Angelina Jolie: I Fell in Love With Brad When He Was Still With Jen

Angelina Jolie reveals she and Brad Pitt fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith - which Pitt filmed while still married to Jennifer Aniston.

"Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love," Jolie, 33, says - referring to wanting her kids to see the flick - in the New York Times.

One sight she's not ready for her six children to see? Racy internet pictures of herself!

Jolie says she worries, "[Maddox will] look up my name and see some kind of sexy pictures, or read a story about himself that isn't true.

"There's a lot we're going to have to explain to them about how public their family is," Jolie adds.

For now, the kids look at mom and dad as nerds, Jolie says.

"What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad," she says. "Even video games, you know, it's: 'Mom, you can't play this. You don't know how.'

"Oh, they all think I can't do anything, that I'm just there to snuggle with. But the other day, Madd said, 'Can you do a cartwheel?' and I said, 'Yeah I can.' And he was like, 'Wow, Mom,'" she says.

"And I thought 'Oh, yeah. I can do some things. You wait. You'll find out. I'm capable," Jolie says.

The actress says she picks her movie roles based on her kids' schedules.

She asks herself, "Who's in school at that time? How can I be sure I don't do too many long hours? Can the three youngest be on the set every day?

"As long as I can still be with my family, it's fun. But I only want to do that, and I'm not looking for anything else," she says.

For inspiration, Jolie looks to her own mother, who died in January 2007.

"My mom, she was a very, very soft woman. It was hard for her to yell, or even curse," Jolie says. "But when it came to fighting for her kids, she found a strength she didn't always know she had.

"And there's a part of [Changeling character] Christine that I connected to her," Jolie adds. "I kept pictures of my mom in little purses" that she totes in the movie.

Changeling opens in limited release Oct. 24.

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt had problems for a long time, or he wouldn't have left Jennifer.  But oh well, who cares, water under the bridge, they moved on, and I pretty sure she moved on as well.  Divorce is divorce, Hollywood style or not.

Sometimes things happen for a reason. I am sure if it wasnt Angelina it would have been someone else. Obviously it was over if his heart was open to fall in love with someone else. At least he broke up and got divorced instead of having a affair and hiding the whole thing. Who are we to judge what others do? At least they are happy and appear to be good parents. Jen will find someone someday but I think that she should stay away from John Mayer that guy is bad news!

You can't call Angelina a homewrecker.  Brad is the homewrecker.  HE took the vows and HE allowed himself to fall in love/lust with another woman.  Angelina was a single woman, she like many "homewreckers" only know what they are told.  For all we know Brad could of told her the marriage had been dead for years and he hadn't had time to file or was waiting on Jen to file, etc... I still think Brad is hot, but he is a weak man.

I just heard she went out with him and celebrated his birthday with him...ok, there is Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor and John Mayer...and I am sure some in between.  She can't even hold on to these three dirt bags...what's going on with her, I think Brad was on to something.  I love her movies though, she is funny!

I'm sure she still has a lot of unresolved issues from her divorce.  Trust, abandonement issues would probably be two big ones.  Then again maybe she's afraid to commit herself.

Honestly if I was married to Brad and he left me for Angelina I'd have issues to. Especially that its all over the papers. I think Jen is scared, I don't blame her. With that said I like all parties involved.
Angie may be just admitting this, but we all already knew!

I never liked Angelina Jolie!  She is just plain weird!  And Brad Pitt is an idiot for leaving Jennifer...so I think Brangelina deserve eachother.  I just wish Jennifer would find someone permanent already...

All marriages have problems. Some get worked out and some don't but it doesn't help when someone is willing to date you even though they know you are married. No matter if your marriage is not working out I think that not just a hOllywood problem this is a society as a whole problem. You should not fall in love wiht a married man or woman. Let the married person get a divorce first and then by all minds go for it. I really don't care but let the divorce process happen first.
