Angelina Jolie’s “I’m So In Love With My Brother” Speech – The Full Story Everyone Still Whispers About
In 2000, Angelina Jolie created one of the most memorable and controversial moments in Hollywood history during the awards season for her role in Girl, Interrupted.It began at the Golden Globes in January 2000, where she won Best Supporting Actress. Photos captured her sharing affectionate kisses on the lips with her brother,
James Haven, who accompanied her to events. This set the stage for even more attention.The moment peaked at the 72nd Academy Awards on March 26, 2000, when Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. In her acceptance speech, she emotionally said:
“I’m in shock, and I’m so in love with my brother right now. He just held me and said he loved me, and I know he’s so happy for me… Jamie, I have nothing without you. You are the bravest, strongest man I’ve ever known. I love you so much.”Later that night, at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, photographers snapped images of the siblings sharing a quick kiss on the lips while posing on the red carpet.

I love you so much.”Later that night, at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, photographers snapped images of the siblings sharing a quick kiss on the lips while posing on the red carpet.
The photos spread rapidly, sparking widespread media frenzy, rumors, and debates—some outlets even speculated wildly about incest, though both siblings firmly denied anything beyond close family affection.James Haven later clarified in interviews (including one with Daily Mail) that it was “a quick kiss on the lips” to congratulate her—no French kiss, just a simple, loving sibling gesture that got blown out of proportion by the cameras and tabloids. Jolie herself explained it as an expression of deep familial love, noting that their parents (including Jon Voight) actually appreciated the moment amid their complicated family history.
The incident highlighted how intensely the media scrutinized celebrity behavior in the early 2000s, often overshadowing Jolie’s talent and turning a private family bond into global headlines that people still reference today. It remains a classic example of how public affection between siblings can be misinterpreted under the Hollywood spotlight.
