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. |
