Angelina: 'Shiloh Wants to Be a Boy'2010-06-29
"No, I'm not pregnant," states Angelina Jolie in the August issue of Vanity Fair.
immediately shooting down rumors of a seventh child joining her and partner Brad Pitt's already sizeable brood any time soon.
Though Brangelina baby addicts may have to wait patiently, all hope is not lost. Jolie says she and Pitt aren't ruling out a new addition some time in the future. "We're not opposed to it. But we want to make sure we can give everybody special time," says Jolie, adding, "They're kids now, and can play together, but they're going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, like I did with my mom for hours. We want to make sure we don't build a family so big that we don't have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well."
In the interview, Jolie talks openly about her six kids, giving insight into their individual personality and character quirks. We learn that "Mad's a real intellectual, which I can take no credit for genetically. He's great at school, great at history. He feels like he could be a writer or travel the world and learn about places and things." Meanwhile, her daughter Zahara's "got an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken."
Jolie's first biological child, Shiloh, is "hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you'll ever meet." Confessing that she sees more of her young self in her daughter than any of her other kids, the "Salt" star describes the 4-year-old as "Goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer..."
Jolie continues that just like Shiloh, "I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around. But at some point, I got closed off, darker. I don't remember anything happening. I think you just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too much, start to realize the world isn't as you wished it would be, so you deepen. Then, as I had kids and got older -- being goofy, lighter -- it all came back."
The star also confirms that she's not at all bothered by her daughter's current tomboy style, which is inspired by her hero worship of her big brothers Maddox and Pax. Shiloh dresses "like a little dude," notes Jolie. "Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits," Angelina explains. "She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers."
The couple's twins, Knox and Viv, who turn 2 next month, "are classic boy and girl. She's really female. And he's really a little dude."
Despite ongoing tabloid rumors to the contrary, Brangelina sound as solid as ever. Though Angie says she and Pitt are not "against getting married," she insists they're in no rush as they feel like "we already are. Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It's for life."
And as for her partner's grungy gray beard? "I love Brad in every state."
