In an interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston’s best friend Courteney Cox claimed: “I don’t think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her.
“There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don’t tell.
“At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction that he fought for a period of time.”
But while Pitt and Jolie spent many years together, it seems there was trouble in paradise.
The FBI became involved following an incident between Pitt and Jolie that is alleged to have taken place on September 14, 2016, on a flight from France to LAX on a private jet with their children, per the BBC.
Following the incident, a representative for the Maleficent star told People: “Angelina Jolie Pitt has filed for dissolution of the marriage. This decision was made for the health of the family. She will not be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be given their privacy during this difficult time.”
While Pitt’s representatives also told People: “He is emphatic that it did not reach the level of physical abuse, that no one was physically harmed.
“He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes, because the confrontation was spiralling out of control.”
It’s now believed that the children have an estranged relationship with their father, while Jolie has blamed some serious health issues on the coupling.
But now, Jolie has hit back at Pitt in a different way.
She’s opened up about the ‘best s**’ she ever had – and, shockingly, it wasn’t with Pitt.
People have been going wild over the name Jolie has dropped instead.
“Women have many secrets only if they want you to know. But you can never know,” one writes.
Another adds: “She boldly voiced it out without shame, seeing as the man [is] very handsome to behold.”
In 1999, Jolie appeared in the thriller, The Bone Collector.
In the film, she plays the role of Amelia Donaghy, a cop who becomes romantically involved with forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme.
Lincoln Rhyme is quadriplegic, meaning that he is affected by paralysis of all four limbs.
The pair team up to try and capture a serial killer, with Donaghy doing the field work and relaying her information back to Rhyme, who is bedbound.
The romance between the pair has to happen on an intellectual and sensory level, as the pair can’t interact physically.
And it appears, for Jolie, this acting challenge was majorly sexy!
Speaking to Dark Horizons shortly after the film’s release, Jolie said that ‘seducing someone with your mind’ was a ‘huge turn-on’.
“What’s fascinating are the journeys these two characters undertake and the deep relationship that evolves between them,” she says.
She even adds: “The best s** I ever had was in this movie.”
However, the filming wasn’t always such a positive experience for Jolie.
She continues: “It was really lonely and I went a bit nuts. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not capable of doing this, of leading a film and being responsible for this, of physically handling this, of saving a life and going in there and being a cop.”
But as for who the ‘best s**’ was with?
Well, it was none other than … Denzel Washington!
