Angelina Jolie has opened up on meeting her future partner Brad Pitt for the first time. The actress and actor met on the set of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and she says that they often still talk about how it happened and how they both felt it was destiny that they met at that moment in time:
“Yes, we do talk about that. We look around at our kids. I’m not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate but I don’t walk away from it when something unfolds.”
Angelina also reveals that it doesn’t upset her when she is labelled sexy because it’s always a compliment to her:
“I’m a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it’s not going to upset her.”
Speaking on how they explain why they’re constantly surrounded by the paparazzi, Angelina says that the couple tell the children that people love photos of people who make movies and that there is nothing out of the ordinary when the cameras show up to take photos:
“We just explain to our kids that people like to take pictures of people who make movies. And that’s all it is. It’s not anything special about mommy and daddy – we just happen to make movies.”
Opening up on how she feels about fame, Angelina says that there isn’t any way to hide your private life because there will always be a part of you available to the public:
“I don’t think [actors need a mystique surrounding their private life]. You know the actor. You’ve seen them at award shows, you’ve seen them at premieres dressed up. So whether they share or not, their cover is already blown.”
