         ... and how Zahara cringes at his steamy kisses with Angelina.Their chemistry in 2005's Mr and Mrs Smith was sizzling enough to drive huge crowds to the box office, and - of course - to build a long-term relationship.And a friend of Brad Pitt's has sensationally revealed in a new authorised interview with Esquire that Brad has placed a self-imposed ban on filming sex  scenes with other women out of respect for Angelina Jolie.So that means his steamy scenes all now take place at home, which makes his eldest daughter Zahara, eight, cringe... he revealed to the magazine.The June/July issue of Esquire magazine - conducted before Jolie went public about her double mastectomy - finds the 49-year-old World War Z actor talking fondly about his eldest daughter frowning upon his 'make out sessions' with Jolie, 37.'Once I walked in and Angie was standing there and Zahara walked up and said, "Daddy, you're not going to start making out with Mommy again, are you?" And it's like that,' he told the interviewer with a laugh.And Frank Pollaro, a close friend of Brad's, explained to the magazine that the legendary hearthrob tries to avoid sexy scenes in his movies because he's so crazy about Jolie.Pollaro said: 'This is a guy who has tried not to do any sexy scenes with other women since he's met Angelina. He's crazy about her, and she's the same way about him.'Of course, he was married to Jennifer Aniston when the chemistry with Jolie on set started to bubble over into real life, Jolie has admitted 'they fell in love' on the film.So there are many good reasons for Brad to carefully chose his roles, and leading ladies now.'No matter how hard he's working, if one of those kids runs by the window he'll get out of his chair and give them a kiss. And I don't think I've ever seen Angie without one of those children in her arms.'
            And Pitt himself admits he's the happiest when he's surrounded by his partner of eight years, Jolie, 37, and their six children - Maddox, 11, Pax, 9, Zahara, 8, Shiloh, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 4.'I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven’t known life to be any happier,’ he tells magazine.‘I’m making things. I just haven’t known life to be any happier.’Brad graces the cover of the publication, and can be seen looking as hunky as ever in a black top and wrinkled jeans, with aviator sunglasses covering his face.The star’s trademark long golden hair flops around his shoulder as he casually grips a camera in one hand.Brad also gushes about his six children with Angelina in the sweet interview.And although there is never a quiet moment in the Jolie-Pitt household, Brad says he wouldn’t change it for the world and misses his brood when they’re not there.‘I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big,’ he explained. ‘I wanted there to be chaos in the house… there’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging.‘I love it. I love it. I love it. I hate it when they’re gone. I hate it. Maybe it’s nice to be in a hotel room for a day – “Oh, nice, I can finally read  a paper.” But then, by the next day, I miss that cacophony, all that life.’At 49, the Moneyball star has settled into family life but he revealed he used to be concerned at his inability to stick to anything.‘I’d get so far and then want to do something else,’ he admitted. ‘I mean, I’m two credits short of graduating college . Two credits. All I had to do was write a paper.‘What kind of guy is that? That guy scares me – the guy who always leaves a little on his plate.’Brad, who is currently promoting his latest movie World War Z, believed his recreational drug use did some ‘damage’, he confessed.‘For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage,’ he said. ‘I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired. I followed that other thing. I spent years f***ing off.
            ‘But then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity. It was a conscious change. This was about a decade ago. It was an epiphany – a decision not to squander my opportunities. It was a feeling of get up. Because otherwise, what’s the point?’ Brad praised Angelina as ‘heroic’ after she published a piece in the New York Times revealing she had undergone the double mastectomy on Tuesday.'We set up our own little post-op recovery that became pretty fun. You make an adventure out of it,' he later told USA Today.'I'm quite emotional about it, of course,' Brad said. 'She could have stayed absolutely private about it and I don't think anyone would have been none the wiser with such good results.'But it was really important to her to share the story and that others would understand it doesn't have to be a scary thing. In fact, it can be an empowering thing, and something that makes you stronger and us stronger.'

Angelina Jolie's dad Jon Voight pours fuel on vicious family feud with daughter as he insults her political view

         Angelina Jolie's father has poured fuel on the fire of their family feud - marking a return to hostilities after tensions appeared to have cooled off.Jon Voight, 85, claimed his daughter's views on the Israel-Hamas war have been 'influenced by anti-Semitic people' during a fiery interview with Variety.'She has been exposed to propaganda,' right-wing pro-Israel firebrand Voight said.  'She's been influenced by anti-Semitic people.'Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she's enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.' Although the father-daughter duo have had moments of reconciliation throughout their strained relationship, they have also experienced many turbulent moments that have led to them becoming estranged.But Voight's latest incendiary comment came less than a month after he said he was 'proud' of Jolie and his granddaughter Vivienne after they stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards with their remarkable victory. The mother-daughter duo produced the musical The Outsiders, which won four trophies, including the top honor of Best Musical. 'I'm very proud of Vivienne,' Oscar winner Voight, 85, told TMZ afterward. 'I'm really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.'Angelina, 49, and her ex Brad Pitt, 60, share six children together: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15. 'I'm sure Angie contributed with the actors and Angie's a great director,' Voight continued to gush over the Maleficent star.Earlier this year, Pitt experienced an 'awkward run-in' with his former in-laws while attending a small gallery exhibition in Beverly Hills amid his divorce from Jolie.While on a date night with his new girlfriend Ines de Ramon, the two-time Oscar winner, 60, bumped into his ex-wife's father, Jon Voight, and older brother James Haven.The chance encounter occurred as they browsed through the Gagosian Gallery for an exhibition by his Moneyball director, Bennett Miller.
         Showbiz411 was first to break the news as the outlet shared: 'Pitt and Voight actually hugged and spoke to each other.'An eyewitness told The Sun: 'Plenty of people noticed how awkward it was that Brad was in the same room as Ange's family, and it's not a big space.'Voight's relationship with his own daughter has arguably been even less cordial.
They were in contact briefly during the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, but Jolie reportedly severed ties again with her famous father in the early 2000s.'We don't really speak that much anymore,' the Changeling star told Vogue in 2002, shortly after starring in the Lara Croft film. And Voight's Variety comment wasn't the first time he has openly slammed Jolie's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. In the aftermath of October 7, Voight slammed Jolie for her anti-Israel posts, branding them as 'lies' and saying 'the Israeli army must protect thy soil.''I am very disappointed that my daughter, like so many, has no understanding of God's honor, God's truths,' he said in an Instagram video posted early November.Jolie is formerly a special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees.She accused Israel of 'deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid' in violation of the international law.In response, Voight said he was 'disappointed' that his daughter did not understand that Hamas' objective was 'to annihilate the land of the Jews.''This is about destroying the history of God's land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews, This is justice for God's children of the holy land,' Voight continued.'The Israeli army must protect thy soil, thy people. This is war. It's not going to be what the left thinks, it can't be civil now.'Israel was attacked by inhuman terror on innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents,' Voight noted.'You fools call Israel the problem, you should look at yourself and ask who am I? What am I? And ask God if am I learning the truth, or am I being lied to and following everyone else? The ones who understand truth see the lie.'
         'These animals want to wipe out Jews, Christians,' he went on. 'They see that th Palestinians have not been neglected of finance. They have been given huge infusions of money, that they didn't share with the people. They made weapons instead, for their rage.'The people of Israel care for people. They love and cherish. Something these animals don't understand. Justice will prevail.'Voight called for Jolie to reassess her opinion on Israel's role in the war: 'Hamas and this deceit of their ruling is destroying their own people,' he added.He also hailed the 'great heroism' of Jewish people in the face of a series of tragedies throughout history, from the Holocaust to the recent 'Hamas Holocaust.

         Hollywood star Brad Pitt is ready to bid big to buy a topless photograph of his partner, Angelina Jolie. The couple, dubbed Brangelina and rated one of Hollywood's most glamorous and influential pairs, will face competition for the photograph when it goes under the hammer, in London, next month.The photograph was taken by David LaChapelle and is admittedly a very racy image. It shows the then 25-year-old actress playing with a white horse and displaying her array of tattoos. She is seen with her eyes closed and her head thrown back, as the horse nuzzles her breasts. According to The National Enquirer, the 49-year-old actor "doesn't want anyone else to see Angelina Jolie horsing around." "Brad is prepared to pay whatever it takes to get the photo," a source said, "Brad finds the photo of free-spirited Angie very sexy, although he's not wild about the (Billy Bob Thornton; Angelina Jolie's former husband) tattoo on her shoulder."The photo, which will go under the hammer as part of the Wild Side of Photography sale at auction house Christie's, is expected to fetch between £25,000 and £35,000."Brad wants to keep the photo for himself but he's also out to protect Angelina's new image as an A-list actress, doting mother and United Nations human rights crusader," the insider added.Also included in the collection is a black and white photograph of the couple posing as husband and wife for Steven Klein in 2005. The image, which appeared in W magazine, was taken before the two were officially an item and is expected to raise between £8,000 and £12,000.The Mr & Mrs Smith stars have been together since 2005 and were engaged last year in April.

Angelina Jolie's dad Jon Voight pleads for Brad Pitt to end 'nonsense' divorce battle for sake of 'kids' stability'

          Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight has pleaded for her ex Brad Pitt to end their 'nonsense' eight year divorce battle for their children's sake.Voight, 85, who last month slammed Jolie's political views, told Fox News Digital that he wished pair could 'find a way to make peace' - just days after Pitt's daughter Shiloh officially dropped his surname.He said: 'You know, I think the kids need some stability. I love the kids, and I love my daughter. And I want Brad to step up to do, you know, what he has to do. End this nonsense. He added that he  'doesn't talk to his grandchildren as much as [he'd] like.'Pitt and Jolie share six children - and split in 2016 - yet their divorce - including a contentious battle over a vineyard - has kept their split drama rumbling on. A source close to Pitt told Page Six that the famed Chateau Miraval suit protects the Hollywood star’s six children.They said: 'It’s important that people realize that Brad’s motivation is to ensure that his kids can maximize the benefit of this asset.'Once it was sold, that’s no longer the case and it significantly decreased their inheritance.In July Voight claimed his daughter's views on the Israel-Hamas war have been 'influenced by anti-Semitic people' during a fiery interview with Variety.'She has been exposed to propaganda,' right-wing pro-Israel firebrand Voight said.  'She's been influenced by anti-Semitic people.'Angie has a connection to the U.N., and she's enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.' Although the father-daughter duo have had moments of reconciliation throughout their strained relationship, they have also experienced many turbulent moments that have led to them becoming estranged.But Voight's latest incendiary comment came less than a month after he said he was 'proud' of Jolie and his granddaughter Vivienne after they stole the spotlight at the 2024 Tony Awards with their remarkable victory. The mother-daughter duo produced the musical The Outsiders, which won four trophies, including the top honor of Best Musical. 'I'm very proud of Vivienne,' Oscar winner Voight, 85, told TMZ afterward. 'I'm really proud of Angie because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.'  Shiloh, who hired and paid for her own lawyer when she filed to drop the Pitt name on her 18th birthday in May, filed to change her name from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.
          TMZ reports there was no formal hearing for the name change - with the petition granted on Monday, per official court documents.Last month Shiloh took out a newspaper ad marking the name change - which  is a standard step before the court would approve a name change.The notice also stated anyone who had objections to the petition should show up in court.A source close to the matter told Dailymail.com last month: ‘Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn’t know and can’t speak for it. 'But, if you’re asking if this is connected to the abuse history or the violation of Shiloh’s victims rights, yes, that’s part of it.’The revelation that Shiloh paid herself suggests that the ugly spat between former couple Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 48, may still rumble on in the form of legal action from the six children the couple once shared. There have been long custody battles which ended eventually in a victory for Pitt, who got 50-50 custody in 2021 only to have it overturned on appeal.He’s had a judge intervene to tell Angelina she mustn’t listen in on his mobile phone calls with the children. The judge has also ordered ‘reunification therapy’ for Pitt and the kids.The actor set up a skate park in his home for Shiloh, and more recently an art studio to reflect their common interest in art.He’s sent cars and security to ferry the children from her home to his whenever there is an allotted custody visit. Sadly, none of it has brought them closer.In fact son Pax said in an Instagram post in 2016 that all four of the youngest children – that’s including Shiloh – ‘tremble with fear in his presence.’ The two elder ones were at that point already declining point blank to see him.The current situation has seen the children - Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh 18, and Knox and Vivienne, 16 - form a tight gang of seven with his former wife.A central issue seems to be a notorious private jet confrontation in 2016.An FBI report on the incident, which was published in 2022, saw Jolie accuse Pitt of physical assault while flying to California in 2016. She claimed that he was intoxicated and that he grabbed her by the head and shook her, and later pushed her down, as part of a confrontation allegedly related to their children.
          Jolie told the FBI that Pitt told the children that she was 'f***ing up this family,' and she said he punched the ceiling of the airplane four times. She claimed that at one point he poured beer on her and a blanket she was under with multiple children. Source close to Pitt later claimed that he never hit any of the children, though they admitted that he had been drinking. This comes amid recent claims that Pitt and Jolie's divorce - which has now dragged on for eight years - is still ongoing as neither of the stars can 'let it go.A source told People 'their disagreements took over' in the relationship, adding that things 'turned nasty and it was not a good situation for anyone.''All the bitterness is partly why the divorce has dragged on for so many years. Neither will let it go. You’d think they would be over it and just settle.' A separate insider said: 'Both of them were having issues with each other. The differences added up over time. It's really sad for the children, but also the parents. Divorce, especially one so high-profile, can be challenging for the whole family.'They both care. They both care about the children.'Pitt and Jolie began dating publicly shortly after he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston announced their divorce in 2005.The Mr. And Mrs. Smith costars remained unmarried for years despite having multiple adopted and biological children together, but they got engaged in 2012 and finally tied the knot in 2014.However, it was only around two years later when the Maleficent actress filed for divorce in 2016. She and Pitt were declared legally single in 2019.Pitt is now dating Ines de Ramon, 35.

Jon Voight says he would 'love' to be cast in an Angelina Jolie film: 'She would be tough'

               Don't expect Jon Voight to retire anytime soon — he's waiting for the perfect role in an Angelina Jolie film. The 82-year-old Academy Award-winner opened up to Ben Mankiewicz on CBS Sunday Morning, reflecting on his film career, his political views and a dream partnership with daughter Jolie, 45. "You have to be proud that your daughter followed in your footsteps and is so good at this, not just as an actor but as a writer, director, too," said Mankiewicz. In addition to scoring a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the 1999 film Girl, Interrupted, Jolie has directed six films including First They Killed My Father (2017) and In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011). "Yeah, she's really remarkable," answered Voight. "She's got her own thing, man. She's got her own way of dealing with things, you know? She's very clear." As to whether Voight has interest in acting under Jolie's direction, he laughed. "She would be tough! But yes, of course, I would love to work with her." A hypothetical partnership would follow their acting collaboration in the 2001 film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. However, the relationship between Voight and Jolie has wavered — last year in a written New York Times article, the actress remembered her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007, while noting her troubled marriage. "When my father had an affair, it changed her life," wrote Jolie. "It set her dream of family life ablaze. But she still loved being a mother. Her dreams of being an actor faded as she found herself, at the age of 26, raising two children with a famous ex who would cast a long shadow on her life. After she died, I found a video of her acting in a short film. She was good. It was all possible for her." Jolie and Voight were also estranged for a long time— the actress was a toddler when her parents split and communication with her father was inconsistent during adulthood. In 2002, Jolie legally changed her name to omit "Voight" amid claims that Jolie did not allow Voight to see his grandson Maddox. According to Entertainment Weekly, Jolie responded by stating: ”I don’t want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father…. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child.”.However, in 2010, Jolie's then-husband Brad Pitt encouraged a reconciliation that sparked a new relationship. “He’s been very good at understanding they needed their grandfather at this time,” Jolie told Vanity Fair of her father in 2017. “I had to do a therapy meeting last night and he was just around. He knows kind of the rule—don’t make them play with you. Just be a cool grandpa who’s creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library.”  In the CBS interview, Voight, a fierce supporter of former President Donald Trump also defended his personal politics, which he shares on social media and through professional projects. Voight's latest film Roe V. Wade, about the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion, has been criticized as propaganda with "poor production." "I'm a conservative, as you know, and I'm not so happy with government involvement in anything," said Voight. "I'm very concerned about our country. I'm very concerned about this attack on free speech. I don't like it that we can't sit down and talk about everything. We're all unique. There's no one that's different or better or whatever it is. We all are unique."
