Brad Pitt: I didn’t cheat on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie

Actor says he wasn't unfaithful to his ex

Brad Pitt insists he did not have an affair with Angelina Jolie while married to Jennifer Aniston.

He says their romance blossomed on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004, after his relationship with Jen, 39, was over.

‘What people don't understand is that we filmed for a year,’ he says. ‘We were still filming after Jen and I split up.

'Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't.

'I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful.’
In November, Jen branded Angelina, 33, ‘uncool’ for discussing the moment she fell for Brad.

But Brad, 45, reckons her remarks were taken out of context.
‘Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one,’ he tells W magazine.

‘We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers.'

‘Angie and I do not fight anymore,’ he tells Rolling Stone.

‘What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother [Marcheline Bertrand in 2007], is that there's going to come a time when I'm not going to get to be with this person anymore.

'And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now. I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love.’

In the movie, Brad plays a man who was born an octogenarian and looks younger as he gets older.

Brad Pitt's old excitement

Brad Pitt can't wait to get old.

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' star - who turns 45 on December 18 - is looking forward to ageing because he thinks older people are more intelligent.

He said: "I like the wisdom that comes with age. I wouldn't trade it for youth any day."

In the new movie, Brad plays a man who is born elderly and ages backwards. The actor revealed he enjoyed the challenge of playing an old man, but hated the length of time it took to get ready.

He said: "My mornings started very early - getting up at 3am and sitting in the chair for four or five hours."

George wasn't the only Hollywood star Brad praised - he also had kind words for Tom Cruise, his co-star on 1994 movie 'Interview with the Vampire'.Brad said: "Of course I'd work with Tom again. He's a friend of mine. He's a strong one, that guy. I loved what he did in 'Tropic Thunder'. The ending is hilarious."

Brad, who sports a moustache in upcoming war movie 'Inglourious Basterds' and recently said he wants facial hair to be fashionable again, also joked his friend George Clooney was copying his style.

He added to US TV show 'Extra': "George is a handsome dude, what can I tell you? I can't get this guy out of my slipstream. I get a moustache. He gets a moustache."

"He has also taken up deep-trance spirit channeling, trying to commune with ghosts, after watching the documentary 'Tuning In: Spirit Channelers in America'. Angelina is trying to be supportive but is now worried that Brad may become obsessed."

Brad is also said to be keen to explore his hobby in a new movie, but is facing protests from Angelina.

The source added to America's Star magazine: "Brad is looking for a script about channeling, but Angelina is afraid that if he tries to bring it into the mainstream, people will really think he's gone off the deep end."

Beijing (ANI): Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt has apparently become very concerned about his partner Angelina Jolie's health after she broke down in tears at a recent press conference in London.

According to the National Enquirer, Pitt is worried that Jolie is heading for ''a complete meltdown'', fearing that she’ll ''crash and burn'' due to stress. "Brad is scared to death that she's going to crash and burn," China View quoted an insider as saying.

"Angelina is usually super-organized but in the past two weeks, she has lost it. She's stressed, unorganized and more forgetful," the insider added. It is believed that 'Changeling' star's present condition is due to ''months of non-stop travelling, bickering with Jennifer Aniston, and tending to the constant needs of the six kids''.

Brad Pitt's Orleans privacy

Brad Pitt loves living in New Orleans because it is the only place his "family can have a sense of privacy".

The 44-year-old actor - who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie - can escape the intense interest in his personal life when he goes home to the US city.

He said: "Living in New Orleans means we can all escape to a sense of normalcy, if there's such a thing.

"It's the only place where my family can have a sense of privacy. People there have other things to worry about than all this silliness."

Brad also revealed he decided to star in new movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' - in which he has to wear layers of make-up as well as prosthetic noses and scalps - because he was so keen to work with director David Fincher, who helmed his movies 'Se7en' and 'Fight Club', again.

Recalling the first time he watched a Fincher film, Brad said: "It was after this night of utter debauchery in Mexico in 1992, I watched 'Alien 3'.

"I remember walking out of the theatre thinking, 'OK, that was not what I expected. That wasn't a Hollywood ending'. It really stuck with me."

‘And I ended up falling in love with a man who I think was destined to have children and suddenly one day it felt right and there it was.’

The couple have six children, including Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2, and four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline.

Jennifer Aniston Hits Back At Angelina Jolie Over Brad Pitt

The actress speaks out for the first time since Angie's public confession...

Jennifer Aniston has spoken out for the first time about Angelina Jolie's admission that she effectively stole her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

The Friends actress – who is constantly faced with stories and images of Brangelina and their growing brood – has struggled to find her perfect prince since splitting with Brad in 2005.

And since Angelina very publicly declared that her romance with Brad began on set of Mr & Mrs Smith when he was still married to Jen, the actress has struggled to find the right words to say – until now.

Jen told US Vogue, “What Angelina did was very uncool.”

A source close to Jen also told The Sun, “This interview shows that Jennifer is no longer afraid of Angelina. It's hugely significant.

“She's never been this honest or brave before.”

Angelina reportedly contacted Jen recently to reconcile in the wake of her careless confession.
