The never ending saga of Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie triangle was entered into again, this time by Brad himself.
Whether he meant to or not, Pitt gave the impression he felt his life was uninspired when he was married to the Horrible Bosses star.
“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony,” he told Parade magazine. “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic.”
“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,” Pitt continued. “I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
This caused a backlash towards the actor whose words many interpreted to put his marriage to Aniston in a negative light.
Pitt released another statement to clarify that he wasn’t referring to his time with Jennifer as being dull but that he was the one who became pedestrian.
“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way,” Pitt said. “Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. 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 think Pitt lives in a pretty isolated world to not understand that his original statement would be seen the way it was. He connects his dissatisfaction with his marriage, but he does not ever say it was Jennifer that was the cause.
It almost seems to me he’s trying to say he loved Jen but wasn’t in love with her or the life they had together. That happens to many people.
How do you see it?
