Brad Pitt on love for Jolie and their ‘extraordinary’ time together

"Any love involves a loss," and that is the risk Brad Pitt says he is feeling in his life being with Angelina Jolie and their children.

The actor shared this realization as he discussed his latest film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” in an interview with the L.A. Times. The film was released on Christmas day.

Pitt spoke of the love story in the film between his character and the one played by Cate Blanchett. In the movie, Pitt portrays Button, a man who ages backwards and falls in love with Blanchett’s Daisy Fuller.

Using the film's love story, he talks about his own real love towards his partner Angelina Jolie and their six children.


"It's a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that's the risk you take," Pitt said. "And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I'm with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary."

In the interview Pitt also expressed how naturally the direction toward fatherhood went along with Jolie.

"I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably got away with more than I should. And it kind of ran its course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end. [Fatherhood is] the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction," he said, according to the Times.
