The Interview That Kinda Makes Me Want to Sleep With Angelina Jolie

Jolie is still talking up her latest flick, Salt, which I probably won’t see, because Harry Potter movies and Pirates of the Caribbean-type plots are a bit more my speed, but she sounds like she had an amazing time during filming, and in her latest interview discussing Salt, she takes her kick-ass-ness to the next level by saying she wants to be the next James Bond:

On not playing a Bond girl:
‘They wanted me to play a Bond girl in Casino Royale,’ says Angelina Jolie. ‘I said, “Actually, I’d prefer to play him; I’d rather be Bond.” It was a joke – kind of. It was an interesting conversation.’

On Salt not being like James Bond:
‘Salt is nothing like Bond,’ says Jolie. ‘In so many spy films women are femme fatales and we wanted to avoid that. My character doesn’t use her sexuality to get anything. It’s the roughest I’ve looked. When we fight, it gets ugly. Somebody breaks my nose in the film. It’s not pretty.’

On being a woman in an action film:
‘I think when people write things for women – at least with the films I’ve done in the past, such as Tomb Raider – they’re not serious. They’re not raw. They’re not hard. So when we wanted a real female action hero, we looked towards something that wasn’t written for a woman.’

Is there anything this woman can’t do? Honestly. You hear this shit and have to know that it’s no wonder that Brad chose her over wishy-washy, clingy, rom-com Jennifer Aniston. Wouldn’t you? Yeah. You would. I would.

  • True.
    I still believe it’s a meaningless summer action flick, but she’s amazing and inspirational nonetheless.
    Sarah, you grow on me.

  • Sarah I know what you mean. As a straight women I would totally sleep with her. I think she’s amazing.

  • She’s an amazing actress, but she was so thin in Salt that her physical scenes weren’t believable. She looked like she could snap in half. Awful.

  • I’ve always wanted to sleep with her. Not only is she completely gorgeous (though a bit skinny), but she has a strong personality. LOVE HER.

  • Ew, why you want to make her fat? She’s hot now.

    And don’t say a little bit of fat is “normal”. We don’t WANT normal from our film stars! We want “you can never get this hot no matter how much you don’t eat, go to the gym, etc” HOT!
