It’s been about 10 years since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have shared the big screen together. While the filming their new movie By the Sea was a bit of a ‘honeymoon’ for the couple, the actress also admits that their marriage isn’t perfect.
Speaking in a recent interview with Vogue magazine, she talked about working with Pitt again and posed with her husband and their six children.
By the Sea is a lot more dramatic then Jolie and Pitt’s 2007 romantic comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Set in France during the mid-1970s, the film follows former dancer Vanessa (Jolie) and her husband Roland (Pitt), an American writer, as they travel the countryside together. The couple seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in a quiet seaside town, they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants.
Jolie, 40, directed and wrote the screenplay, but insists that it’s 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 told the publication. Jolie says she and Pitt referred to the script as the ‘crazy one’ for years.
“As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones,” she said of the emotional movie. “Just being raw actors. It’s not the safest idea. But life is short.”
In August 2014, the A-list couple were married and almost immediately jetted off with their children to to the Mediterranean island of Gozo, near Malta, to begin shooting scenes for the movie. Jolie says this was their ‘honeymoon.’
