Angelina Jolie Wanted interview with MTV
MTV has a great video interview of Angelina Jolie talking about Wanted. Since she won’t be on the red carpet for the premiere (I just can’t see her flying back to L.A. for it), this is the next best thing.
MTVThe video seems to alternate between being available and unavailable so I don’t know if MTV is having server problems, so you can also read the transcript on the site.
I was already laughing by the first exchange:
MTV: Though the film is called “Wanted,” this is not a story about you and everyone pursuing you — the fans, the paparazzi, et cetera. Correct?
Angelina Jolie: Wouldn’t that be a horror movie? [Laughs.]
At least she has a sense of humor about all the insanity!
Other great highlights include:
MTV: This is your first action flick since “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” I would think it’s a little different rolling around with James McAvoy than with Brad?
Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]
MTV: Do you imagine such physical roles will always be a part of your career?
Jolie: I think there’s always going to be a side of me … you know, as long as I can. Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he’s doing it well. It looks like I’ve got some more time.
MTV: It’s been written by more than one person that there is no one sexier with a gun than Angelina Jolie. How do you take something like that?
Jolie: Wow. I’ll take it. I like it.
MTV: Is there something sexy about gunplay?
Jolie: Yeah, I mean obviously there’s a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously. However, when it comes to protection or when it comes to just the skill of shooting … I’ve gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that. Brad and I both like it a lot. That is something we have in common.
I love when Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie do interviews. Go check it out!

Angie always says what she feels, so you would always know where you stand with her. She is so honest and some would say this is not good. But I like and admire this woman so much.

I do too Mary Ann.
I believe her honesty actually intimidates people that’s why they try to attack her.
She looks so sweet in the video. This is too cute:
“Jolie: Well, you know Brad was … [Laughs.] I’ll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man. You know, in general. [Laughs.]” :D

Sadly, the video won’t play for me, but I read transcript. Thanks, Sherry. Pretty funny interview. In some sites, there’s been some bashing of James McAvoy because some people feel offended that he doesn’t seem to gush about working with Angie. However, the more I see videos of his interviews and read interview articles with him about Wanted, I don’t share that feeling. In fact, I think he’s kind of awed by Angie and Brad, in a good sense. I think it’s just that he’s kind of reserved so he’s not one to go off and ballistic about how exciting it is to work with Angie. Oh well, so much for that. I am so looking forward to seeing this movie, and I hope it opens in the Philippines the same time as in the US later this month.

I like her interview, it shows her humor side & her honesty. The reason why I admire & like her & Brad a lot .
I stopped watching ET Yesterday & in the future.Not unless, of course they have something positive to say about the Jolie-Pitt.
Goodnight. God bless the Jolie-Pitt.

I was lucky enough to see all four parts of the interview. She is very candid and tells you the truth about her life and career. I admire that. She has all good things to say about others including her exes, her Dad. In the end she said she will always get more tattoos because she likes it. Oh boy, that part I am not too crazy about, but I’m old-fashioned. When was this interview?

I love tattoo’s. And i especially love them on Angelina. I am only 22 though so i’m not old-fashioned in the slightest but that’s what i love about Ange…she doesn’t go around playing up on the fact that she’s perceived as the most beautiful woman in the world by alot of people trying to look all sexy and prissy. She just does what she wants and when she wants. Feisty women drive me crazy and Angelina is definately that. It’s not just her exterior that makes her a masterpiece it’s the whole package. Her openess, her generosity, her love, her individuality, her intelligence, her uniqueness, her selflessness, her modesty..the list goes on. I just adore this woman.

The Wanted interviews took place in Cannes. Between KFP & Changeling premieres, photocalls, press conferences, etc., Angie did interviews for Wanted. Boy, I’d love to have even half of her energy.

@ Lucy:
i don´t like tattoos either but i have to say that i think that ANgie is the only woman (IMO) who still looks incredibly gorgeous even if she would have half her body tattoed. and her tattos are extraordinary, nothing usual.
i couldn´t open the vid, but Thanks anyway for posting Sherry! you´re site is the best!

Angelina Jolie Described as “Incredible Mother” by Co-Stars
Atlanta, GA 6/17/2008 03:21 PM GMT (FINDITT)
Angelina Jolie’s ‘Wanted’ co-stars have described her as an “incredible mother.” ‘Wanted’ actor Thomas Kretschmann admits that meeting Jolie is nerve-wracking, but she is “just a cool woman.”
“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” says Kretschmann, who plays an assassin in the film. “She knows exactly what she wants and she’s extremely smart.”
Jolie’s co-star Common adds that the actress is a great mother. “She’s an incredible mother, a beautiful mother. She has so much realness to her,” said the rapper-turned-actor.
‘Wanted’ is due out in theaters June 27. It also stars Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy

Angelina Jolie Records PSA for World Refugee Day
By Pete Norman
Originally posted Wednesday June 18, 2008 08:25 AM EDT
Angelina Jolie has recorded a public service announcement for World Refugee Day on June 20, to help raise awareness about the plight of millions of people at risk.
As emotive scenes of refugees flash on the screen, Jolie – who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency – explains what life is like for millions around the world.
“They have survived war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease,” say the actress (who is expecting twins with Brad Pitt this summer). “For those who have survived and for those who did not, we are thinking of you on this day.”
The clip will begin airing on YouTube, Facebook and on the UNHCR home page Wednesday morning.
The actress and human rights activist is also planning to write an article for a major U.S. newspaper to coincide with Friday’s day of action. (World Refugee Day will be marked by events worldwide: London’s Trafalgar Square is being converted into a replica Darfur village, Rome’s Colosseum will be lit with the refugee agency’s logo, and, in Washington, D.C., Chicago Bulls basketball player Luol Deng will receive the Humanitarian of the Year award.)
Jolie, 33, first became attached to the work of the UN’s refugee agency during a February 2001 visit to war-torn Sierra Leone in west Africa, prior to filming Beyond Borders with Clive Owen.

this is the link that goes directly to the mtv website that I used to go watch the interview. Short and sweet and she sounds that she’s really happy. Loves it! By the way Sherri, thank you so much for moderating this wonderful website. I love going to your site and seeing what kind of new stuff you have on the “royal” family….hehehe…we may not have princesses and queens or kings but we have Brangelina! Love the videos too. Keep up the great work. I certainly appreciate it!

I saw an advance screening of Wanted last night (June 18th) and the movie does not disappoint. There’s plenty of action, even my bf who was a bit skeptical after watching previews, really enjoyed it. It was entertaining and Angelina looks STUNNING as usual, her face is perfection!
