Actress and busy mum Angelina Jolie "fell hard" for Brad Pitt on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" but reveals in a shocking interview for Vogue that she didn't chase Pitt just because he was married to his, at the time, "best friend," Jennifer Aniston, Jolie said in an ultra revealing interview.
In her first interview where she reveals the mechanics of how it all went down, as Aniston lost her husband to the sultry siren, Jolie tells about life as half of the world's most observered couple. Jolie tells Vogue magazine she never intended to ruin Pitt's marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston, it just happened.
"I didn't know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life [when they met on set of "Mr. & Mrs.Smith"]. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects," Jolie said in a revealing interview in Vogue's January issue."...and so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives."
Jolie claims she was fully committed to living life as a single mum when she was cast with Pitt in the action romance film.
"Brad was a huge surprise to me," said Jolie. "I, like most people, had a very distant impression of him from . . . the media. "I think we were the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn't," Jolie said. "I was quite content to be a single mom."
The New York Post reports that Jolie "was thrilled working with Pitt every day while shooting "Smith" in 2003 and 2004."
"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. I think a few months in I realized, 'God, I can't wait to get to work,' " she said in Vogue's January issue.
"Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair."
As the film progressed, Jolie's interest in being more than professional castmates ventured into lustful yearnings.
"And it took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe," Jolie said to Vogue magazine. "And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."
Jolie then denies she and Brad were anything serious until he announced his breakup with Aniston.
Insiders tell the New York Post's David Li it was simply "not true," and that Pitt and Aniston filed for divorce that spring "amid rampant reports that the Hollywood hunk had his eye on Jolie the whole time."
Jolie couches her language in the Vogue interview carefully regarding the timing aspect of exactly when they started physically seeing each other, and claimes their initial hook up to Vogue was: "Not as exciting as what a lot of people would like to believe," Jolie said. "We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things."
Jolie mentions in the Vogue interview that she met Aniston and is open to sit down an chat with her.
"I did [once meet Aniston], but it was not a proper meeting. We've, like, passed each other and said 'hi' briefly, shook hands. But not a real sit-down-and-talk kind of meeting," Jolie said to Vogue magazine.
Jolie still is coy about marriage plans to Pitt.
"We both have been married before, so it's not marriage that's necessarily kept some people together. We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that's the most important thing," she said to Vogue magazine..
The Post's David Li reports that Jolie has been estranged from dad Jon Voight for five years. Her ailing mother Marcheline Bertrand resides in a hospice in Los Angeles.
Jolie admits in the interview she is adverse to physical displays of affection, except when it comes to her expanding brood.
"I'm committed to the future now," Jolie said in the Vogue interview. "I'm committed to life. I think definitely before my son, I was a little nihilistic. But once I adopted Mad [Maddox], I knew I was never going to be intentionally self-destructive again."
Vogue's interview on Jolie includes artwork by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Jolie has recently wrapped "A Mighty Heart" playing the wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl. The Post's David Li reports that it was a role Aniston allegedly had her sights on.
Jolie talks extensively about how her family came to be, with son Maddox spontaneously involving Pitt into the familial mix. "One day, Maddox "just out of the blue called him Dad," she said. "It was amazing. We were playing with cars on the floor of a hotel room, and we both heard it and didn't say anything and just looked at each other."
"So that was probably the most defining moment, when he decided that we would all be a family," she said to Vogue.

Merry christmas and happy new year to Jennifer Aniston-huh?
what a callous move. Maybe she should just act and keep adopting needy children.
wow.
angelina seems to be a woman with (perhaps) such low self-esteem that when she plays with fellow stars, she falls in love, confusing their onstage 'love' for the real thing, and these guys are bewitched by their own fantasies to marry it - clive owen is a stable guy so he did not go for her in that rather tepid film about helping children, etc. which jolie totally blew (she is not an actress of any prowess, nor does she seem to aspire to be) if she wants to be a politician she has the right temperament and the right moral integrity for that - i.e. rather shoddy. why does she give such a bad impression when she tries so hard otherwise - part of the reason lies in the question, 'why must she try so hard?' no,i am also not a fan of hers - and to remain estranged from her dad after all this time, is attention-seeking turf if there ever was.
We can not help with whom we fall in love. If your love is strong it is also impossible to deny. I speak from experience. Any relationship put into text will always sound sordid, luckilly as a rule most of us do not have to. Unfortunately , we the public, demand that celebs explain their personal lives to us, and in the process we then make judgements on a person we have never met, do not know and have no direct knowledge of to make a qualified opinion of. We are the ones who need to look at our morals , not them. I for one would not make a judgement on any one unless I had direct dealings them and knowledge of the person or event in question. There are always two sides to every story and you can guarantee the side we here is never correct.
Jade - but you're forgetting that people still have a choice. They have a choice of whether or not to feed an interest, or to kill it because they realize that it would cause much pain to another person. I was once faced with that same choice, and decided that I didn't want to be selfish and so I decided not to feed my interest in a specfic person and distanced myself from him.
Also, Angelina had a choice of what to say in this interview. Really, what is the purpose of her telling the world and Jennifer how she fell in love with her (at that time) husband. What good does it bring? So what if the public demands to know about their private life. She doesn't have to feed the public's demand...she has a choice.
Sometimes people don't realize that denying yourself something that you think you really want now will actually bring about more happiness later. That sacrificing your own want out of love to others will actually make you far richer in the long run...
She seems to have quite the track record-- and that is what we know of. Let's see. Billy Bob...engaged...leaves long time fiance for Ms. Jolie. Brad Pitt...married...leaves wife of four years for Ms. Jolie. Let's call a spade a spade...so sick of people putting this woman as some type of role model. Once maybe it was circumstance...but come on people...she goes after the guys that are a challenge. Is Brad hot...of course...but how about some integrity. I await the day that this 'love' comes to a crashing halt. KARMA WHERE ARE YOU! It is so wrong...so very wrong.
Those are some harsh comments. Taken aback as well at the frank interview but you can't call her names- that's terrible! And what I hate most? Think about this: Angelina takes the flack, Brad walks clean. What is it with that? It takes two to build a relationship.
In this scenario it took two to have lied and got caught! The Vogue's interview did nothing but gave her bad publicity (perhaps she should have learn to be more diplomatic). I would be extremly surprise if Vogue sells more than Vanity Fair with Jen's interview in it. People aren't easily fool by excuses. Angie you need to take a lesson in 'SELF CONTROL'. It is something you really need.
Unfortunately Brad probably doinked Angelina on set they got pregnant ...Angelina tells Brad... Brad leaves wife.... Simple, there is no love story here.
As for Angelina talking of Jennifers and Brads relationship...SHUT UP. She has alot of nerve after aiding in there divorce go peace talk somewhere else ya vixon.
Angelina Jolie wishes to make peace with Jennifer Aniston? Is that the story? Frankly, I do not see it
brad n jen r perfect 2getha well wer b4 homewrecker angelina cam along ther so rong 2getha u dnt just b wit sum1 coz ur child called him dad it redicoulus
I seriously should have responded to this heinous article as soon
as it came out. I really hope all of you people who posted earlier
will have come back to this article and read my comments.
Unforunately, Angelina's careless comments have only made the
situation with Brad regarding the media and publi, worse not better.
You have hundreds of articles misportraying her comments as some
sort of confession of adultery. You have many websites, t.v. shows,
and other media outlets just flat out lying about her comments and
phrasing things in such a way as to make her look guilty and shameful.
The media has an extreme Team Aniston bias, and they are still
misportaying, lying, and villifying Brad and Angelina using this
false tabloid rumor. Though it should come as no suprise that
all of you people that posted would blindly allow yourselves to
be corrupted, manipulated, deceived, and brainwashed..all of
you were corrupted, manipulated, deceived, and brainwashed
months ago when you chose to jump on the Team Aniston bandwagon
in the first place. Brad and Angelina did NOT have an adulterous
affair and she was NOT the cause of his divorce with Jennifer.
Jennifer is not a victim. If you people had any good sense or
any understanding of the evil and insane reality of Brad and
Angelina's situation, you would know not to trust or believe
this article.
Let me clarify a bunch of things. All of these headlines are
very misleading. Much more than misleading. They are blatant,
outrageous lies. Angelina never, ever said that she fell hard
for Brad on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Angelina never, ever
said that she did not intend to ruin his marriage to Jennifer.
She also never, ever said that things did not become serious
between her and Brad until he split from Jennifer. Alot of
these words did NOT come from Angelina, but originated from
the creep from the New York Post, who wrote the article
about Angelina's interview. In fact, the author of this
article completely adds his own lies and b.s. to make it
appear as if she were confessing that she and Brad had an
affair on the set of that movie. That is not what she said
or implied. Her comments were very ambiguous, erratic,
distorted, and off-base...making it perfect for Team Aniston
to pounce on and to shamelessly lie about. All of the people
who responded to this article clearly mistook this as some
sort of proof and evidence that the this evil rumor that
started all of this was true. The media does not care about
finding the truth, the media just keeps sinking deeper and
deeper into this state of delusional depravity. They will
never let this false tabloid allegation go. The entire
false viewpoint about Brad, Angelina, and Jennifer is based
on this false tabloid allegation.
It is no suprise to me, that the media would misportay and
misinterpret Angelina's careless comments about her romance
with Brad. Angelina did not truly describe at all when, why,
and how her romance with Brad happened. All she did was
describe her feelings about him on the set of Mr. and Mrs.
Smith. She made a lousy attempt in trying to explain how
a strong bond of friendship developed between them and how
it would later evolve into a romance when he became single.
She also stupidly mixes in comments and thoughts about how
things were when they first met, to later on, to how things
were when they first became romatically involved, and to
how some things are in the present. Her romance with Brad
Pitt unexpectedly began about three months after he and
Jennifer split up. That is what she meant when she kept
saying that she did not plan this romance with Brad Pitt,
that is just happened. They did not act on or acknowledge
their attraction to each other on the set of that movie.
Things were very harmless, innocent, and playful between
them during the set of that movie. She was trying to
explain to people how the professional and platonic
dynamic between them later on turned romantic..and that it
happened after he and Jennifer split up. When Brad Pitt
became single, there was no reason for them not to act
on the natural connection and chemistry that they share
with each other. The problem is because of that false
affair tabloid story, the world would get the wrong impression
of why that marriage ended in the first place. The reality is,
there was no correlation between his divorce to Jennifer to
his later romance with Angelina Jolie.
The so-called realization that Angelina was referring to, was
not a joint realization. How dare she used the word we! She
has no right to speak for Brad Pitt, especially since she
does not listen to, respect, or understand him. Meaning
Brad Pitt was not viewing Angelina as a love interest
when he was still with Jennifer. He did not cheat on Jennifer
and he had no plans of hooking up with Angelina in the future
at the time. Brad Pitt is a very moral guy. I just hope people
will understand that Brad Pitt was not behaving and thinking
the same way that Angelina was at the time. When he first
hooked up with Angelina in April of 2005, it was a complete
suprise to him. He was just a newly single guy moving on with
his life. It was Angelina who initiated this romance. I also
need to point out this important fact. Angelina said that she
and Brad remained good, good friends until his separation from
Jennifer in January. That comment was slightly off because
Brad Pitt did not have any sort of correspondence with Angelina
after the original shooting of Mr. and Mrs. Smith was over.
Meaning that he and Angelina would not speak until Jan of 2005,
which was after he and Jen split up. I say original because
they both had to do a couple of reshoots for Mr. and Mrs.
Smith after he and Jen split up. Don't you people understand
that these Team Aniston-biased journalists are putting their
own negative spin on her comments to make this interview seem
incriminating?
Angelina's comments were convoluted and disorganized. She is
very inarticulate and does not think before she speaks. The
person who wrote this article about her interview would
lie about so many things. There was nothing specific, careful,
or exact about her words...in fact it was the complete opposite,
making it very easy for this journalist to twist her own words
around and use it against her. Angelina is an idiot. She not
only put her foot in her mouth and shot herself but she is
bringing down Brad Pitt with her stupidity and recklessness
as well. By the way, Brad and Jen were not best friends and he
was not living a full life. Angelina for some reason, chose
to share her misperceptions about his marriage with Jennifer
when she and Brad first met. She, like the majority of people,
would buy into the whole 'golden couple' facade. Later on,
after she and Brad got together, they would discuss his past,
including that marriage and divorce in great detail. Angelina
chose not to discuss Brad's reasons in ending his marriage to
Jennifer, out of respect for Jennifer, because the truth is
very ugly. Which is crazy considering Jennifer showed zero
respect and had no restraint in lying about Brad Pitt and
their marriage. So people will never know his side of the story
and the truth behind that divorce. Angelina is a dysfunctional,
impulsive, neurotic mess and her words often come out as
scrambled babbling. The few people on Brad's side, are still trying
to figure out how Angelina mind works. Alot of her words and
action are off the wall and sometimes make no sense. Brad Pitt
is a beautiful and wonderful person with strong morals, values,
and integrity. But he is a lousy judge of character. The pregnancy
was conceived 8 months after he and Jennifer split up and five
months after he and Angie became involved, and the pregnancy was
not planned. Please leave this tragic couple alone and please
let that evil lie ago. There was no adultery.
I am so sorry. I made a gigantic typo. The correct sentence
is there was an attraction but they did NOT act on it or
acknowledge it. That was a huge error. I never thought the
media would go so far to make the public believe this lie.
I really hope Robin, Jade, Mel, etc will have come back
and read my comments. It is difficult dealing with this
mess but someone needs to stand up and speak out against
what is happening. Who knows how many people will have
read this article and wrongly believed it? Please do not
delete.
To 'Brad's Friend'
Dude you need to get a life.....it is a comment column not a book. People have the right to see the story their way some are for Brad and Angelina and some are not. If you are an immediate family member of Brad Pits and he has been confinding in you than you have evey right to try and make things right otherwise you are no better than the rest of us, you see the story your way....get over it.
Jolie is an attractive woman and l guess brad fell 4 her. y blam jolie 4 everything. it takes 2 to build a relationship.they were meant to b 2gether
What a crock of xxxx. I can't stand her more and more every day. Get her off the TV/internet already.
Elena you took the words right out of my mouth. Angelina had a choice to keep mouth shut and to not pursue someone's husband. People do have a choice even though they think they are 'in love'.
Hey Brad's Friend, as far as being Brad's friend, who cares. Get a life. Brad is a bad judge of character. Would you marry a woman who is a nut like Angelina? Even her own dad doesn't want to talk to her. You will never convince me that there was 'nothing' before the split from Jen. Righhhhtttt...
Jolie said she never intended taking Brad away, she was happy being a single mother, is she for real? who on this planet wants to be a single mom, its a kid not a dog for god sake.
She planned getting Brad by using Maddox and she is known for lying, i remember quite clearly in an interview, her saying that she had no interest in Pitt, then within weeks they were together. C'mon slut make up yr mind, if u are ashamed of yr actions maybe its because its shameful.
I think Jen needs to (desperately) GROW UP and GET OVER IT. She 'claims' she doesn't want the attention though she KEEPs bringing it up. Angie and Brad were made for each other, Jen is a whiny needy I want it all brat and needs serious in hospital counseling. Anyone wonder why Every movie Aniston has 'acted' in (the woman couldn't act her way out of a paper bag), she plays the dumped, rejected loser female? and now she's posing in just a necktie to show the world she's still hot. She's Not Hot and Never Was, same hairstyle (needs a trim, Jen, and btw it's not the hippy years anymore)and has No Life. Jen, please, Please, PLEASE ST%U and get a good shrink, I know you can afford one cause you were soooo overpaid on Friends.
Jen is just jealous and neurotic, can't let go of the fact that she was dumped for a sane, beautiful, classy and graceful loving woman who acts circles around her and *gasp* Brad is happy without her. Some people never can forgive or forget but every time Jen starts whining (again, it's like, 2005 to 2009 whinathon), she's just showing the world how needy and neurotic her matchstick self is.
Go Brad and Angie, I admire you both and think it's a pity that Brad wasted 6 years on Jen in the first place.
UR 100 percent right. Jen needs ti grow up and get over it, w hy does she keep gettin gdumped? No one likes a loser who cannot get over thier past,& its not like anyone that has not been under a rcok for 7 yeras doesnt know what happnd. GROW UP JEN,and take some actnig classes, ur best movie was Office Space as a Hooters waitress at the end, which is where U belong, you whiny loser. Angie and Brad won, you will keep losing until you let it GO.
