Angelina Jolie
has gone public about the start of her relationship with
actor Brad Pitt, saying she never wanted to ruin his
marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston—but she
also has no plans to marry him.
Jolie, 31, said
the two stars realized while working together on the film
Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003 and 2004 that they
shared a "deep, emotional bond," although Aniston was
clearly Pitt's best friend.
"I think we were
both the last two people who were looking for a
relationship," she told Vogue in an interview
in the magazine's January issue.
"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."
Jolie said that
after shooting the movie she remained "very, very good
friends" with Pitt. She did not comment further on the
nature of their relationship.
Pitt, 42, and
Aniston, 37, broke up in early 2005.
"And then life
developed in a way where we could be together and
where it felt like something we would do, we should do," she
said.
Jolie said she
does not plan to marry Pitt but that they are committed to
raising their three children.
Jolie adopted her
son, Maddox, from Cambodia in 2002, during her marriage
to actor Billy Bob Thornton, and a daughter, Zahara, from
Ethiopia in 2005. This year she gave birth to a
daughter, Shiloh, with Pitt.
"We've both been
married before, so it's not marriage that 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," said Jolie, whose new film The
Good Shepherd is being released this month.
The actress, who
is currently working on the film A Mighty Heart,
portraying the wife of murdered U.S. journalist Daniel
Pearl, admitted she once lived life too close to the
edge. But she said all that changed once she had children.
"I'm committed to
life. I think definitely, before my son, I was a
little nihilistic," said Jolie. "I'm starting to be able to
see being 50 years old with the kids graduating from
high school." (Reuters)
