The 40-year-old director, who underwent a preventative double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery in February 2013 to reduce her chances of being developing breast cancer as it runs in her family, admits she worried about appearing naked in a bathtub in the new film, in which she also stars alongside husband Brad Pitt, as a result of the procedure.She said: "There were lots of scenes I wanted to change or cut. I realized it was going to be me [naked] in that bathtub. But I told myself, put all of that aside. Like, you can't change or cut this scene because you've had a mastectomy, or because we're married and people are going to analyze this or that. That would be cheating."The Oscar winner also feared the film, which tells the tale of an unhappily married couple, would drive a wedge between her and Brad, 51, as they filmed it on their "honeymoon" in Malta shortly after tying the knot in the South of France in August 2014.She told the New York Times: "A few days into filming I thought: This is such a bad idea. What was I thinking? This is going to destroy us before we've even gotten started. But by the time we got to the end of the film, we'd argued, challenged each other, disappointed each other, had good days, bad days, all of it. We'd pushed through, learned something about each other, found a new working relationship and came to like the idea of 'Yeah, it gets really bad, but you work it out.' "

Angelina Jolie opens up about being referenced in the leaked Sony emails in this new interview.The 40-year-old actress and director “didn’t read any of them,” but was immediately concerned about executive Amy Pascal.“Someone told me. There are certain things that bother me and certain things that don’t,” Angie told NYT. “Personal attacks on me? I think I’m just so used to it. Honestly, my first instinct was that I was worried about Amy. I had someone call her and ask if she was O.K. Not because I’m a saint, but because I think we have to look at the bigger picture. She’s got kids. I knew it was going to unravel for her.” Angelina also threw in her two cents about sexism in Hollywood, saying “Sexism is part of every industry and must be addressed. But I try not to focus on the negative but the positive side of what we can bring. I want to support other women because of the opportunities I’ve had — and I’ve had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and in the meantime bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.”

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt couple up to attend the WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards held at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday night (November 4) in New York City.The 40-year-old actress, who was also joined on the carpet by Robert De Niro, opens up about her marriage to Brad in a new interview.“It was just a nice thing. For me, the big moment was when [we] signed the [joint adoption] papers for Maddox and Zahara,” Angie told the NYT. “That was a decision to parent together, to commit to being a part of each other’s lives for the rest of my life. So [marriage] wasn’t close in comparison. In a way, it was very casual.” She added, “The ceremony was in France, but we had to do things legally in California. One day I was in the edit room, and [Brad] was doing something and an assistant said, ‘You have to sign some papers.’ So we came back and between meetings we were told, ‘Here’s your license.’ Then someone said, ‘The judge is outside.’ We both said, ‘What do you mean, the judge is outside?’ Then the judge came in, this lovely guy, and at some point, Brad said, ‘Shouldn’t we be standing up?’ The judge said, ‘No.’ Then suddenly we realized we were married, in the most unceremonial way possible.” FYI: Angelina is wearing a Tom Ford gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Brad is wearing Zegna.

She made one of the hardest choices a woman could ever make, but each day her struggle is rewarded with more time with the one she loves.A day after opening up about her drastic surgeries to try to stop herself from getting cancer, Angelina Jolie got to enjoy time with three of the reasons behind her decision.The 40-year-old actress was seen with her husband Brad Pitt and their twins Vivienne and Knox in New York on Tuesday.While the Hollywood family have everything at their fingertips, clearly the two stars are trying to foster a love of the simple things in their children.The couple took the seven-year-olds to a local bookstore, so that they could enjoy some traditional unplugged in entertainment.And the two seven-year-old's certainly found a lot to their liking, leaving the store with a bag of books each, and Brad also carried an additional bag perhaps for their other children Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10 and Shiloh, nine.Holding on to Vivienne's hand as she walked into the store, Angelina looked content and at peace despite hers and Brad's emotional interview about her battle to break free from her family's tragic history.As always, the Tomb Raider star looked simply stunning in a long black trench which she wore cinched in at her waist.But as the sun came out, the director opened up up her jacket to reveal she was wearing a V-neck T-shirt tucked into the waist band of a long pencil skirt. The star added a plan black handbag, high heeled ankle boots and a pair of large aviator sunglasses. Brad also showed off his penchant for monochromatic ensembles, wearing washed out black jeans with a matching coat, shirt and even scarf.While leading the way on Tuesday, Brad said it is his wife who is the strongest in their family. In an interview released on Monday by Today, the Fury actor praised his wife and her strength.'There was no vanity to my wife's approach,' the 51-year-old said. 'It was mature.' 'There was a strength in that. It was just another one of those things in life that makes you tighter and she was doing it for the kids, and she was doing it for her family so we could be together.'Angelina had the double mastectomy at the age of 37, after learning that she had an 87 per cent risk of developing breast cancer due to a defective BRCA1 gene. Due to the same anomaly, she had a 50 per cent risk of developing ovarian cancer and decided to get the oophorectomy two years later, which brought upon early menopause.
Angelina's mother, who was also an actress, Marcheline Bertrand, died at the age of 56 in 2007 after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1999. 'We had some of the same nurses, some of the same doctors,' the star told Tom Brokaw. Angelina said her mother, who passed away from cancer, had a secret pact with her surgeon.'So, the doctor that did my ovary surgery was my mother's doctor. And apparently my mother had said to her, "Promise me you will take Angie's ovaries out." So when we kind of got together, we both had a big cry, and she said, "I promised your mother, and I gotta do this."' The actress turned writer-director also discussed in the same interview how her new film By The Sea, which co-stars Brad, was inspired by her grief over losing her mother.'We can't say what the whole film is about, but a lot of the film was when I went to visit my mom in the hospital, when she found out she had cancer the first time, she was gonna have her ovaries removed, (and) she was very upset, feeling like... they're taking out her parts that were female, and there was a woman down the hall who was wailing. 'I later found out it was a young woman who had not had children yet, and that put everything into perspective. 'Every woman is different when they go through menopause, and...I didn't know emotionally how I would feel,' the star admitted. 'I knew the breast would be a bigger surgery and physically changing. The ovaries is more, your hormones changing and your emotions changing, but it's different. You feel different.'
The experience, meanwhile, only strengthened her marriage to Brad. 'She was doing it for the kids,' the actor said proudly of his wife, 'and she was doing it for her family so we could be together.''I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn't something where I was gonna feel less of a woman because my husband wasn't gonna let that happen,' the Salt star explained. 'To face these issues together and speak about them and talk about what it is to be human, I think can be a beautiful thing.'By The Sea will mark the first film the two have collaborated on since Mr. And Mrs, Smith (2005), where the duo fell in love. Angelina said of their new film: 'We were joking... We were saying, like... "See, this is the beginning. And then this is 10 years later. This is what 10 years of marriage will do to you."'The couple, who have six children, married in August 2014 after nine years together, and spent their honeymoon filming new drama By The Sea on the Maltese island of Gozo.However she is quick to point out that the story – about a couple whose marriage is on the brink of collapse – is not based on their own relationship.‘I'm counting on the audience to know that if it was close to us at all, we could never make this film,’ Angelina explained. ‘It's because we're actually very, very stable and these aren't our issues.’A new trailer for the 1970s set drama was released on Friday, but doesn’t give too much away.With no dialogue, the clip still shows plenty of tense moments between the volatile characters, with Roland (Brad) getting aggressive and Vanessa (Angelina) popping pills.By The Sea will be released in the US on November 13 and the UK on December 11..
