Brad Pitt: Filming Movie with Angelina Was ‘Not the Wisest Way to Spend a Honeymoon’

Brad Pitt—who’s old enough to have been an AARP member for an entire year,and yet is still the foxiest dude alive—is on the cover of V Magazine’s Winter 2015/16 issue, channeling another iconic, cinematic hunk: Robert Redford.
Photographed by Inez and Vinoodh and styled by David Vandewal, the shoot sees Pitt (who’s already been compared to Redford his entire career) sporting shaggy hair, aviators, boot cut jeans, and what appear to be stick-on muttonchops. If we hadn’t just spent a full 15 minutes ogling over vintage photos of Robert Redford, we might think Pitt was actually him.
But V’s Pitt piece is more than just pretty pictures. The actor/producer also talks about By The Sea, the upcoming movie he filmed with wife Angelina Jolie—who also directed—on their honeymoon in Malta last summer.

Looking back, says Pitt, “It was probably not the wisest way to spend a honeymoon. But then again, fighting to make something together… what better metaphor for marriage?”
And on starring alongside Jolie for the first time since 2005′s Mrs. & Mrs. Smith, Pitt is elated. “We, by our own admission, were overdue,” he says. “If I’m going to work, I want to work with my wife.” Sweet.
He then goes on to sing his wife’s praises, in a way that only a man who shares a bed every night with Angelina Jolie can: “[It’s] surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife,” he continues. “She’s decisive, incredibly intuitive, knife-sharp, and might I say, sexy at her post. I trust her with my life.”
