Angelina, Angelina, Angelina.

I was horrified.

I'm walking down the street

and I see this big cardboard cutout of myself

as this character.

That was enough.

That was enough for me.

To your right, Angelina, please!

Angelina, to your right, please.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Brangelina.

One of the most iconic and sought after celebrity couples.

For more than a decade,

the glamorous pair fascinated and were idolized by many.

- Listen, someone told me you'll never be ready for birth,

marriage, death, and fame.

I said, "Oh, I don't know."

For awhile,

it seemed the Brangelina was the perfect love story

and that nothing would be able to take away

the shine of their romance,

but, behind closed doors,

behind the glitz, the glamor, and the fame,

the golden couple began to crumble.

Before it all went wrong,

we take a look at one of the most charismatic,

enigmatic, and compelling duos of present day Hollywood.

Out of a movie set encounter,

a fictional romance turned into real life romance

for two of the most famous actors

of the modern Hollywood scene.

And so began the incredible love story of Brangelina.

Brad Pitt was born William Bradley Pitt

on December 18th, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

He was the eldest of three children and grew up in Missouri,

in a strict Christian conservative household.

His father Bill owned a trucking company

and his mother Jane ,was a family counselor.

At school, he was showing his acting talent

by taking part in the school musicals.

He was already a resolute child.

Pitt studied journalism at the University of Missouri,

originally aspiring to be an advertising art director.

However, the young college student had other aspirations

and his love for movies became too strong.

During his last semester, on a whim,

he dropped out of college and set off to Los Angeles,

the land of opportunities, to pursue an acting career,

just two credits shy of a college degree.

With no money and no fame,

the only thing he had was his dream of becoming an actor.

He said that films represented for him

a portal into different worlds.

Pitt told his parents he intended to enroll

in the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena,

but, instead, spent the next several months

taking acting classes and working at odd jobs,

such as a limousine driver for strippers,

delivering refrigerators,

or being a giant chicken mascot for a restaurant.

His new life in the City of Angels was tough

as he was trying to break into show business.

He was desperate to become part of the industry.

Finally, the young unknown talent

was eventually spotted by someone.

One day, he joined an acting class

as his classmates scene partner for an audition.

Shortly after, in a twist of fate,

the agent signed him instead of his classmate.

After only seven months in Los Angeles,

Pitt had secured an agent and regular acting work.

Angelina Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight

on June 4th, 1975 in Los Angeles, California.

Daughter of actress Marcheline,

and award-winning actor Jon Voight.

She spent much of her childhood in New York

where she took acting courses

at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for two years

and also studied drama at New York University.

She then returned to Los Angeles

and enrolled at Beverly Hills High School.

In addition to acting in theater productions,

she modeled and appeared in music videos.

Her teen years were dark and difficult.

She was considered an outsider at school

and she struggled with depression, substance abuse,

eating disorder, and self destructive behavior.

Brad Pitt started with small insignificant roles

on television and soap operas.

He made his big screen debut

in 1989's horror film "Cutting Class."

But in 1991, it was a part

in a controversial high-profile Hollywood film

that got things moving for him,

and pushed him into the glare of instant stardom.

His performance in Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise"

grabbed universal attention,

despite only a few minutes worth of screen time.

- Excuse me, ma'am.

Can I ask which direction you're heading to?

See, I'ma try get back to school

and my ride fell through.

And, well, I'm kinda stuck here like stink on stink,

so I was thinking that you're going my way

or I'm going your way?

- I think we're going to Oklahoma city but I'm not sure.

- Yeah, well, I appreciate it much

Pitt's charming bad boy charisma

made him a genuine sex symbol.

In 1992, his performance in "A River Runs Through It"

is said to be the one who propelled his career.

1994 was the year of his next major career step,

when he was lucky enough to be cast alongside

big Hollywood names, Tom cruise and Antonio Banderas

in "Interview With The Vampire."

That same year, in the historical melodrama,

"Legends of the Fall,"

Pitt received his first major award nomination

for his performance as the rebellious Tristan,

the Golden Globe for Best Actor.

- It was horrifying.

I'm walking down the street

and I see this big cardboard cutout

of myself and this character.

That was enough.

That was enough to me.

He made his long awaited to debut

into the film industry.

His performance was acclaimed

and his career had finally taken off.

Some people hear their own inner voices

with great clearness and they live by what they hear

such people become crazy, or they become legend.

Angelina Jolie made her screen debuts

at a young age alongside her father.

But her film career really began in 1995

with her first major movie role in "Hackers".

- Half the planet.

Half the planet.

It's not just something they do.

- Sure this sweet machine's not going to waste.

- Are challenging me?

It's who they are.

- I win, you wear a dress on our date.

- If I win, so do you .

They can crack any code.

Get inside any system.

Hello, Mr. Gill,

according to our records, you're dead.

- I'm what?

On set, she met her first husband.

The British actor, Johnny Lee Miller.

Six months after filming they were married.

Although before then she was involved with actress

Jenny Shimizu, that she had met on set as well.

At the wedding, the 20-year old bride

walked down the aisle, wearing black rubber trousers,

and a white shirt with the groom's name written on it,

in her own blood.

The film as well as her marriage weren't successful;

They were divorce after four years.

In 1997, Jolie grabbed attention

when she acted in "George Wallace"

winning a Golden Globe for her performance.

The following year, she played a supermodel

struggling with drug addiction in the HBO movie "Gia".

Her performance that earned her multiple honors

including a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

- You scare the shit out of people

and then they don't see how scared you are.

Once upon a time there was a girl with cold blue hair.

I went to live in a beautiful house.

- I'm Linda.

- Nice to meet you.

Angelina.

Angelina, to the right.

Angelina.

Angelina, don't go.

In 1999,

she appeared in the comedy "Pushing Tin"

with Billy Bob Thornton

and the following year she married him.

Despite their fiery romance and being madly in love

their union didn't last either.

They were divorce in 2003.

Pitt was fighting to secure his place in Hollywood.

Many critics still found his roles were lacking in dementia.

In 1995, Pitts efforts finally paid off.

He abruptly took a gritty turn alongside Kevin Spacey

and Morgan Freeman.

He starred in Award-Winning Thriller "Seven",

which since has been considered

one of the best films of all time

Determined to prove his skills,

He showed the public

that there was another dimension to him.

During filming,

he met and began dating his co-star Gwyneth Paltrow,

the first super famous celeb on Brad Pitt's list.

Although she was unknown at the time,

both claimed it was love at first sight.

The two stayed together for two and a half years,

and we're one of the 90's hottest

and most celebrated couples.

Then in 1997, after a seven-month engagement

the couple split,

nobody knows exactly what went wrong.

Although Gweneth declared, that she was too young

and not ready.

Pitt wouldn't stay single for long.

In 1995, Pitt's dedication worked its magic again

as he starred in "12 monkeys"

winning a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor

and earning his first Oscar nomination.

In 1997, he shot his most ambitious film to date,

"Seven Years in Tibet".

The film even got him banned from returning to China

as they deemed the topics depicted, offensive.

During these years, he dated various co-stars

including Juliette Lewis, Jill Schoelen and Robin Givens.

Brad had grabbed the attention of the women

as well as the tabloids, by his attractive looks.

But, as it turned out

he could offer much more than his looks.

In 1998, he was set up on a date with Jennifer Aniston.

It turned out to be pretty successful.

The two fell in love and tied the knot in July, 2000

in an extravagant ceremony in Malibu.

They even created a production company together

called Plan B Entertainment.

It seemed that the couple was ready

to start a family together,

but destiny would decide otherwise.

- You can see why Jennifer and Brad immediately clicked.

They're both really down to earth,

funny people who are real people.

- It was a massive deal when Brad and Jennifer got together

Brad Pitt was on a career just trajectory

that was going up, up, up, up, up.

He'd already been of course in "Thelma and Louise"

which had made him a household name

and movies like "Fight Club"

were coming out around the same time.

So he wasn't A-lister, Jen was A-lister of course,

for being in "Friends"

which she was commanding $1 million per episode.

So the two of them together,

you have like the most powerful sex symbol

from the movie industry

with the most popular woman from television together,

it was like the ultimate power couple.

After they were together,

you just could not go anywhere without seeing their faces.

From everything, from people,

national choir, every single gossip show,

it was just Jennifer Aniston

and Brad Pitt constantly everywhere.

And I think that there was something people

found really appealing

because she was so much the girl next door.

- Jennifer and Brad became the first modern super couple

In 1999,

Brad Pitt gave one of his most famous performances ever

in a memorable cult film "Fight Club".

The disturbing and rebellious character he played,

marked his place in Hollywood's history.

- Gentlemen, welcome to Fight Club.

First rule of Fight Club is...

- Wow, nice.

You do not talk about fight club.

- Is that your blood?

- Some of it, yeah.

After fight club we all started seeing things differently.

- You gonna have to keep me up all night.

And she ruined everything.

- You're not into her are you?

- No God, not at all.

Shortly after, he was cast in "Snatch",

"Ocean's Eleven" and then blockbuster Epic "Troy".

By this time he was a renowned actor

and was crushing one role after another.

However, at the time of his biggest success

and when things seem to be booming for him,

his personal life and mental health were getting grim.

He later admitted that during the late 90's

he had become sick of himself and the media.

He was struggling with depression and addictions

and trying to escape reality.

At the end of the 90's, he made a trip to Casa Blanca

where he saw poverty to an extreme

he had never witnessed before.

This allowed him to see the bigger picture

and he realized his own problems were small

compared to what other people were facing.

He managed to turn his life around, cleaned up,

and got back into acting

with even bigger roles on the big screen.

In 2000, Jolie won her first Oscar for her supporting role

as a mental patient in "Girl Interrupted".

From then on, she also kept climbing the ladder to success.

Although, not all her films appealed to a wide audience.

In 2001, the heroin role in Lara Croft "Tomb Raider"

propelled her into international stardom.

The blockbuster became the highest grossing action movie

with a woman in the lead role.

Angelina became a mom for the first time,

when in March, 2002, she adopted her first child.

Seven-month-old orphan Maddox, from Cambodia.

She said that her tendency to self-harm stopped

as soon as he entered her life.

Although, Angelina was married to Billy Bob Thornton

at the time,

she formally adopted Maddox as a single parent.

The couple split

three months after the adoption was finalized.

Angelina was a single mom for three years.

In 2005, she decided to adopt her second child,

a six-month-old Ethiopian girl named Zahara.

And then that same year something happened,

her life would change forever.

As she scored a hit in the action blockbuster

that allowed her to meet the one and only, Brad Pitt.

Brad's relationship with Jennifer Aniston

had started to crumble,

even though she had declared

feeling ready to have children with him.

After seven years together, they split up in 2005,

Aniston cited irreconcilable differences.

Just a year before, Pitt had met the woman

who would change the course of his life forever.

At the time, Brad and Angelina

were the two biggest names in Hollywood

and they United for the first time in 2004

on the set of action blockbuster, "Mr. And Mrs. Smith",

where they played a married couple who led a secret spy life

- Come on sweetheart, come to daddy.

- Are you daddy now?

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie,

- You're still around baby

"Mr. And Mrs. Smith".

- You know that you're ticking?

Not long after

they started working together on the film,

rumors that the two were having an affair

began to circulate.

It was controversial and unfortunate

because Pitt was still married to Aniston.

The Hollywood scandal dominated the tabloids for years.

They denied the rumors initially

but both later admitted falling in love

although they weren't officially together

until after Pitt's divorce with Jennifer.

The film earned more than $478 million worldwide

and their movie romance evolved into real life romance.

It was very strange

to be reporting on Brad and Jen

when Brad was filming Mr.And Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie had a reputation

as this kind of home wrecker.

So when Brad started working with Angelina,

everybody was already kind of raising an eyebrow

and this and that.

However, Brad was, he was seen as such a good guy

and the guy next door and happily in love.

And in fact, Jennifer Aniston herself said

that she didn't have trepidation

about him working with Angelina.

She actually met Angelina for the first time,

she saw her on the lot where they made friends

and Jen pulled over and said to Angelina,

I hope you guys enjoy working together.

Brad's really looking forward to it.

I hope you have so much fun.

So, Jen wasn't nervous or jealous

or insecure when he started working with Angelina,

but it certainly turned into something

that would ultimately destroy her marriage.

Now, "Friends" was wrapped up,

and Jen was telling different magazines her plans,

and her plans were to go to the set of "Mr. And Mrs. Smith"

and have some time hanging out with Brad.

Now that obviously didn't happen

because on the set of "Mr. And Mrs. Smith",

Brad and Angelina got very, very close and cozy.

- Angelina has said

I would never have slept with a married man.

My dad cheated on my mom

and I just wouldn't do that to another woman.

But she also said,

basically they were falling in love on set

and she couldn't wait to get to work every day.

And that's where they fell in love.

I remember watching an interview with Angelina

after they were together,

and she said, I remember telling our kids

this is where mommy, daddy fell in love

when they were making the movie.

So, she herself has said that she and Brad fell in love

and it was certainly the love and the relationship

that developed whether it was sexual or just emotional.

But that relationship

would derail Brad's and Jen's marriage,

and put the final kind of nail in that coffin.

When Brad and Jen split up,

there was a massive cultural shift

between those who were team Jen and team Angelina.

I mean, people actually wore t-shirts in LA.

A lot of us felt for Jen.

If you look back at the origins of the kind of worlds

feeling like this poor sad Jen,

which has been this storyline,

it began when Brad left Jen for Angelina

Jen has been locked in this kind of Bermuda Triangle

when it comes to the tabloids

with her, and Brad, and Angelina.

And, Jennifer has spoken numerous times

about her desire to stop being a part of that narrative.

However, the impact of the Brad, Jen, Angelina, triangle

was felt for decades.

Shortly after,

Pitt was snapped on vacation with Jolie and her son Maddox.

Brad and Angelina had very different upbringings,

but as they both rose to stardom on the screen

somehow when they met, it was meant to be.

However, this time they didn't rush down the aisle.

In fact, they waited for a very long time

before making things official.

The media instantly went crazy over the new power couple,

they nickname Brangelina was born

and so was the Brangelina obsession.

During this time, both in 1995 and 2000

Pitt was nominated as the sexiest man alive.

Some commercials in which he starred

like the Toyota one, were even banned in some countries

such as Malaysia, to avoid the local men

feeling inferior to him.

In 2006, the critically acclaimed "Babble"

earned Pitt another Golden Globe nomination.

He continued acting and critically acclaimed

an Award-Winning Films

such as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button",

the "Inglorious Basterds", "The Tree of Life,

and "Moneyball".

By then, the media madness and public hysteria

had reached unimaginable levels.

This even led them to having to deal

with serious issues with stalkers.

One day, one broke into his home,

wore his clothes, and slept for several hours

in his bed before accidentally setting off an alarm.

Angelina Jolie is not only a multiple award-winning actress.

She is also, a busy mom

and a dedicated and loving individual on a mission.

During the filming of "Tomb Raider" in Cambodia,

she was disturbed by the poverty of the country.

So, she became an advocate for people in need.

Now, she promotes various causes including conservation,

education, and women's rights and helps refugees

as a Goodwill ambassador of the United nations.

She's even considered giving up acting

to devote herself to this work.

In 2013, she received an award

for her humanitarian work around the globe.

- I will do as my mother asked

and I will do the best I can with this life

to be of use.

And to stand here today

means that I did as she asked,

and if she were alive, she'd be very proud.

So thank you for that.

Her personal experience with poverty

in Third World countries had a profound effect on her.

She once quoted,

it was only when I came out of my shell

and started taking care of others

that I found the real Angelina.

- I think without the balance

of doing things that actually matter in the world

and being a part of the real world

then I would have been left in a bubble

and that would have felt very empty,

and I probably would have just had a very shallow

horrible life.

I'm very lucky that I've been allowed to,

over the last 10 years travel and go into the world

and be welcomed into areas of the world where I see people

and work with people who are survivors of war and refugees

and people just from everywhere and all walks of life.

And so I have a real view of the real world

and I'm very happy inside the real world

because I'm very touched and very moved by people

and by what they overcome and by the symbol.

And they have always reminded me,

to wake up in the morning and just be grateful,

your children are healthy.

Nothing else matters.

And so I've had that.

So, yes, every once in a while I get a dress on

and I walk the red carpet,

but it's kind of like that funny thing you do

that party you go to every once in a while,

but it's not who you really are.

Helping people in need

has always been a huge part in Pitts and Jolie's life.

They wanted to share what they had received

during their life with those who needed it.

So in 2006, they created The Jolie-Pitt Foundation

in order to aid humanitarian crises in the world.

- This is my job, and I'm very fortunate to be an artist

and I don't look down on people

that are fortunate to have a lot in life,

at the same time, I expect them as I expect of myself

to be as generous as possible

with all that we've been fortunate enough

to be blessed with.

But my daily life is not this,

my daily life is being at home with my kids

and there's very little division between that

and understanding what's happening in the world

because understanding what's happened in the world

is what makes me a better person,

a better parent and this is my focus.

They are committed to fighting poverty

and injustice and have worked to help

impoverished communities in developing countries.

They donated $1 million in Chad and Sudan

and supported the one campaign that aims

at combating AIDS and poverty.

They donated millions upon millions

to charities around the globe.

- I'm gravely concerned that we have a clinic in Addis

that we're just opening that's a TB AIDS clinic.

And we've been wondering if we need

to turn it into more infectious diseases.

We've been speaking to a lot of people on the ground.

There's so much more that needs to be done

but, I'm of course not a scientist

or somebody that is physically there

to know how much more we can have.

And, it is very important what they have done

in making sure people are very clear

if they have symptoms

and to crack down on people who are hiding these symptoms

and in fact spreading it.

All these things are very important

but what will be enough and what will be the answer?

And will we find a cure soon enough?

I don't know.

Also in 2006,

came the exciting and surprising news

for the happy family of four.

Three months

after Pitt's divorce with Aniston was finalized,

the couple announced they were expecting

their first biological child together.

As Angelina was pregnant with their daughter,

the couple decided to fly to Namibia

in order to have some privacy and give birth in serenity.

The event caused a wave of excitement among fans

all wondering what the baby would look like

due to their reputation

as the world's most attractive parents.

It was even described by some

as the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ.

On May 27th, 2006

their baby girl was born

and the world welcomed Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Brad was able to formally adopt Zahara and Maddox.

He would also become the adoptive father of Pax.

The mania was at its peak.

The first pictures of Shiloh were allegedly sold

for $4 million to American magazines People and Hello.

The money was donated to charity.

The couple has always had a rocky relationship

with paparazzi trying to avoid them at all costs.

They also wanted to avoid transforming their children

into money-making machines

which is why the millions they made

by selling their newborns photos to the press,

went to charity.

They also do their best to protect them from the press.

Brangelina wasted no time expanding their family

in the years that followed.

In a blink of an eye,

the couple then had three more children.

In 2007, they adopted three-year-old Pax from Vietnam.

Then more happy news came,

a year later Angelina revealed her second pregnancy

during the Cannes Film Festival in 2008

with a red carpet appearance showing off her baby bump.

She gave birth to twins, Knox and Vivienne

on July 12th, 2008 in Nice, France.

The first photos of the twins were reported

to have been sold for $14 million.

The most expensive celebrity baby photos in history.

The fees were donated to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

Just like that,

the power couple turned into a power family.

By this time, the pressure for them to marry had increased

but the couple declared they would only get married

once marriage equality would be reached.

Pitt affirmed,

I believe everyone should have the same rights.

The U.S Supreme court legalized same-sex marriage

on June 26th, 2015.

In 2012, Brangelina took it to the next level.

Brad finally proposed

with a beautiful half million dollar,

diamond engagement ring.

In February, 2013

Angelina faced some difficult health challenges.

She had to undergo

a preventative double mastectomy procedure

due to her risk of developing breast cancer.

She bravely opened up about her deeply personal decision.

Brad offered his support throughout the experience

and praised her decision and choices as heroic.

Jolie has stated, I feel feminine

and grounded in the choices I am making

for myself and my family.

Her career would continue to flourish in the next decade

and she even started writing and directing movies.

Her best commercial success came

with Disney's fantasy "Maleficent" in 2014.

Her personal life often attracted

at least as much attention as her acting.

Angelina is unconventional, independent, and free spirited.

As a public figure,

she has been cited as one of the most influential people

in the American entertainment industry.

She was in fact

named the Most Powerful Celebrity in the world

by Forbes Magazine in 2009

and was also cited many times,

as the most beautiful woman in various media.

After mounting pressure from their children

Brad and Angelina married in 2014.

Worthy of a fairytale,

the picturesque ceremony was held at Chateau Miraval

in Nice, South of France.

With Maddox and Pax walking them down the aisle,

Zahara and Vivienne as flower girls,

and Shiloh and Knox as ring bearers.

The big news warmed the hearts

of millions of fans around the world.

Angelina has six sets of geographical coordinates tattooed

on her arm showing the birthplaces of all her children.

When she got her seventh tattoo

it sparked rumors that she was planning to adopt again.

Pitt and Jolie have said that they want their children

to remain in touch with their home countries.

In 2003, she bought a house in Cambodia

so that Maddox could connect with the country

he was born in.

Through foundations named after their children,

Jolie is supporting rural communities

and preserving the wildlife and environment

of Asian and African countries,

such as Cambodia, Namibia, and Sudan.

She opened the Shiloh Wildlife Sanctuary in Namibia in 2017

to commemorate the location

where her first biological child was born.

Through the organization,

she has helped build schools, roads, and villages in Asia.

- It's made me a better mother, a better friend,

a better human being.

I don't wake up and wish for the things I don't have.

I wake up and I'm happy my kids are healthy.

And I feel that when you have use in the world,

you have a happier life.

All while trying to make the world

a better place and living his family adventures,

Pitt continued along his path,

starring in one hit after another.

There was a "World War Z" his highest grossing movie

of all times.

"12 Years a Slave" which became a huge success

and won 100 awards.

Then "Allied".

- The film has difficult moments and surely details,

man's in humanity, man's ability to be cruel to another

but ultimately what the stories is about

it's a reminder of our responsibility to each other.

We're all equal and we're after the same thing,

and that's what I love about this film.

And I can't say enough great things about it.

It's a very rare film

The other thing

that we've seeing great deal of coverage

over the last few months is your marriage itself.

What's the worst thing about being marriage to Brad Pitt?

- What's the worst thing?

I'm sure you can tell us

plenty of great things.

What's the worst thing?

- There's nothing.

There's nothing.

I'm very fortunate, he's a great man and a great father.

He's a man without fault, can this be true?

- Oh, no man is without fault, but I've got my own

so his faults bounds mine.

And what's the worst one?

Does he sat on the floor?

- He's probably, no...

He's really a good person.

He's human, I'm human,

we have our flaws but where it counts he's a great man.

Behind closed doors,

the couple started to face serious issues

and cracks started forming in this once blissful marriage.

A year after their wedding in 2015,

they reunited on screen for "By The Sea",

about a couple attempting to repair their marriage,

which Angelina wrote and directed.

- I can't believe I'm here with this movie.

We were driving up, I thought,

how are we here with that movie?

Because this is our little art movie

and it does feel very, very big and fancy

for this crazy little film we've made.

She confessed that the film was an attempt

to try and revive her relationship with Brad.

She was hoping that getting back together on set,

after a decade, would cause them to fall back in love.

They had worked brilliantly together previously in the past

and Jolie was sure it could happen again.

Brad, Brad .

You wanna talk about it, Vanessa?

Do you hate me?

- You know my reason.

- You wanna hurt me

- You're nothing

- Hurt me.

- Stop

- But, art imitates life a bit too closely sometimes

and it turned out to be the worst honeymoon ever.

In November, 2015, they stepped out for the film premiere.

They spent their press tour talking about their marriage

and how much they loved each other.

Pitt even said at one point, I trust her with my life.

- The first one, we had a lot of fun

because of the subject matter in this film,

it's very, very heavy and it's not really fun

but the pleasure is breaking through something together

and pushing each other and getting to the other end of it,

and learning something about each other,

so that was good, but it wasn't easy

and you'll see when you see the movie,

I think in a way you'll breathe when it's over.

It seemed as if all signs

were pointing to a long lasting marriage.

Even though they were all smiles for the camera,

they were falling apart.

Brad Pitt admitted, he had a serious drinking problem.

After the movie, the couple grew apart even more

as they went to work on different projects

but Brad's addictions, had led to anger issues

and he had begun to spiral out of control.

In 2016, a family incident happened during a private flight

Afterwards, she refused to let him see the children

and applied for a protective order against Brad

which led him to be investigated by the FBI

and the Department of Child and Family Services.

- Someone told me you'll never be ready for birth,

marriage, death and fame.

I said, "Oh, I don't know."

On September 20th of that year,

breaking news broke the internet

citing irreconcilable differences,

Angelina had officially filed for divorce.

The news instantly sent shock waves through Hollywood

and millions of fans were left speechless and heartbroken.

The tabloids went crazy again,

who was going to get custody of the children?

Angelina requested sole physical custody.

However, in 2019, the judge warned Jolie

that Pitt must be allowed to see the children more

or she would lose custody.

"I am very saddened by this,

but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids."

Brad apparently said in a statement.

Angelina has declared the decision to divorce

was made for the health of the family.

After only two years of marriage

but over a decade of romance,

the glamorous couple in their golden years turned to ashes

and as tragic as it was their love story ended.

Of course this caused a frenzy in the media.

This breakup was so widely publicized

that some airline companies

even started creating advertisements

offering cheap flights to LA

based on the fact that Brad was single.

The couple separated on healthy terms.

However, the divorce is still ongoing

as the ex's continue to work

through custody battles and other issues.

- I was an extra for good, almost two years.

- Really? Yeah, yeah.

- Can you get the stills from it?

You're actually--

- It's in the movie.

I'm standing in the doorway with an outstanding mullet.

Outstanding.

We try to get lined

so we can get our sad card and then we can be working.

It's a catch 22.

You can't be an actor without your sad card

at least at that time, but you can't get

have your sad card unless you have a line.

I was an extra in the Charlie Sheen movie and I was a waiter

and they were all, it was no man's land DB Sweeney.

And they're all sitting around a big table scene

and I come up with the bottle,

and I supposed to pour champagne

and I come around

and I think, man, I'm gonna try to get a line in.

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try,

'cause they're all having a conversation.

I figured maybe I can slip this in.

And I pour this young actor a glass of champagne

and I go, would you like anything else?

And she looked at me and goes,

and the director goes cut, cut.

And first D goes, if you do that again you're off the set.

- Oh no.

As of 2019,

Brad Pitt's career doesn't seem to have slowed down.

He acted in "Ad Astra", and "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood",

the "Quentin Tarantino" comeback masterpiece

in which he won Best Supporting Actor Award.

I really believe in accepting where we are

and dealing with what we're given,

and I've been very fortunate.

And also as you know, I still have my challenges

and I just really believe in embracing

and finding the acceptance and whatever the day brings you.

Jolie isn't leaving Hollywood, either.

She was seen in Maleficent too that same year.

- Don't, ruin my morning.

- Philip asked me to marry him.

- No.

- I wasn't really asking,

- Nor was I, love doesn't always end well Beastie.

- Trust me, let us prove you wrong.

You have done an admirable job

going against your own nature to raise this child.

She is focusing on her acting career

while at the same time taking care of her six children

and tirelessly working on her UN missions

in more than 20 countries all around the world.

Looking back, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's careers

and personal lives have been vertiginous

and full of challenges.

Brad Pitt the Hollywood story where overnight

an unknown talent transformed into a superstar.

The little Missouri boy had reached the heights

that he was always aiming for,

but not without great ambition and talent.

With exceptional performances,

Brad Pitt is an absolute Hollywood superstar.

One of the most famous and talented actors

starring and making some of the best movies

of the past decades.

Angelina Jolie has become a legendary Hollywood femme fatale

and actress known for her sex appeal and edginess.

But like Brad, she is far more than just a pretty face

after climbing to the top of Hollywood and rising to fame

she is acclaimed for her talent, her humanitarian work,

her devotion, for her expanding family.

Over the course of 12 years together,

Brangelina weathered scandals, health scares,

and raising six children together.

- It's the greatest thing I've ever taken on.

I can't imagine life without them.

Wow.

So everything else, it makes everything else perfunctory

in a way, but also more fun

because you have this other thing to go home to.

And even the films, I can't help

but do a film thinking my kids will see that at someday

and that may mean something to them.

So it puts an extra importance

and yet takes off the importance's at the same time.

But even though,

they made us believe in a happily ever after,

they reached a breaking point.

After all, they are also human

and even a super couple can break.

All relationships have their ups and downs

especially in Hollywood,

but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's relationship

was marked by fascination.

What was Brangelina about?

And, why did their relationship fascinate so many people?

It was always about the bigger picture.

It was more than about each other.

More than about their children.

Their love story was just truly universal.

If only for awhile,

after a decade of hysteria

the world grieved the loss of one of the world's

most influential and talented duos.

They have come a long way

and they reached an influence

never before seen in the industry, both together and apart.

Once upon a time in Hollywood,

there were two passionate people who became superstars,

fell in love, and became one of the most powerful,

sexy, extravagant, and romantic couples

in the film industry.

This was the story of Brangelina.
