Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are one of Hollywood's A-list couples
who've been releasing blockbusters left and right. The two first worked
together on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and from then on became
inseparable. Recently, Brad spoke up in Angelina's defense when the New
York Times asserted that she was quite an expert at handling the press.
Brad said in an interview that, "It sounded to me like the story made
Angie out to be manipulative in some way. She is savvy… I get defensive.
[They're] talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the
people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she's
as honorable as anyone I've ever met."
Lately, the power couple has been seen out and about to promote Brad's
latest movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". "The Curious Case of
Benjamin Button", tells the story of a man named Benjamin Button "…who
starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences…" will be shown in
theaters on Christmas Day. Brad's co-stars have revealed their
admiration for him, telling the press separately that they have a high
regard for the star who known for his roles in "Fight Club", "Troy",
"Meet Joe Black", and many more. Co-star Jason Flemyng revealed his
admiration for the way Brad has dealt with stardom, saying, "I'm sure he
gets frustrated by it. It's mental but he copes with a great sense of
humor." Jason added, "I don't know this side of Brad. I've made two
movies with him and spent a lot of time with him. When we made Snatch we
could go to a pub and have a drink. I don't know this at all - it's
amazing." Julia Ormond, another co-star, also sang Pitt's praises. "He's
just very much somebody who doesn't really care about his looks and as
an actor is way more talented than perhaps people would perceive. I'm
just really glad for him that he got to do a role that shows his range."
For those who want to see more of Brad, they can watch his interview on
the "Ellen DeGeneres Show", where they talk about Proposition 8 and
George Clooney, among other things. Brad, who was outspoken in his
support of Proposition 8, said that, "…To me, [it, is an issue of
equality, and I go back to the Declaration of Independence - that we are
all created equal. We're all free for life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness and that proposition was stepping on people's pursuit of
happiness, people's liberty, and I don't think it has any place in our
definition of America. So I hope we figure that one out."
