Angelina Jolie covers the November 2008 issue of W magazine in a black-and-white shot taken by long-time partner Brad Pitt, which shows the starlet breastfeeding one of her newborn babies.
The fashion magazine features a series of intimate photos taken in the garden of the French château the couple rented over the summer, following the birth of their twins Viviennne and Knox.
Inside the magazine, Angelina reveals how falling for Brad changed her mind about having biological children. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
Angelina Jolie on Brad changing her mind about giving birth to her own children:
“I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do… I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant). I suddenly wanted to. It’s one of those things you can’t explain.”Angelina Jolie on Brad seeing adopted children Maddox and Zahara:
“I knew that he would never see them as different, and that gave me a certain peace.”Angelina Jolie on having three children with Brad:
“I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. It taught me a lot about life, just the process of it, and now we have three other beautiful children that wouldn’t otherwise be here.”Angelina Jolie on baring her body for the intimate W pics taken by Brad just weeks after the twins’ birth:
“I’m with a man who’s evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful, because of the journey it has taken and what it has created. He genuinely sees it that way. So I genuinely feel even sexier.”Angelina Jolie on Brad being perfect for her:
“[I have] a lot of respect [for Brad. He helps me] to be better and fight hard for the things that I love. I do think that I’m in a good partnership now. I think it just needed to be the right man.”
