Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the Beowulf premiere


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made an appearance at the premiere of Angelina’s new CGI epic, Beowulf, last night. Angelina plays an evil seductress through a realistic-looking avatar that appears semi-nude in one scene emerging from a pool. (link NSFW) Her body was mapped for the film, and she says that the results were so true to life that she felt “exposed” and had to explain to Brad that the movie was a bit racy:

Angelina said, “I was really surprised that I felt exposed. There are certain moments where I actually felt shy – and called home, just to explain that the fun movie I had done that was a digital animation was, in fact, a little different than we expected.

“I didn’t expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn’t expect it to feel as real, so it was kind of funny at first.”

Angelina, who was pregnant with her daughter Shiloh when she worked on ‘Beowulf,’ admits her baby bump caused some problems for the animators.

She told People magazine, “I was three months pregnant for some of it. You wouldn’t know though. We did the mapping of my body before and they worked wonders. It was a pleasure.”

Angelina is said to have been snippy at the press conference for Beowulf where she made that statement. A journalist asked her about the competing covers of W Magazine that pitted her against her partner’s ex, Jennifer Aniston. She shot back “Why would I comment on that?” and said “That matters because….”

It doesn’t sound to me like she’s being pissy so much as refusing to continue a feud that is dragged out for the sake of selling gossip rags. It seems like Angelina has learned after repeatedly getting flogged by the media that there’s no possibility of answering that question in a way won’t be turned around and used to fuel fake and speculative stories. It’s never too late to STFU, so good for her.

Angelina’s brother, James Haven, didn’t quite get the memo yet, though. He was talking about how he’s great buddies with Brad, and hopes that he will cast him in one of his movies. He also says his sister isn’t too thin and that she hopes to have kids again soon.

When asked if Jolie, 32, and Brad Pitt, were planning for more kids, her brother James Haven told reporters: “I would assume yes. I’ve even been like, ‘So, when are you going to….'”

Pitt, 43, also showed up at the premiere and gave Jolie a peck on the cheek; she appeared smitten.

So how do the couple of more than two years keep the spark alive?

“They just work off each other well,” Haven, 34, said. “I just think there’s a certain energy to it.”

Haven told Usmagazine.com he has even bonded “amazingly” with Pitt.

“We get along great,” Haven said, “We talk about movies, we talk about bikes … kids obviously are a major topic, so it’s great. You know, I’m looking forward one day to maybe working with him.”

Though Jolie appeared relatively skinny in her dress, Haven brushed off any concerns for her health. “I know she’s fine … I know she’s fine,” he said.

He didn’t talk smack about their dad or reveal too much, so I guess you can’t fault him for answering the questions that were posed to him.
