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.”

But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this (film) is very much her, her story. She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength for knowing what was right.”

I found myself sitting with people and wanting them to know about this extraordinary woman.”
