Brad Pitt Confirms It: He And Angelina Jolie Fell In Love While He Was Still Married
I guess the pressure of continually lying to the press and his fans got to be too much for Brad Pitt...on the heels of partner Angelina Jolie telling the world that yes, indeed, they did fall in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (after spending entirely too much energy denying the obvious), he has now said that yep, it happened pretty much when we all thought it did:
Rumours swirled around Pitt and Jolie while they were filming Mr & Mrs Smith in May 2004 - seven months before he split from the former Friends star. In the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Pitt reiterates Jolie's recent confession that they fell in love while making the movie. After being asked why the action film is his favourite film, he explained: 'Because you know... six kids. Because I fell in love.'Well, some might say you fell in heat, Brad, but whatever floats your little boat. His admission comes a couple of months after Angelina Jolie totally decided to stick the knife farther into Jennifer Aniston told the NYT that she looked forward to the day she could show her kids just when she and pseudo-daddy fell in luv:
Nonetheless, she said, she looks forward to the day when she can put “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” in the DVD player for the children; “not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.”So now we have confirmation from both parties involved. Let's recap the timeline:
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith started filming in January 2004 and continued off and on until October 2004.
- Jennifer Aniston and Brad formally separated on January 7, 2005, and she filed for divorce in March 2005.
- As of January 2004, the beginning of filming for Brad and Angelina, Jennifer and Brad were still together, although the marriage was rocky during 2004.
- Brad and Jen were still married during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and were not even separated (although I would also like to point out that separated is still married).
Angelina also spoke about her Father, Jon Voight, with whom she has been estranged for quite some time. Jolie had this to say about her dad, “We don’t really have a relationship, but we’re in contact. And wish each other well. I think we’ve realized there’s been too much discussion. Him discussing me publicly. I’ve had to comment on him. I think it’s best that, if we try to have any relationship in the future, we do it quietly.” Angelina also said she had never been able to view her father’s oscar-winning performance in Coming Home. “Because that was when my father left my mom, and the woman who he cheated on her with is in the film,” Jolie says.Guess that one won't be going in the DVD player for her kids any time soon. However, Angie again has her timeline a bit wonky, because Angelina was born in 1975, her parents separated in 1976, the movie was filmed sometime between 1976 and 1977, when this supposed affair took place, and was released in 1978…you do the math. Oh wait, what else has she said?
And Brad has flat denied any rumors that the relationship began during the movie:Curry: You have said, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that.”
Jolie: Yeah, that’s right.
Curry: That says a lot.
Jolie: Yeah, well, I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
There was no mistaking the onscreen chemistry, but for the first time Brad Pitt has publicly refuted long-standing rumours he cheated on his former wife Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr and Mrs Smith. In a new interview with US talk show host Larry King, the actor hit back at suggestions he began the high profile relationship before his marriage was over. He insisted to the presenter: “Well, that [romance] came after Larry. That came after.” Brad first met his now partner on the set of action film in 2004, and within months, his marriage to America’s Sweetheart Jennifer was over.Whew. Now...what does Jennifer have to say about all this? Not much...which is a refreshing change from Angelina's babbling on and on about how magical she and Brad's relationship is. Jennifer has pretty much taken the high road, but recently she's made a comment or two about how things stand:
In a barbed remark, the actress joked that she goes on holiday with Jolie and Brad Pitt on weekends. 'The funny thing is that people don't realise we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends,' she told the magazine [GQ]. 'No. But can you imagine? That'd be hysterical,' and making a reference to the couple's children, she added: 'I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox....' She also spoke about how she is still in touch with Pitt. 'We don't not talk,' she said. 'When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's always an exchange. But there's no charge on it.' And asked if she talks to Jolie, she retorted: 'No, Nuh-uh.'
I'm sure that people are going to make me out to be a Jennifer fan, and trust me...I'm not. I find her cloying and puerile, I think she has horrible taste in men, and I don't think she's all that great an actress. But she has been remarkably mature in this whole fiasco...more mature than child-hoarding Angelina, 
with her quicksand-like mommy parts, and Bradley, who seems to suffer from a form of environmental dependence syndrome...in this case we might call it relationship dependence syndrome. He mirrors the strongest personality in his life, most of the time whichever woman is in his bed, 
which in this case is Angelina. He likes what she likes because she's the dominant personality. Anybody remember Gwyneth Paltrow?
This might be a controversial statement to make, but I'd be much less likely to rag on Brad and Angie if they'd just come out with the truth to start with. I'm an adult, and while I don't agree with it I realize things happen. But they could have waited until there was an official divorce before starting to move ahead with a relationship, instead of pursuing it while Brad and Jen were still married (and yes...separated is still married). They probably wouldn't have stayed married even if Angelina hadn't come a-calling, but at this point we'll never know for sure. Serial homewrecker Angelina could have held back until the papers were signed, instead of actively pursuing Brad during the movie. Brad could have realized he was being led around by the, uh, emotions, and taken a few steps back. But no...typical of those who don't realize, or care, what they do to others, they wanted what they wanted when they wanted it and how they wanted it and if you don't like it then two fingers up to you. That, I believe, is the basis of the animosity towards Brad and Angelina.
