Diane Sawyer interviews Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie, and asks the important questions.
Like - what’s it like to kiss Matt Damon AND Brad Pitt.
Angelina – ever the diplomat – said that the difference is simple.
“You know, one’s a friend, and one’s my love,” she said. (Nicely played, Ang.)
Sawyer then wondered if the love scenes were awkward for Damon (who’s totes BFF with Pitt). “How do you do a love scene with the girlfriend of your good friend, especially if they’re Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?”
“It’s weird…We all know each other…” Damon said.
Jolie added: “In reality both the people we’re involved with couldn’t have cared less about that because they know us. You know, it’s one of those things where it’s like the least threatening person…You know, ‘Good luck to you guys, I hope it’s not too awkward.’”
In the film, Damon plays one of the first CIA spies and Jolie plays his wife who is crushed by her husband’s secrets.
“I think early on when we realized this was going to be the film where I am the weak victim and he is the cruel, cruel, terrifying scary man,” Jolie said.
Damon, 36, said that all the famously independent actress had to do was play her polar opposite. In one scene, Damon said, Jolie has to act “so apologetic and just so unlike Angie.”
Jolie, 31, has two adopted children – one from Cambodia and one from Ethiopia. Sawyer asked why she hasn’t adopted a needy American child.
“Well, I don’t see borders in the world,” Jolie explained. “I mean I work with programs here for all children.”
But Jolie says when she has adopted in the past, she has based her decisions on her emotions. “Well, to be honest, it’s just been, I’ve been led by something emotional…I’ve been moved by the countries.”
Another question following Jolie is when — or whether — she and Pitt will wed. Damon got married while making The Good Shepherd.
Damon, who married live-in girlfriend Luciana Bozan while making the film, said he was surprised how marriage changed their relationship.
“It had more of an impact on me than I thought it would,” Damon said. “We already had the house in Florida and everything, and so I didn’t. … I didn’t think it was going to really change anything necessarily, but it actually did.”
So will Pitt and Jolie ever take the plunge? In the October issue of Esquire, Pitt stood up for gay rights and proclaimed, “Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able.”
“I think he was … he was commenting just on the state of [what] we all wish for,” Jolie explained. “That’s not really a comment on whether or not we would or if we plan to.”

She is opening up because they keep asking her questions about her personal life. If she said “no comment” then you guys will find fault with that too, damn if you do and damn if you don’t…. Love this family!!!!!

Angie is a slut

If she’s a slut because Brad Pitt fell in love with her then most woman are sluts. BTW, Jennifer Aniston slept with Vince Vaughn before she signed the divorce papers. It’s not about who’s a slut, it’s about love. When you’re married but you find your soulmate, as long as you’re emotionally seperated and the marriage was going down the toilet anyway, then who cares? Everyone deserves to find love. Jennifer is insecure, constantly depressed, puts the priority of her work over marriage and having children and I have yet to see her do anything humanitarian. Angie is confident, selfless, doesn’t care what any of us thinks and does more for the world than any actress with money and status, and what’s more is she doesn’t have to. Plus she’s a good mom. Call her a bad person all you want, it’s all about perspective.
