He has wealth and possessions beyond his wildest dreams.But that did not stop Angelina Jolie giving Brad Pitt a rare watch said to be worth more than $3 million as a wedding gift.The saucy Maleficent actress bought her man a much coveted 1952 Patek Philippe platinum chronometer, a legendary design by one of the most respected of all Swiss watchmakers.Angelina's romantic gesture became known after she had a friend take it to shop to have it inscribed - 'To Roly from Nessa.' The couple play these characters in drama By The Sea, a movie they are currently filming in Malta, and which the actress is also directing.George Farrugia who runs a jewellery shop on the neighbouring island of Gozo, told The Mirror: 'I did inscribe the watch, it was for Brad and it was a rare one.'Oh yes, it was very valuable.'However the huge value of the watch did not faze the experienced 57-year-old.He said: 'I wasn’t nervous about the inscription because I knew I could do the work perfectly.'Of course, a $3m watch is a mere drop in the ocean for the wealthy A-listers, with Brad being worth an estimated $240m and Angelina not far behind at $145m. The happy couple wed in a lavish ceremony last month, a long awaited wedding as they have been together for nine years since Brad decided to trade in ex-wife Jennifer Aniston for the 39-year-old Tomb Raider favourite.They have been trying to stay out the limelight while filming their latest money-spinning project, though they have taken their massive six child brood bowling in Gozo.With his matinee idol looks fading and facing increased competition from younger heartthrobs, Brad has made the wise decision to take it easy and enjoy more time with his family.He told GQ: 'I’ve been slowing down for a while and transitioning to other things.'

Brad Pitt Talks Marrying Angelina Jolie, Fighting Alongside Shia LaBeouf and Avoiding Twitter

Brad Pitt is not the same person he was 20 years ago.Has being married to Angelina Jolie changed the actor's views regarding commitment? "I wouldn't say [marriage is] just a title," the star says three months after his wedding. "There's more to it than that."And yet, the newlywed doesn't say much more about his bride in excerpts from British GQ's November 2014 issue. Pitt does, however, recall his on-set argument with Fury co-stars Shia LaBeouf and Scott Eastwood in great detail."We were driving down the road, I'm in the turret, Shia is at the other turret, and Scott is on the back, spitting juice. And I'm starting to get pissed off, I'm starting to get hot, because this is our home, he's disrespecting our home, you know? So I said, in the scene with the cameras rolling, 'You're going to clean that s--t up.' Shia clocks it, and you have to understand, we've been through severe boot camp already. We've been through a lot in this tank. Shia saw it and felt the same—he's disrespecting our home," the actor, 50, tells the magazine. "So, Shia had the same reaction I did and started having some words...Then I had to get in after the cameras were rolling and explain it to Scotty, you know."Eastwood, however, was simply doing his job. "The funny thing is, when we got home at the end of the day and read the script, it said Scotty's character is 'chewing tobacco and spitting it on the back of the tank,'" Pitt explains. "He was just doing as instructed in the script! So we were the knobs in the end."On-set tensions aside, Pitt applauds LaBeouf's performance in Fury. "Oh, I love this boy. He's one of the best actors I've ever seen. He's full-on commitment, man. He's living it like no one else, let me tell you," the actor raves. "I've been fortunate to work with a lot of great actors. He's one of the best I've seen."While LaBeouf often uses Twitter to promote his personal and work-related endeavors, Pitt won't follow his lead. "Listen, I see a benefit in it. You could, you know, combat the misconceptions of the misquotes immediately," the actor explains. "And if I'd have had that in my younger days, I'd have used it...because I felt quite used, and completely misunderstood, and misread, and not given the benefit of the doubt."
"You know, I felt that a lot in my first years," the World War Z star adds. "I would have brought some logic to the table, and brought it immediately. But now, at this point, I don't want to bother with it."So, what's next for the movie star?Pitt, who says he's open to doing a TV show, has "been slowing down for a while" and "transitioning to other things." He adds, "I do want to spend more time with my kids before they're grown up and gone." Perhaps that explains why his good friend George Clooney recently called Pitt "unreachable." Asked to comment on the Gravity star's assessment of his character, Pitt responds, "Well, you know, George is extremely accessible. He's one of our best representatives. He's funny as s--t. He's a joy to be around.""I guess maybe I'm more of a miserable bastard," he says with a laugh. "I'm a bit of a loner you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved." But is Pitt happy? "I've always believed happiness is overrated, you know? It's those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it's a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses," he says.

They've been keeping their children entertained while honeymooning and filming in Malta.And come Sunday, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took four of their kids for a fun day out at Lucky Jack's Bar, Grill, and Bowling.The power couple were pictured being escorted out of the venue and into a large white vehicle along with Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.Not present were Maddox, 13, and Pax, 10.It was quite a busy endeavour, with numerous individuals hovering in the same vicinity.Angelina, 39, wore her usual all black outfit, consisting of an oversized tank top paired with loose-fitted trousers and sandals.She carried a large handbag, wore her dark hair swept back in an elegant knot, and shielded her eyes with tortoiseshell sunglasses.Brad, 50, coordinated with his partner in head-to-toe black, though he topped off the look with a mustard yellow fedora.They've been enjoying a lengthy family honeymoon in Malta since tying the knot in a private ceremony in the South of France last month.And there, Brad and Angelina have already begun work on their new film By The Sea, which will see them reunite on screen for the second time.The romantic drama is set in France in the mid-1970s, where ‘Vanessa, a former dancer, and her husband Roland, an American writer, travel the country together,’ according to IMDB.
‘They seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper and a hotel owner.’The film is written, directed, and stars Angelina as Vanessa, while Brad plays Roland.The area is in lockdown after the couple paid local businesses to close up shop to provide them with complete privacy as they start filming.They have also reportedly rented out 12 villas around Mgarr ix-Xini Bay for everyone who is working on the movie, setting them back a cool $230,000.The A-list actors, who met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, are famously hands-on parents and ensured their children took centre stage at their wedding.Angelina let her kids decorate her wedding dress, walking down the aisle in a gorgeous white satin gown and long veil that featured colourful hand-drawn doodles.She told HELLO!: 'I wanted the kids to be a part of everything including the dress because that's our family; that represents the way we live our life together.'The couple eschewed recorded music and instead Angelina entered to Here Comes The Bride hummed by Brad, the children and the 20-odd guests.Sons Maddox and Pax proudly walked their mother down the aisle, while Zahara and Vivienne tossed petals as they lined the path, and Shiloh and Knox acted as joint ring bearers.Brad and Angelina have barely taken a break since the August 23 ceremony on the grounds of their sprawling Château Miraval estate.

The parts of Maleficent we actually enjoyed were when Angelina Jolie went full villain. The rest, not to much. Specifically, we weren't fans of the odd, slapstick pixies whose backstory has been fleshed out in these recently released Maleficent deleted scenes.These deleted scenes are from the soon-to-be released Maleficent DVD (Nov. 4th). What they reveal is more Angelina Jolie in full mischievous fairy mode and the tiny pixies being big creeps. Apparently they sent in random guys from the castle to kiss Sleeping Beauty while she was asleep. Weird.

On Angelina: “Angelina Jolie and I, we're not friends, but when I called her about my human trafficking endeavors, she went all in. And I really appreciated that because there are not a lot of times that you can call upon people in our business and get serious help. She put me in contact with the people I needed to be in contact with, she sent me books, sent me all the information she had. I'm not saying that Angelina and I are, like, girlfriends and kicking it every day, but when you call another woman who's in a position to lend support to you and she just jumps right in there—that's sisterhood.” (...)
