about Billy Bob Thornton after the release
of Pushing Tin, but whatever...
Bizarre, really...

___________________________________
It's a timeline thing. She still has to tell the story that we did not
get involved on the picture. Which is a lie because I read a blog
about a young woman in the biz who met Brad and he made a pass. She
had a chance to go with him and did not. She said she was glad cause
she had a friend who worked on Mr & Mrs. Smith and the story is AJ and
Pitt were an iten during the film. Which is AJ's MO.
That being said, I don't think Brad and Jen's marriage was that strong.

But don't underestimate a re-enraged little firecracker like Aniston,
after Ang's latest pile of crap deposited on Jen's plate. It's like
those people who were alleged to have found the strength to lift cars
off of people in a rush of adrenaline during an emergency situation.
Leetiebug
She didn't actually admit that, did she? I read the whole Vogue
article when it came out and I don't remember that part. I'm not
accusing you of lying, I am mostly just shocked. Got a link?
Leetiebug
I read on a blog recently that Jennifer is planning on giving Vanity
Fair a tell-all interview where she will contend that Pitt admitted he
cheated on her with Angelina on the set of M&MS.
Stinky
married/taken men. Of course she is not as attractive as she once was,
so maybe she will settle down with Brad and leave the other married men
alone.
CliffB
Aniston should start dating Jon Voight, just for spite. Then she can
release a press statement that she'd be willing to meet with Jolie to
discuss the issues standing between Ang and Papa Jon and extend her
sympathetic shoulder.
defiant
(That's very noble of you, Brad!, lol)
Ange: I won't marry Brad because marriage doesn't keep people together.
(it can, Ange, when you see it for what it is. Something that needs
more than being able to have good sex or be a good parent.)
They have quite different views for not wanting to be married. Are
they on the same page? lol or are they about to get married? lol
Ange: I don't trust anyone.......I know Brad won't do anything.......I
don't know, I don't trust anyone.
(This is a good thing for Brad to read and hear, isn't it?, and why do
I think that she must be lonely?, she doesn't trust anyone, so does she
really share HER life with anyone?
And Ange, an emotional connection isn't the ALL of everything, wanting
similar things isn't everything. In one's lifetime, we are emotionally
connected to many people, that is not the MAIN thing so to speak.)
I hope with all these things that they find a way to be happy. I hope
it is not as clinical as she makes it sound.
WarriorW...@yahoo.com
I don't care especially that they broke up or what the timeline was.
But don't give us this drivel "that we didn't get involved until after
Brad and Jen separated. Can't stand liars.

I don't know if I read the article myself (it might be archived on this
group in google?), but there is a discussion about it on various
blogs/newsgroups. This link is a discussion at femalefirst, which
sources the info as coming from a Life & Style article.

Discussion of 'no sex for two years' story (very long thread):
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/board/about50623.html
And again, it's mentioned here by Nonickname that they saw the article
(but no article posted):

+sex&rnum=17&hl=en#e8c83ba73023d199
From what I can gather, her "pals" were floating the information as
something she would include in a "tell all" book about her marriage, if
anyone wanted to offer her enough money for the book.
Interestingly, when I googled this, this old story from 2001 popped up
where Aniston revealed she also dated Pitt for NINE MONTHS before she
had sex with him for the first time!! It's explicit in the article that
this was her idea, not his. This was aired as part of a positive "see,
it's real love" story, but that's a looooong time for adults (who have
both lived with other partners previously) to wait for sex:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/alt.showbiz.gossip/browse_frm/thread/4b
8d6591e27dc15/71655d4d74593a08?lnk=st&q=aniston+pitt+no+sex&rnum=8&hl=en#
71655d4d74593a08
If there was no sex for the first nine months of the relationship, and
then no sex for the last two years, then that must mean that more than
half of their time together was completely sex-free. I would guess that
would also mean there was not much sex in between, either. I think the
appeal of Angelina 'Do Me' Jolie is becoming clearer.

Thanks. I don't think I'm buying it, though. I clearly remember
Jennifer being interviewed by Diane Sawyer or Baba Wawa and implying
that her first date with Brad was dinner and a movie at her place and
ended with them in bed together. I'll see if I can find a clip on
YouTube.

Frankly, AFAIC, she can change her story as often as she likes, as long
as she keeps it interesting!

Here's something:
ANISTON AND PITT'S SCARY FIRST DATE
Jennifer Aniston was terrified before her first date with hunky husband
Brad Pitt -- but his down-to-earth nature soon put her completely at
ease.
The Hollywood supercouple enjoyed their initial night together in 1998,
and Jennifer admits the pair were so smitten with each other from the
start, they didn't bother to leave the room for the entire date.
She says, "Yeah we stayed in, we ordered food and that was it -- we
never left the room. I was nervous before; dating is hard, you know. It
was a good date though."
from:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2004/01/30/ddish.DTL
If you Google "jennifer aniston, brad pitt, 'first date'" you'll find
lots of discussion in various places about how their publicists hooked
them up, they had sex on the first date, and moved in together shortly
thereafter. I think they were probably very hot and heavy at first,
just like a normal couple. Unfortunately, no one has uploaded the
entire Diane Sayer interview from Jan. 2004, but here is the preview
clip from Good Morning America.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvc1FFSLYYs
During the full interview, she discussed her first date with Brad, how
they ate dinner at her place and watched a movie and he never left.
