THEY’RE Hollywood’s hottest couple, but it seems even Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren’t averse to a few problems every now and then.
In a new interview with US Vogue, the 40-year-old actor spoke about the couple’s new film, By The Sea, which looks at a relationship in decline.
“It’s not autobiographical,” Jolie said of the film, which follows a couple who take a holiday to France together in a bid to save their crumbling marriage.

The actor gave hope to us all when she admitted the couple’s marriage is not always perfect.
“Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film,” she said.
“As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones. Just being raw actors. It’s not the safest idea. But life is short.”
The movie, which Joile wrote and directed, was shot on the Maltese island of Gozo soon after the couple married at their French Chateau in August 2014. (The actor describes the film as their “honeymoon”.)

By The Sea marks the first time the two have appeared in a movie together since 2005, when they fell in love on set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Jolie also opened up about having her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in March, two years after a preventive double mastectomy.
“I wish my mom had been able to make those choices,” she said. “They are not easy surgeries. The ovaries are an easy surgery, but the hormone changes — interesting.
“We did joke that I had my Monday edit. Tuesday surgery. Wednesday go into menopause. Thursday come back to edit, a little funky with my steps.”
Jolie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007 at the age of 56 after battling ovarian cancer and breast cancer for eight years.

Jolie also spoke about going through menopause, adding that she’s looking forward to growing older. “I feel grounded as a woman. I know others do too,” she said.
“Both of the women in my family, my mother and my grandmother started dying in their 40s. I’m 40. I can’t wait to hit 50 and know I made it.”
