The overly intimate kiss between actress Angelina Jolie and her brother – James Haven has become a controversial moment over the years. At the 2000 Oscars, Angelina Jolie was 24 years old, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie “Girl Interrupted”.

When she stepped onto the stage to accept her award, Jolie spoke about her feelings for her brother, saying that she was “very much in love with him.” Later, at the Oscars after-party, a photographer captured the moment when the two of them had an intimate kiss on the lips, as if it were a kiss between two lovers. There have been many rumors about their relationship.

Jolie later spoke out to deny those “horrible” rumors. Jolie once said: “First of all, my brother and I are best friends. Our kiss was not a kiss between a couple. It’s disappointing that something beautiful and innocent is turned into a joke. It was a magical moment but completely misunderstood.”

In addition, Jolie also added that at that time, James Haven was about to undergo a course of anti-cancer treatment and she wanted to show her love and full support to encourage her brother’s treatment.

James Haven also spoke out: “I didn’t kiss my sister like a girlfriend, it was just a simple and cute kiss. My sister was about to go away to film, I congratulated her on winning an important award. It was just a quick kiss on the lips, but that moment was captured and suddenly became a big story.”
