We've heard both Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston's side of the story, it was time Brad Pitt stepped in to make peace between his ex-wife and the mother of his children.
Trying to put an end to the everlasting "feud" between Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, who reportedly shared Brad Pitt before his divorce from Aniston, the 45-year-old actor sat down with W magazine to discuss his partner and their kids, his ex-wife and least but not last, his most recent movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
Although Angelina Jolie said in past interviews that she and Brad Pitt fell in love while shooting "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," prompting Jennifer Aniston to recently call her comments "uncool" in a Vogue interview, Pitt denied there was any affair going on before he and Jen split up.
Trying to make it even more clear, Pitt said the shooting for the movie lasted a year, and they were still filming after he and Aniston announced their divorce in 2005.
"Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't," he told the magazine for its February issue.
Aniston previously told the magazine that she thought it was "uncool" of Jolie to tell The New York Times that she fell in love with Pitt while filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," when Aniston was still married to the actor.
Both Jolie and Pitt have denied that they began dating during his marriage and Pitt now says that his early relationship with Jolie was "respectful" of his marriage with Aniston.
"I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that's all," he said, agreeing more or less with Jolie's previous comments saying that "not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love," obviously referencing her steamy onscreen role opposite Pitt.
Pitt went on referring to his former wife as "a sweetheart" and calling Vogue a tabloid for emphasizing the whole "uncool" comment.
"Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It's so created," he said.
Meanwhile, Pitt insisted just like Aniston has that the two have managed to maintain an amicable relationship, despite tabloid reports of a supposed rivalry between Aniston and Jolie.
"We still check in with each other," Pitt said. "She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don't see how there cannot be [that]. That's life, man. That's life."
Dishing about his personal photos he snapped of Jolie breastfeeding the couple's newborn twins for the previous cover of the magazine, Pitt said the two have fun working together, which brings them closer, "It’s really sexy to see your loved one through the lens," he said, adding that he "went much further" photographing her, but "I didn’t show those [pictures]."
As far as marriage is concerned, Pitt, who is yet to marry Jolie, echoed his previous statements that all people should be allowed to tie the knot.
"People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying," said the actor, who was famously against the anti-gay marriage initiative Proposition 8. "What if someone said, 'Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.'
