Heck, I’m a straight woman - Angelina Jolie’s on a very short list of gals I’d switch teams for.
She’s my girl-crush. :swoon:
Straight woman here.
Yeah, what they said. For me, what makes her even more beautiful is that she was on the verge of being a total fuckup, seemingly heading downhill fast, and then she completely turned her life around (thankya Maddox) and became a humanitarian and worthwhile human being. So to me, she’s beautiful inside and out. I don’t mind if she does dumbass crap like Wanted (which was fun but stupid) every now and then because it helps finance her good deeds and the ability to appear in smaller more personal movies like A Mighty Heart, which she probably didn’t get paid jack for.
Voight wasn’t always a grizzled old fart, but mainly it’s because her mother is Marcheline Bertrand, who died last year of ovarian cancer. Here she is with Angelina as a child (where it’s obvious that AJ has always had big lips and it’s not something she did for cosmetic purposes). Another one. She was a beautiful woman to the end. Here she is (on the left) holding her own standing next to Jacqueline Bisset. From the same event. It’s pretty likely that Angelina will age well.
She (they) give 1/3 of their income to charity and causes. That’s a LOT of income. I agree…she’s beautiful inside and out. And the ol’ man ain’t bad, either.
On behalf of all men everywhere, your husband is lying.
It is one of the accepted lies, like “I like EVERYTHING on you,” “Dinner is SPECTACULAR,” and “I cut the pieces of apple pie as evenly as I could.”
She’s sexy. She KNOWS it, and she doesn’t flaunt it, it just IS her. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a perfect example. She’s not even trying- she just radiates this cool, this suave, this self-assuredness that you rarely see in a woman, because social conditioning can lead women to see their beauty in terms of what it does to others rather than what it IS on you. She’s be hot in any world.
Angelina Jolie is proof that beauty is objective.
Thanks for the links. I can definitely see Angelina’s resemblance to her mother.
Angelina is frakkin’ gorgeous and sexy and for some reason the most posted name whenever we do an “I’m not gay, but if I were…” thread. I wonder if it’s because, while thoroughly feminine, her face does have larger, stronger features then most women. Of course, men tend to have larger, stronger facial features - which might be why straight women find her so attractive. But somehow it works without making her look like a transvestite.
No, she’s not classically beautiful. Pre-skeletal Nicole Kidman was classically beautiful in that she looked like a computer model built on all the classically beautiful faces ever. She constantly looked just a little bit like Annette Bening, and then at another angle like Meg Ryan, and at another like a Greek statue… She was beauty homogenized.
Angelina is just herself. And she’s hawt.
I think she looks way more like her father than her mother, actually. Jon Voight always did have…well…a “purty mouth,” in the words of a certain forest-dwelling character who shall forever be remembered in cinematic history for that line. Jolie has the same lips and the same bone structure to her face.
Look up “Celebrity Movie Archive”, find Angelina Jolie under “J”, and fap to your heart’s content. About the only thing she hasn’t done is porn, so you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.
If you put a paper bag over her head, then no question, Jolie is hot. Take the bag away and my libido plummets through the floor. I’ve seen better looking backs of buses.
She actually said in an interview that she did Wanted precisely because it was a “fun, big, stupid movie” and it allowed her to calm down after A Mighty Heart, which was apparently emotionally draining in real life on her.
Angelina Jolie was in that movie? I was too busy watching James McEvoy…
I’m a straight woman, and I’d do her.
I’m with trustno_1’s friend.
Make no mistake, if, through some bizarrely unlikely set of circumstances, I met her and she was giving me an “I want to get to know you vibe” like everytime I told a joke, even if it was pretty bad, she would laugh a long time, and then she would find an excuse to touch me on the arm and then kind of let her hand linger on my shoulder when she looked into my eyes, yeah, I would be into it. I’m not gonna lie.
But, having said that, that chick is too skinny. I saw Wanted (which kind of blows by the way). I saw the scene where she gets out of the tub and she’s naked from the back. And again, I think that chick is too skinny. Her arms kind of looked like sticks.
She is confident, which is cool and sexy and all that, but frankly, “confidence” per se is not the trait I find sexiest per se. “happy” and “open” and “friendly” to me are all sexier than confidence. Also I like a girl who laughs at my jokes.
I haven’t seen Wanted, but I thought Angelina was the hawtest thing around back when she did Girl, Interrupted, Gone in Sixty Seconds, and Tomb Raider. The last few years I’ve seen way too many tabloid cover photos of her looking skeletal & malnourished. For me, sex appeal is about having a healthy and athletic body.
If she’s carrying a little more weight (especially in the ass) than she was in Mr & Mrs. Smith, then I’m certain I’d find her incredibly hot.
About her face & her parentage: I think she looks like both her parents, to the extent where if you morphed the two of their faces together with computer software, Angelina is what you would get. I think the reason she is usually considered more attractive than the ‘classical beauty’ is that America (and the world, for that matter) is a more racially diverse place, and Angela’s facial features aren’t ‘classically European’. She has wider cheekbones and fuller lips than your average european woman. Which, once again, are thanks to her beautiful parents.
Before we start getting too carried away with how wonderful Angelina is, let’s not forget how married Brad Pitt was when they started their affair.
No doubt it’s at least partly cultural. In Iron and Silk, Mark Salzman’s Chinese students think Julia Roberts is ugly, because she has thick lips. Angelina Jolie would be even uglier to them.
I don’t believe that they had an affair. I think there were sparks, certainly, and it was pretty obvious that they were soulmates, but neither strikes me as the type to have an affair. There’s never been a hint of Pitt cheating on any of his former relationships. Jolie said something that, while sure, she could be lying, I tend to believe. I can’t remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of that if Brad had been the type of guy to cheat on Jen, she wouldn’t have wanted him, because she could never trust him. The reason I believe it is that it just makes sense, and she became a very sensible girl after she adopted Maddox. Voight was, from what I hear, a world-class cheater, and is one of the reasons that Jolie turned her back on him.
I won’t go so far as to say she’s butt-ugly. But she comes close.
Hot? Not.
