Angelina Jolie Told Pat O’Brien She Was ‘Really Horny’ In A Beverly Hills Elevator, Veteran Reporter Claims In New Tell-All

Love in an elevator! Well, not quite.
As a longtime entertainment reporter, Pat O’Brien has exchanged pleasantries with many A-list celebrities. But he got especially up close and personal with Angelina Jolie off the red carpet at the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills.
One afternoon after Jolie’s 2002 split from husband Billy Bob Thornton, O’Brien ran into the wild Oscar-winner in the swanky hotel’s elevator
‘’I said, ‘What’s up, baby?’” the former Access Hollywood host, who had interviewed Hollywood’s bad girl many times before, writes in his juicy new tell-all, I’ll Be Back Right After This. “And she said with a wink, ‘I’m trying to find this guy I kind of know because I’m really horny right now.’”
The reporter then made his move— or at least charmed her with his humor.
“I joked that she had my number and we laughed,” he continues.
The 66-year-old also claims he had a strong professional relationship with Jolie’s actor father Jon Voight, who turned to the reporter when he wanted to speak out about his daughter’s strange behavior in August 2002.
“I want to talk to you about my daughter. I’m brokenhearted,” O’Brien claims Voight said privately over coffee at Art’s Deli in California’s San Fernando Valley. “That’s the reason I’m here. I feel I can trust you as a journalist.”
The actor later went on camera to discuss the then 27-year-old Jolie’s “psychic pain” and “serious mental problems” while sobbing in an exclusive interview.
“If Voight felt that he was going to win his daughter back by this TV confessional, he was sadly mistaken,” the reporter writes.
The father-daughter pair only ended their subsequent feud eight years later.
“Being reunited with my Angie is very precious to me,” Voight, 75, said in 2011.
