Today is Angelina Jolie’s 38th birthday. And she and Brad celebrated early last night with a boozy dinner in Paris, and I guess they’re traveling to Berlin today. Brad’s World War Z premiere schedule is going at a steady clip, isn’t it? I wasn’t expecting the Paris premiere to be one day after the London premiere, and if we’re lucky I guess we’ll get a Berlin premiere tonight? Sure. As for the boozy birthday dinner, Angelina and Brad were wearing the same clothes as the premiere. People Mag has details:
As they would say in France, “Joyeux anniversaire, Angelina!”
Angelina Jolie turns 38 on Tuesday, and she celebrated Monday night with an intimate dinner for two in Paris with fiancé Brad Pitt, following the premiere of his film World War Z at the Normandie Theatre.
Pitt, 49, arranged the dinner personally on Monday afternoon, sources tells PEOPLE, choosing the high-end wine restaurant Il Vino, run by Enrico Bernardo, the youngest-ever winner of the World’s Best Sommelier award.
The couple, both in black jackets, dined alone in a back of the intimate neighborhood restaurant, enjoying a degustation – the restaurant’s tasting menu – around a medley of French wines, staff members say.
“Their main plate was langoustines with a French wine,” said one. “And there was a dessert – a cake, because it was her birthday.”
“It was very subtle, real cool,” said one surprised diner, Yen Goel, who was dining with her husband Rajat when the couple arrived.
“They came in very unobtrusively. It was real fast. They walked by, and I said to my husband, ‘I think I just saw Brad and Angelina walk by us.’ And he said, ‘I think you may have had one glass of wine too many already.’ ”
Following the dinner, Pitt and Jolie joined others from their World War Z travel party at Silencio, a nightclub near Montmartre designed by film director David Lynch.
Asked by reporters earlier in the evening, on the red carpet, if this birthday is special – given his fiancée’s double mastectomy earlier this year – Pitt demurred.
“Every year is special,” he said. “This year isn’t any more special than other years. We’re going to celebrate in the air with the kids because we’re going on to the next city.”
The family heads to Berlin next.
There is one way in which I always hoped Brad and Angelina would be like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: I always wanted Brad to shower Angelina with jewelry. I don’t think Angelina likes to wear a lot of jewelry, though, so maybe Brad has learned that over time. Still, I would love it if Brad had dropped some serious cash on a diamond-encrusted something for Angelina’s birthday. I guess a boozy dinner is good too! But seriously, get some jewelry!

Historically, I haven’t been a Brangaloonie, but I think I may be joining the club..
Welcome 🙂
wow, he looks tubby next to her right? I don’t know why I find these photos funny. she looks totally out of his league.
Maybe the 13 year age difference is catching up to him. Although I think he might have also done something to his face.
He looks like he needs a shower himself. He’s been photographed wearing the same outfit the last week or so it seems?
I wouldn’t worry about Brad’s clothes. His valet can get them dry cleaned in an hour while he sleeps and you can be sure they are taking care of him.
It’s beyond silly to think he doesn’t take care of himself because you can’t see photos of him in the shower.
I agree. But they do seem happier now. She seems a bit more down-to-earth somehow … (but yes, you are right about the ‘out of her league’ in a sense but that’s nice)… less using her ‘glam’ image which I find a bit off-putting. Maybe she feels relieved, happy of the support. That’s really nice. They just seem very happy and supportive of each other (not in the way the media portrays it …I realize some people may not have their significant other’s support during difficult times but let’s hope most do!). But yeah he’s just not looking so hot! but they seem really happy so that’s cool.
Yeah, I noticed that he is starting to look more like his father. I don’t like the all black either.
He looked a lot better in those before the Paris premiere pictures where he was wearing a close fitting long sleeve black top and I THINK different pants. Still an older man, but he appeared to be about 15-20 pounds lighter than he looks here. Clothes/fit can make a big difference. HOWEVER, they both look REALLY happy, which comes across as so beautiful regardless of what they are wearing.
Maybe he’s wearing his fat pants for the big dinner. I have always loved him with the longer hair and beard. Guess I just like a gruffly man. It is nice to see them so happy after what they have been through recently
@Marie “wow, he looks tubby next to her right?”
LMAO at the word tubby. I love it. He is kind of working that Val Kilmer puffiness.
They look as if they are having a good time; I wish I was there getting boozy with them.
Thank you, I could not place who he reminded me of.. (I love the word tubby, it was often used to describe my dad)
And I agree with all of you, they look happy and that is what’s most important. I was just shocked by the puffiness.
Brad looks like a bum!!
I love them
For what reason??? Their looks?
They’re good people who do good for others. Better to love Brad and Angelina than someone like Paris Hilton or the Kardashians.
Sounds lovely. I hope she ate her cake.
Brad is very orange. And MichaelK is right, that exposed zip on his trousers is very distracting.
They totalu look like two parents, w/kids, enjoying a night sans kids, They look so cute!!! Love them!
I agree that Brad is out of her league and is one lucky SOB! Angelina is so gorgeous and glowing in these photos. It’s nice to see her healthy and happy.
Agree, she does look very happy and healthy.
Good for them! My husband & I love to go out & have fun without worrying about getting up with the kid in the morning. We don’t have nannies, of course, but sometimes the kid sleeps over at the grandparents.
I’m jealous. 😀 Both of my kids grandparents live in other country, so me and my hubby never have the chance to go out and have fun all night. Sigh….
I am not much of a jelwery person, other than my wedding ring and a watch and matching ring. No one has ever told me to wear more….. Maybe they are nice? Ya. Don’t think so. 🙂
he looks awful.
Brad is morphing into Beau Bridges
OMG. That is sort of true!
UGH
UGH+1
I think Brad is more of the big spender on art and furniture.
Yes, I think he designed that 2 person marble tub for her and the endless line of several of his designs has something to do with her/them, too. Over the years, he has had some jewelry made for her, some of it based on their kids’ art (I recall a gold cuff bracelet with a child’s drawing) and he actually tattooed her birth date in Khmer on his abs @7 years ago, so that is kind of “human” art/jewelry.
wait. i just saw at Dlisted Birthday List.
Russell Brand was born on the same day as Angelina Jolie?
i think that is somewhat cool.
I wish for the jewelry too, bec she had the dramatic features to make them shine, a la Liz Taylor. Not to be, tho- think they spend their money on kids! LOL
VAL KILMER IS THAT YOU? 😯 😆 😉
LOL
I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I wouldn’t look twice at either of them if they weren’t Brad and Angie. I can’t seem to find anything appealing about them.
Interesting. It’s possible that because we (??) are so focused on them that we project something more on to them then what is there…
Interesting thought. If I saw them now for the first time, I am not sure that I would notice.
However, I will never forget the massive crush I developed from seeing Brad Pitt in “A River Runs Through It” when it came out, and how I thought that Angelina Jolie stole the show from Winona Ryder in “Girl, Interrupted.” They both made massive impressions on me both because they had looks and because they seemed to have something extra compelling about them.
That must have been weighing on you. So nice you could get it off your chest.
Hey, she’s expressing an opinion, Sullivan, and a valid one. It *is* interesting to think about how our projected ideas of glamour affect the way we see celebrities. Your comment expresses no opinion. You’re being aggressively sarcastic for no reason.
Jolie looks emaciated. And Pitt looks exhausted.
They’re still better off than you.
Happy birthday Angie.I will always love and support your projects.You are amazing.
I agree with some of the comments above. They look like a mismatch to me. I’m not feelin it!
She’s a classic beauty. Brad looks awful, him and Johnny Depp need to grow up style-wise. Ditch the pony tail, long hair doesn’t look good on middle aged men.
Pitt looks terrible. Just awful…
Her face is kind of greasy/oily, but since she’s wearing the same clothes as the premiere, I’ll bet she didn’t have any makeup touch-ups throughout the day, so she looks decent for a 12 hour day.
That just made me hungry.
Traveling and good food, leave the fame out though. What a life…
Agree!
Oh my God Woman, blot your face! It looks like it’s melting.
Dear Brad,
as you stated in all your last interviews, it’s not 1995 anymore, so please stop with long hair.
Sincerely,
E.

Brad can forever get it. thing is I have never read a comment/tweet or whatever from anyone that has ever said he is not attractive in person. Infact most account say he looks better in person. And I’m not just talking women but men too.
I can see how in love they are. And again they don’t go out a lot and get “loaded or whatever. Glad the had a private celebration. I also like how he said every birthday is special.
His quotes about their relationship have been extremely swoon worthy.
I can’t help it I just love them together.
Is it just me or he trying to look gross? I mean I was never one of those “OMG Brad Pitt” fans but I never thought he was yuk, I was totally neutral on his looks, but lately he’s yuk. I just don’t see it.
Heh, their ad campaign is already so far and away above The Garner-Affleck’s.
Happy birthday Angie!!! Lots of love… 🙂
WEIGHT A MINUTE!!!
see what i did there? 😉
is this some growing fad? i feel like the Hollyworld has gone topsy-turvy!
Brad, Keanu & Christian Bale are all pudgin’ it up, meanwhile,
Matthew Perry & Vince Vaughn are slimming down.
like, wtf? 😯
Christian Bale gained weight for a role. If you see Bale looking extra thin or chubby, just assume it’s for a role.
Brad has been going through stress what with Angelina’s surgery and all, so that could easily be the cause of the weight gain. But he is nearing fifty, so the guy deserves a break for any weight gain.
As for Keanu, well, he’s 48 too. I doubt his weight has much to do with his age, but given the fact that he’s looked the same for well over a decade, he should get a break on his weight as well. I doubt he’ll stay at this eight for long, but that’s just my personal opinion.
I don’t know why Vaughn is losing weight, but Perry has been known to gain and lose weight, so this isn’t unusual for him, although the reasons for it are probably different this time.
These may not be Brad’s best pictures. However, just the other day (in London) he looked WOW. Give him a break. He has premieres in different countries almost daily. How good would we look after 1 more premiere and birthday dinner with lots of wine? I love them together. They seem like well suited partners.
Yaaay!
Brad Pitt used to be SO HOT! Since hooking up with Jolie he’s started to look more and more like a homeless douchebag
Together they are the best. Angelina has so much to her it is easy to understand that Brad was with no talent/no depth Anniston during the “high years.” When he came into his true self, he ditched the bitch and went to substance. Made me like him for the first time. Always liked Angelina.
+1 to everything. Very well said!
She looks so happy and beautiful inside and out.
