Beautiful candids of the Jolie-Pitts in Africa


Just Jared has these beautiful candids of the Jolie-Pitts in Namibia, published in Hello! Magazine. The couple obviously posed for the pictures and most likely gave the proceeds to charity.

The accompanying article covers the recent news you’ve already heard about the couple in a very flattering light. Brad and Angelina didn’t grant an interview or provide any new quotes, and let their “philanthropic adviser” speak for them.

There are some interesting tidbits in the article. One passage about Angelina’s revelation that she needed to make a difference in the world is particularly touching:

It was there in 2002 that Angelina first began sharing her life with Maddox, whom she’d adopted from a Cambodian orphanage during the filming of the first Tomb Raider film. She was in Namibia to shoot another movie, Beyond Borders, when the adoption came through, and it was there that she spent her first night with her then seven-month-old baby – her first night as a mother.

Making Beyond Borders, a film about humanitarian work, had a profound effect on her. “When I read the script it started to change me,” she said at the time. “I was amazed at how much it had changed me and then, in the making of it, how much it meant to me. It just inspired me to start travelling and to educate myself.”

“I wanted to learn more. I sat up one night and felt I should be more responsible about what I was doing with my life and have more purpose. I don’t understand exactly what’s going on unless I’m inside a place.”

It seems that things have come full circle, as Angelina, about to give birth for the first time, will be welcoming her child with Brad in Namibia. And in the meantime, as they happily await the new arrival, the adventure-seeking couple, who have in the past been spotted piloting aircraft and dashing around on his and hers motorbikes, are taking full advantage of their African sojourn.

They may have found some peace in Namibia now that the government is on their side and they’ve deported some pesky photographers. They’re undoubtedly hoping to take some of the heat off by releasing these beautiful pictures.
