Brangelina.

In this video Brangelina is interviewed by the legendary Barbara Walters. They were chosen as the most fascinating couple of the year in 2006. If you watch the video, Barbara talks about the wild past of Angelina and Brad's previous marriage. The video starts off talking about the sexiness of this couple. Individually, both Angie and Brad are some of the hottest young stars in Hollywood. And individually, the image of each of them is very sexual. So when they became a couple it created a frenzy among the public. The stories of them meeting on their movie set and hiding it until Brad was divorced, seem to ooze with the image of sex. The whole scandal with Jennifer Anniston only increased the sex appeal...two beautiful people sneaking around together while working on a movie together where they were supposed to be married.

However, Barbara does not dwell on the scandal and adultery. Instead she quickly moves to the role of Angelina as a mother and humanitarian. While we briefly hear about her wild past, it moves to a face to face interview with Angie. She is talking about she was not happy during her crazy days and how much she loves being a mother. It is interesting to note that the Angelina talking to Barbara is dressed modestly with minimal makeup. Gamson would attribute this to the celebrity machine. Angie's team of publicists and agents got her into this interview, dressed her the part of a modest mother, and gave her things to say. The image that is artifically created is what the public sees and believes. Celebrities seem to have this ability to change their image and pull the public in as they do it. Many people love to see the wild child Angelina turn into a caring and devoted mother.

The video concludes with more talk about her humanitarian works and how she brought Brad into it. The interview goes back to Angelina talking about the feelings she has for being a mother. It speaks about their multi-racial family that jetsets around the world frequently. Also, the reference to the popularity and sexuality of the couple is briefly brought up again. But, the overall image of Angelina is a changed woman; she went from wild to humanitarian and mother in what seems like overnight. How much of this is the "real" Angelina and how much is made for tv?
