In an interview with W magazine, Brad Pitt kept the Jen vs. Angelina train rolling by continuing to comment on a story that really needs to just go away once and for all.
In November Jennifer Aniston told a journalist that an earlier comment from Jolie—that she and Pitt fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and so the film “might mean something more than we’d earlier allowed ourselves to believe”—was “uncool,” because Aniston and Pitt were still married during filming. “Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart,” Pitt says, as if to settle this thing once and for all. “I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created.”When Pitt says the whole feud is "so created," he's completely right: it was created by him and then perpetuated by his current wife for talking about when they met in an interview with a major publication. What the hell did he expect? Don't start blaming writers and magazines for the words that come out of your own mouths.A few sentences into the next topic, though, Pitt circles back to defend Jolie’s honor. “What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year,” he explains. “We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. 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.”
On another note, as someone who had to actually sit through Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I'd appreciate it if Brad and Angelina would stop referring lovingly to their experience on the set of that cinematic travesty and talking about how special it will be for their children to watch. Maybe if they had spent a little more time reading over the script and a little less time hooking up it wouldn't have been such a bloated piece of Hollywood shit. One day their children will sit down and watch it and gently attempt to tell their parents they should never work together again.
