Pitt and Jolie make marriage stance - Sept 9, 2020
Brad Pitt, always the social activist, says he will not be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on just who can marry are dropped. "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor says in Esquire magazine’s October issue, on US news-stands on September 19. In the article he reflects on "15 things I think everyone should know".

Though Shiloh, the world-famous daughter of Pitt and girlfriend/earth mother Jolie, hogged much attention on her birth in May, Pitt says he "cannot imagine life" without adopted children Maddox, five, and Zahara, one.

"They’re as much of my blood as any natural born, and I’m theirs," says Pitt. "That’s all I can say about it. I can’t live without them. So: Anyone considering (adoption), that’s my vote."

Pitt, who plays a world traveller in the upcoming drama Babel, subscribes to a laid-back parenting style. "I try not to stifle them in any way," he says. "If it’s not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they’re quite rambunctious." He goes on: "I feel it’s really important to have that time to sit and talk to them.

"I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, ’You have three more minutes’."

Angelina  offended Brad’s mother - Aug 29, 2020
Angelina Jolie reportedly offended Brad Pitt’s mother by drinking at son Maddox’s fifth birthday party. Brad’s family flew in from their hometown in Missouri to visit granddaughter Shiloh Nouvel but allegedly left early because they were unhappy with her behaviour at the party.

Angelina is said to have barely acknowledged Brad’s family and upset his mum, Jane, by having an open bar at the bash. Neither of Brad’s parents drink and they didn’t approve of Angelina drinking around her and Brad’s children and the other youngsters at the party.

A source told America’s Star magazine: "They were the only ones not drinking and it was uncomfortable for them. To Jane, drinking is unhealthy, and she thought Angelina was intoxicated. "Things were very tense that weekend, and they left with an even worse impression of Angelina than before. They think she is tactless and doesn’t consider other peoples feelings." The Pitt family allegedly cut their trip short after just two days, leaving on the day of the party.

Biography

Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4 1975 the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand.  Raised by her mother after her parents divorced when she was just a year old, Angelinagre up in New York where she kept snakes and lizards as pets and became entranced by the movies. 

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions.  Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes.  At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself.  Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.

At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz.  Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father.  She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2.  Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.

Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom.  However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame.  The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.

Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike.  Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances.  Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox.  At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire.  Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.

In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt.  Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit.  The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
