One Week: Brad & Angelina

Posted November 17, 2008

As one of the most-watched women in the world, Angelina Jolie, who stars in Clint Eastwood’s new film, Changeling, has been photographed by thousands of strangers. But what happens when the man behind the camera is her partner and the father of her children, Brad Pitt? In these remarkably intimate and unguarded portraits, commissioned by W, Pitt captures a week in the life of Jolie and their family at home in the South of France. Every family has its unique rites of passage. In the Jolie-Pitt household, one such event is the day a kid begins collecting daggers. Angelina Jolie […]

A Woman in Full

“I love it,” she smiled and laughed while talking about her pregnancy. “It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. “Also,” she continued, dropping her voice, leaning in, “I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.” Jolie was […]

Angelina Jolie Wanted Q&A

Posted June 24, 2008

She’s a human rights advocate and, in summer action flick Wanted, a remorseless killer. In a frank interview, the star with the disarming and dangerous persona talks about sex, tattoos, motherhood, war, and peace Think it’s difficult finding a Father’s Day present for the man in your life? Try being Angelina Jolie. ”Brad is the hardest person to shop for,” she says while checking out a window display of Corum watches at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat in the south of France. ”He has impeccable design taste. And whenever he sees something he likes, he buys it for himself.” Pitt’s most […]

Angelina Jolie Dies for Our Sins

Posted July 17, 2007

There is a question people ask when they hear you’ve met with Angelina Jolie. It is not about her work in Darfur, her work with children orphaned by AIDS. It’s this: Is she…sexy?  Her sexiness is supposed to be larger than life, but in fact it’s smaller, because it shows through in her gestures and in the details of her beauty. And so it’s not the main thing when you meet her. “I entered this business before I had focus and purpose in my life. I was very unhappy, very unhealthy, and when I sat down for an interview, I […]

Angelina Jolie| The Bold and the Beautiful

Angelina Jolie| The Bold and the Beautiful

Posted January 1, 2007

“The middle of nowhere” is about halfway between L.A. and Las Vegas at a dusty old airstrip in the desert called the Barstow-Daggett Airport. Angelina Jolie loves this place. Something about its broken-down beauty and military history speaks to her dual craving for authenticity and manliness. She calls it, simply, “Daggett.” As in “Brad and I like to fly in to meet our motorcycles at Daggett. One time we took a three-hour bike ride in the desert to a place where we spent the night alone. And then we rode the bikes back to Daggett and flew back to L.A. […]

Domestic Bliss

Domestic Bliss

Posted July 17, 2005

Sometime last year, Brad Pitt began giving a lot of thought to unhappy marriages. The actor was in Los Angeles filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. While the movie uses domestic ennui as a backdrop for a series of high-style action sequences, Pitt wanted to tell a darker, truer tale, one that explored the “unidentifiable malaise” that so often haunts a seemingly happy couple. “You don’t know what’s wrong because the marriage is everything you signed up for.” That was the inspiration for this shoot, which Pitt created with photographer Steven Klein. Tired of celebrity portraiture and always up for an […]

Dodging Bullets

It’s not the first time news of a much-rumored big-movie romance has gone supernova. But… the saga of [Brad and Angelina] sets a new, 21st-century benchmark–a sort of perfect publicity storm centered on two beautiful people whom the public is treating as daydream playthings, to the chagrin of at least one player among Mr. & Mrs. Smith‘s creative team. “I don’t like the exploitation of personal lives in tabloids,” says Akiva Goldsman, one of five main producers on Smith. “I think it’s grim. I don’t think it helps anybody. Do I think it helps or hurts the movie? I think […]

Sex and the Single Mom

Sex and the Single Mom

Posted June 17, 2005

“You know, you’re sleeping with your kid all the time and you’re like, I haven’t had sex in months, let alone tempted anyone,” says Angelina Jolie. She’s sitting cross-legged beside me on an overstuffed couch at a hotel bar in Beverly Hills. She’s slender in jeans and a silky tunic. A soft black shawl keeps slipping from her bare left shoulder, where there’s a tattoo of a dragon and a smudge of makeup covering up the shadow of the lasered-away name “Billy Bob.” When you said you sleep with men in hotel rooms, I was like, Oh, yeah, I do […]

Angelina Jolie Is a Woman We Love

Posted November 17, 2004

She materializes in the dark lobby bar at the Hotel Bel-Air, a wisp of smoke, late but somehow unexpected. It is our second meeting. In the three nights since last we met, she has stayed in three different hotels — two in Beverly Hills and one in New York City, where she went, she says, partly because she had a business meeting, but also because her son loves to play in Central Park. Her son’s name is Maddox Jolie, and she adopted him in Cambodia in 2002. Like his mother, the boy is airplane mad. She promised him on his […]
