Would you believe it? For Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, love letters keep long-distance relationships intact.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's love letters prove that old-fashioned Hollywood romances still last. Angelina recently gushed at the efforts the Brangelina couple made to ensure they're connected abroad and apart.
The couple is practically separated on both ends of the world for the past few weeks, she directing her new movie "Unbroken," he in filming for his own "Fury." They decided to stay in touch by writing love letters to each other, handwritten love letters to boot.
In an interview with TV Week magazine: "He was supportive from a distance, and it was quite romantic in a way. We decided to be of that time, when we could imagine he was in the European theatre and I was in the Pacific theatre, and we wrote handwritten letters to each other that were very connecting for us, thinking of the people that were separated for months, if not years, at a time back then."
For Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, love letters are hardly passé. On the contrary, Angelina gushed at her growing love for the actor.
Both Angelina and Brad are working on war films, although told from different vantage points. "Unbroken" is a biography of World War II veteran Louis Zamperini, who died of pneumonia at the age of 97. Angelina was able to show Zamperini the finished film before he died.
"I brought him the film on my laptop in the hospital, and it was amazing seeing someone at the end of their life watching their life unfold again, at the same time their body was shutting down."
"He wanted me to make the movie to show something hopeful about the strength of the human spirit that can pull us through. He reminded me to have my surgery in the year that I did, and he reminded me to appreciate every day of my life." (dailymail.co.uk)
It looks like the wartime chronicles, which the couple vicariously experienced, fed the romance in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's love letters.
