Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt made a "private pact" while filming By the Sea, their first film together in 10 years: "We were going to try to be as open and honest and emotive as possible and give to each other as much as we could," Jolie told The Telegraph, "and, succeed or fail, we would just lay it bare." The shoot, a working honeymoon in Malta, wasn't always smooth sailing, Jolie Pitt told the paper, in a candid discussion of the personal and professional work that went into the film. "There were days during filming last year when we were really worried and it was hard," she said. "But," she continued, "at the end we came out of it thinking, 'This was the best honeymoon,' because the film says, 'Whatever you go through, weather the storm and stick together.' " .Jolie Pitt, 40, said the couple thought By the Sea might be a similar filming experience as Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 – "that kind of fun. " "But [we] realized very quickly that it wasn't," she said. "Then we joked that this is what happens after 10 years of marriage." Still, Jolie Pitt was clear that By the Sea, a drama about a marriage on the brink, which she wrote and directed, is not autobiographical."Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn't have made the film," she said."To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple. We have days when we drive each other absolutely mad and want space, but the problems in the movie aren't our specific problems," she said.Directing her husband, 51, for the first time posed its own challenges because Jolie Pitt said she knows the actor so well."These were very sensitive themes and I know Brad's triggers and what he can do and what he is thinking about, so I had to step away and just be very careful in how he was directed," Jolie Pitt said.She said she "tried to give him a safe space and tell him to trust me and I would do my best to protect him in the editing room if he would be as open and give me as much of himself and his emotions and his honesty – and he did." "I think he worked very hard," she said. "The strangest things were the scenes when we were fighting," she said, "and it was so weird trying to tell him to fight with me better." Pitt, for his part, told PEOPLE he has "no desire" to direct his wife: "I'd rather work for her."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt couple up to attend the WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards held at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday night (November 4) in New York City.The 40-year-old actress, who was also joined on the carpet by Robert De Niro, opens up about her marriage to Brad in a new interview.“It was just a nice thing. For me, the big moment was when [we] signed the [joint adoption] papers for Maddox and Zahara,” Angie told the NYT. “That was a decision to parent together, to commit to being a part of each other’s lives for the rest of my life. So [marriage] wasn’t close in comparison. In a way, it was very casual.” She added, “The ceremony was in France, but we had to do things legally in California. One day I was in the edit room, and [Brad] was doing something and an assistant said, ‘You have to sign some papers.’ So we came back and between meetings we were told, ‘Here’s your license.’ Then someone said, ‘The judge is outside.’ We both said, ‘What do you mean, the judge is outside?’ Then the judge came in, this lovely guy, and at some point, Brad said, ‘Shouldn’t we be standing up?’ The judge said, ‘No.’ Then suddenly we realized we were married, in the most unceremonial way possible.” FYI: Angelina is wearing a Tom Ford gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Brad is wearing Zegna.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are opening up about their lives in a rare interview with legendary journalist Tom Brokaw, which aired on The Today Show on Monday morning (November 2).The 40-year-old actress and directer discussed how she used the same doctor to remove her ovaries who previously treated her late mother Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away in 2007.“We had some of the same nurses, some of the same doctors,” Angelina said. “So, the doctor that did my ovary surgery was my mother’s doctor. And apparently my mother had said to her, ‘Promise me you will take Angie’s ovaries out.’ So when we kind of got together, we both had a big cry, and she said, ‘I promised your mother, and I gotta do this.’”During the interview, Brad praised his wife’s bravery and courage.“There was no vanity to my wife’s approach,” Brad said. “It was mature. ‘This is our life and we’re gonna make the best of it.’ There was a strength in that. It was just another one of those things in life that makes you tighter, and she was doing it for the kids, and she was doing it for her family so we could be together.”

Angelina Jolie says she and husband Brad Pitt ''have [their] issues,'' but insists they're nothing like the unhappy couple they play in their upcoming film 'By the Sea'.The 40-year-old actress, who has six children, Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with the 51-year-old star, admits their marriage isn't perfect, but insists they're nothing like the unhappy couple they play in their upcoming film 'By the Sea'.She said: ''Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems, we couldn't have made the film.''This is the only film I've done that is completely based on my own crazy mind. As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones. Just being raw actors. It's not the safest idea. But life is short.''The brunette beauty can't wait to turn 50 in 2025 after undergoing a ''brutal'' preventative double mastectomy as well removing her ovaries and fallopian tubes to reduce her cancer risk in recent years.She told the November issue of Vogue magazine: ''Both of the women in my family, my mother and my grandmother [who passed due to ovarian cancer], started dying in their 40s. I'm 40. I can't wait to hit 50 and know I made it.''The Oscar winner says going public with her health issues ''really connected'' her to other women, but the surgeries were a ''hard'' process.She explained: ''They are not easy surgeries. The ovaries are an easy surgery, but the hormone changes - interesting. We did joke that I had my Monday edit. Tuesday surgery. Wednesday go into menopause. Thursday come back to edit, a little funky with my steps.''

Angelina Jolie Warns Brad Pitt: “Stay Away” From Sienna Miller?

Angelina Jolie did NOT forbid Brad Pitt from visiting the set of his movie The Lost City of Z because she’s convinced he’s “infatuated” with Sienna Miller, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can correct this story. We’re told it “never happened.”Pitt is producing the upcoming adventure movie, which co-stars Miller, Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam. According to In Touch, Pitt recently told his wife that he planned to visit the set of his film in Northern Ireland, but Jolie, who is allegedly “consumed by jealousy,” refused to let him go. A so-called “source” tells the tabloid, “Angie told him flat out, ‘You’re not going.'” The magazine’s supposed “insider” also claims, “She’s heard Brad bring up Sienna’s name almost every day since the film went into production in August… Sienna really gets under [Jolie’s] skin.”The tabloid’s seemingly phony source further alleges an “explosive fight” broke out between the married couple. “Brad told her to let him do his job as a producer, and Angelina yelled that she didn’t want him near Sienna,” the questionable “insider” alleges, adding, “They barely talked for the next day.”Gossip Cop has repeatedly busted In Touch for stirring up nonexistent marital woes between Jolie and Pitt. We previously corrected the tabloid when it wrongly reported Jolie “flew into a violent rage” after catching Pitt looking at sexy Internet photos of one of his female co-stars. And very recently, Gossip Cop called out the magazine for publishing a fake story about Jolie supposedly catching Pitt naked with another woman.Regardless of the tabloid’s very poor track record when it comes to reporting on the couple, Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to Pitt and Jolie, who tells us that the alleged Sienna Miller saga simply “never happened.”
