Angelina Jolie for Elle Magazine.

Angelina Jolie is my favourite cup of tea right now. She's so blatantly honest, forthright and is the quintessential anti-hero. 

Forget the blonde American sweetheart, Angie is sex personified and lives her life on her own terms. Her recent spread in Elle USA is disturbingly beautiful, with minimal makeup and an emphasis on strong, black & white imagery.

On what she used to think her life would be like:

“I never thought I’d have children, I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.” 

On how her relationship with Brad has evolved over the past eight years:

“You get together and you’re two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy. After all these years, we have history—and when you have history with somebody, you’re friends in such a very real, deep way that there’s such a comfort, and an ease, and a deep love that comes from having been through quite a lot together.”
