Brad Pitt Sticks Up for Angelina Jolie

Posted Wednesday December 10, 2008 6:37 PM GMT

They’re one of the most recognizable couples in all of Hollywood, so it’s no wonder Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie receive all kinds of media attention.

However, when the New York Times made the assertion that the “Changeling” actress was a master at controlling the press, Pitt stepped in for her defense.

The “Fight Club” stud told Rolling Stone, "It sounded to me like the story made Angie out to be manipulative in some way. She is savvy."

He continues, "I get defensive. [They're] talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she's as honorable as anyone I've ever met."
