Brad Pitt just can’t seem to keep quiet about his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston. It makes no sense to me, since he was the one that left the relationship. Why doesn’t he just let it die?
For whatever reason, every so often he feels the need to talk about it, which is exactly what he did to Parade magazine recently.
Pitt said, “I spent the ’90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic.” That must have been a dig at both then-girlfriend Gwenyth Paltrow (whom he dated from 1994 until 1997) and Aniston (whom he met in 1998).
To continue, he then said, “It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself.”
The really bad part about Aniston came when he said, “I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.” You have to remember that this is the man that Aniston once claimed was missing a “sensitivity chip.” I’d have to agree at this point.
Pitt then told the interviewer, “I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much.” He continued to gush about Jolie, saying, “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom,” and “Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”
Now, in Pitt’s own defense, he did later retract the comments about Aniston. He issued a statement which read, “It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for.”
I don’t know about you, but I am rather over the whole Pitt/Aniston thing and more than over the Pitt/Jolie thing. Live your lives and be happy, but spare us the details!
