Angelina Opens Up About Brad

In an interview with Vogue, Angelina finally speaks up about her relationship with Brad Pitt and how it all began.

"Brad was a huge surprise to me," she says of their 2003 meeting during preproduction on what would become the blockbuster spy picture. "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."

She goes on to say that they remained "very, very good friends" after they wrapped up shooting for Mr. and Mrs. Smith. She admits that they became close while filming, but doesn't mention whether or not they acted upon those feelings while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

"I didn't know much exactly about where Brad was in his personal life. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loves and respects. And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives."

Angelina goes on to explain how their friendship progressed after they had stopped working with each other every day.

"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," she says of her relationship with the Hollywood heartthrob. "And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration."

After Brad and Jen's marriage fell apart, Angelina said things just came together,

"And then life developed in a way where we could be together," she continues, "where it felt like something we would do, we should do."

I really like how she's trying to be very diplomatic in saying that life "developed in a way where we could be together" - as if it just happened and Brad didn't make a conscious decision to end his marriage in order to pursue a relationship with Angelina.

She says they have no plans to get married. They are tied by "their" children - not each other. Intersting way of looking at things, right? Either way, I think they make a good couple and hope that it lasts.
