Mary-Louise Parker: Brad Pitt Is Smart, Lovely and Gorgeous
“Brad is actually a lovely, smart person, not to mention gorgeous,” the actress gushed about her Assassination of Jesse James co-star to Parade.com.
“People just project so much onto him and Angelina [Jolie] which isn’t true,” Parker said. “I just find it so bizarre. It’s like you’ve never been in the room with this person, much less met them but you’re convinced as to who they are and what they’re morality is.”
The internet, Parker explained, has let people “say whatever they feel like about someone.”

I have to agree with her. People do comment a whole lot about people they have never met but think they know all about. It’s really a sad commentary on what our society has become.

She is absolutely right!

I agree with the two people above me. I can not understand how people can write negative and hateful things about people they have never met and who have done nothing to them. If I don’t like a celebrity I will just scroll by, I don’t feel the need to write something rude. Actors who have worked with Brad and Angelina and that have actually met them always have positive things to say about them.

From People…
There’s no doubt that meeting Angelina Jolie can be nerve-wracking – but her Wanted costars say the superstar mom is incredibly down-to-earth.
“It’s a little intimidating, someone like her who is presented as a goddess. [But] it takes, like, 30 seconds and you figure out she’s just a cool woman,” Wanted actor Thomas Kretschmann said at the film’s press day Monday.
The German actor, who plays an assassin in the action flick out June 27, also described Jolie as “a cool mommy.”
Kretschmann’s kids and the Jolie-Pitt youngsters “played together from time to time” on set, he said. “She knows exactly what she wants and she’s extremely smart.”
But Jolie isn’t the only “cool” person in her household. Costar Common calls Brad Pitt “a good dude.”
“We hung out and he was a cool cat,” said the rapper-turned-actor.
And Jolie? “She’s an incredible mother, a beautiful mother,” Common said. “She has so much realness to her.”
