Nearly 2 decades ago, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were considered Hollywood’s favorite sweethearts. While their marriage seemed perfect on the outside, their personal lives were too good to be true. In fact, just 5 years after tying the knot, the couple ended up splitting as the actor had fallen head over heels for Angelina Jolie. In fact, the FRIENDS star played her cards rather close to her chest and kept her private life private.
Although Aniston chose to stay away from the drama, she ended up being sucked into it when Pitt and Jolie ended up in a controversial photoshoot. After that, the 55-year-old ended up giving her fans some insight into the actor’s personality.
Jennifer Aniston opens up about Brad Pitt’s thoughtless personality
In pictures, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt may have looked like the perfect pair. However, just 5 years into their marriage, there was trouble in paradise. Although the sitcom star had chosen to stay mum on the subject of her ex-husband, a photoshoot from W magazine titled, ‘Domestic Bliss’ with him and Angelina Jolie pushed her over the edge. In an interview with Variety, the actress pointed out some flaws in the now 60-year-old’s character.
Is it odd timing? Yeah. But it’s not my life. He makes his choices. He can do—whatever. We’re divorced, and you can see why.
Aniston continued, “I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it.” The actress explained, “Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, ‘Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate.’ But I know Brad. Brad would say, ‘That’s art!’” Although the star was trying to find reasons for his insensitivity, she wound up admitting, “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing.”
While Pitt’s actions may have hurt more than Aniston let on, it seems to have not affected their friendship after all these years. In fact, the actress even once praised his cameo on FRIENDS.
