Dustin Hoffman on Angelina Jolie
by Randi
USMagazine.com has got a very interesting story up about Dustin Hoffman and Angelina Jolie! Apparently Dustin met Angelina when she was sixteen years old. He had worked with Jon Voight on Midnight Cowboy and Jon called him up in 1991 when Dustin was playing Captain Hook in Hook.
“He called me up and said, ‘My kids are dying to meet Captain Hook. Are you in costume? Can I come over with the kids?” Hoffman told him to bring hte kids over and met Angelina and her brother, James.
“This is Angelina,” Voight told Hoffman, who described Jolie as a “tall, thin, gawky-looking girl with a mouth full of braces.” “I was just making conversation. ‘So do you guys have any idea what you want to do?” he asked her. “And she gave me a laser-like intensity look, and she says, ‘I’m going to be an actress.’ “And I went home to my wife and I said, ‘I don’t think this kid has any idea what a tough road she’s got.’”
How interesting to hear about young Angelina from an actor of Dustin Hoffman’s caliber!

Maybe she was younger than 16 when Hoffman met her. We all know how beautiful she was when she was 16.
Anyway, that story was funny. and look at her now. Everything happened her way.

I don’t think I would call her pretty in the pic with her dad (above). I believe she is someone who had to grow into her look. I think at that age her features were still to strong in her face. But when she finally did grow into them WOW!

Nah, she was always beautiful, I don’t know what you are talking about. And this story is kind of old anyway, now’s the time when Brad and the fam are laying low to do some interesting stuff with this website. OLD covers that they have been on, lists of cool facts about them, maybe something new no one has “unearthed” about them…. just an idea I’ve put out there plenty of times. If they aren’t going to be any new stories until the babies, it would be great to do something else for now.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, none of us are going to see thing the same way. I once read a interview with AJ where she gave the same opinion of herself as I did above. We all went through an awkward stage at one point in our lives. Mine was grade 5-6

As much as I have tried to stay away from this itty bitty back and forth game we have going on here, I just couldn’t any longer. So I’ll to try to be as nice as possible, Angelina Jolie HAS NEVER been unattractive, nor has she ever said she has been unattractive. She said she has looked in the mirror and thought she looked like a muppet (as an adult), and after that I think everyone hoped to look like a muppet. EVERYONE can agree and definitely SEE that she has and always will be the most gorgeous woman that ever walked the face of this earth, so my conclusion seeing that you are the only one that does not agree: You could possibly be blind.
