Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may play a troubled couple in their upcoming film By the Sea (November 13), but that seems to be far from reality.
The couple appeared on Today for a rare joint interview to promote the movie, and they candidly spoke about Jolie’s public health scare.
“Seeing my wife have to be her strongest and knowing that it’s the scariest of news, is terribly moving,” Pitt said.
In 2013, the mother of six revealed that she underwent a double mastectomy because she carried a gene that increased her chance of cancer. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, carried the same gene and passed away from the disease in 2007 at 56.
Two years later, Jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed after receiving a concerning call from her doctor who feared she may have had early stages of ovarian cancer.
Pitt offered all the support he could during his wife’s “scary decision.” And during the interview, he also expressed much admiration for her strength.
“There was no vanity to my wife’s approach,” he said. “She was doing it for her kids and she was doing it for her family so we could be together.”
But then Jolie chimed in to reveal something beautiful about her husband’s support that's moving and beautiful.
