Brad Pitt is in the cover of the latest Rolling Stones magazine and he’s talking about his new film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Of course, an interview with Brad Pitt won’t be complete without him talking about his six kids and the love of his life, Angelina Jolie.

The 44-year old Pitt has demonstrated how natural it is for him to protect his family when someone disses any of them, particularly Jolie. So when the Rolling Stone reporter asked Pitt about a report from the New York Times that the 33-year-old Changeling actress manipulates the press about their family’s image, Pitt goes defensive.

He says, “[The New York Times reports] are talking about not only the woman I love, but one of the people on this planet who I have the greatest respect for. I think she’s as honorable as anyone I’ve ever met.”

Pitt believes that the NY Times article made Jolie to be manipulative in some way, but “he’s totally missing the point - she is savvy”.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be out on Christmas Day, but Pitt is busy promoting the film. Check out the latest photos of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie along with Bill & Jane Pitt (Brad’s parents) as they enjoyed a night out to during the premiere…
