I never meant to steal Brad from Aniston: Jolie
From Nicole Sperling

NEW YORK—Angelina Jolie never meant to steal Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt away from “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston, the bombshell actress says in a candid interview due out this week.
The Vogue magazine interview, Jolie’s first major interview to address her relationship with Tinseltown’s hottest property, she also shoots down speculation that the Hollywood pair are planning to get hitched.
Jolie and Pitt were thrown together on the set of action flick “Mr and Mrs Smith” in 2003.
And although Jolie doesn’t say whether anything happened at the time, Pitt and Aniston announced their split just over a year later.
“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,” she says. “We just became kind of a pair.”
“I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t,” she says in the magazine’s January issue, which is due to hit the newsstands Friday with a cover of Jolie shot by Annie Leibovitz.
Jolie says she was happy as a single mother and knew Pitt was happily married when they met. “It was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects,” she says.
Jolie says she was only briefly introduced to Aniston once but was open to another meeting. “That would be her decision, and I would welcome it,” she says.
In response to rumours that Hollywood’s first couple are planning to get married, she says simply: “We have both been married before so it’s not marriage that necessarily kept some people together.”
Jolie, who hasn’t spoken to her father, “Midnight Cowboy” star Jon Voigt, in five years, also candidly admits the issues she has with trust.
“I don’t trust anyone... I don’t think it’s a good thing. This is going to make you think that maybe I should get some therapy, but trust is such a bizarre word.
“I trust Brad will never do anything,” she says, before adding “I don’t know. I don’t trust anybody completely.”
Jolie shot to fame in “Tomb Raider” as Lara Croft, a scantily-clad and anatomically improbable video game character who travelled the world in the hunt for rare artefacts.
Her latest performance is alongside Matt Damon in “The Good Shepherd,” a Robert De Niro film examining the early history of the CIA that opens in the United States next week.
