Angelina Jolie makes first public appearance since double mastectomy

Actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were reported by the New York Post to have been seen together in London, England on Sunday night at the premiere of Pitt’s zombie thriller “World War Z" making it the first time Jolie has made a public appearance since announcing her double mastectomy last month.

The couple looked stunning as they walked the red carpet in matching black while they signed autographs for fans in Leicester Square.

The movie “World War Z” has been reported to be one of the summer’s bigest movie blockbusters where Pitt stars as a United Nations employee battling to save the world.

Pitt told BBC News before the screening, the film is sure to keep movie goers glued to their seats. “I think it's pretty much the most intense film you're going to see all summer,” Pitt said.

Two of the couple’s six children Maddox, 11 and Pax, 8, were allowed to see the PG15 rated movie who Pitt also said is “going to be the scariest movie of the summer.”

Jolie told reporters at the premiere, "I feel great." It was last month when Jolie wrote an Op-Ed for the New York Times revealing she was carrying the inherited BRCA1 cancer gene. Doctors told her the gene would put her at a higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer.

For that reason, Jolie made the decision to have a double mastectomy one week after her aunt Debbie Martin, 61, died after her battle with breast cancer. Jolie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand died from ovarian cancer at just 56-years-old.

Pitt told the BBC during his premiere in London that Jolie’s surgery has been “a very moving experience.”
