Given all that she’s accomplished, both personally and professionally, it’s only natural that Angelina Jolie is the honored recipient of WSJ Magazine’s Entertainment/Film Innovator of the Year award. In her cover story for the November 2015 issue, the “Girl,
Interrupted” gal chats about her new movie “By the Sea” in which she
starred alongside husband Brad Pitt as well as served as director- “It
was not easy. We just had to be brave and say, ‘OK, honey, we’re strong
enough to do this; let’s somehow use this to make us stronger.’”
Angelina also noted that her relationship dynamic with Pitt had to
change while they were on the set- “We had to stay in our corners, like
boxers, and not be husband and wife. It was very hard to do those scenes
without Brad and I taking care of each other. Normally in between
takes, you’d make sure that the other’s OK, but we had to be able to
really get ugly.”
