Angelina: Brad And I Are 'Homebound'

Angelina Jolie is coming clean about her domestic relationship with Brad Pitt and rebutting rumors that they are on the verge of divorce. "We actually don’t go out much," the mother of six tells Parade magazine. "It’s funny. We’re very homebound. We’re very much Mommy and Daddy in our pajamas." The two are still very much in love, and Jolie claims that the longest they go without seeing each other is about three days. "He takes the kids to school; he visits me on set with the kids," she says. "I’m home for dinner, or I’m there for breakfast. We’re together all the time. We plan. Brad and I take time off between films to travel, have big experiences, do things together. That’s how we work it out."

The method actress is known for becoming deeply engrossed in her characters – she famously entered a lesbian relationship while filming Gia – admitted that her thrill-seeking ways were actually made worse by the characters she played. "I went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was. It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life," Jolie says. "I used to cut myself or jump out of airplanes, trying to find something new to push up against because sometimes everything else felt too easy. I was searching for something deeper, something more. I tried everything. I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren’t there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in." –ELENA COX
