Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s love story is one of the most bitter-sweet tales of Hollywood. From being the most iconic “It” couple, sharing six children, to parting ways following an intense legal battle, the former couple’s personal life is nothing but a roller coaster ride. The couple that does not prefer speaking of each other anymore, once was very vocal about their feelings for each other.

The actress, for instance, has openly declared her strong feelings for Brad Pitt, even when he was married to Jennifer Aniston. At the same time, the Oscar-winning actress also opened up about the time she fell out of love with the Burning After Reading star after watching him perform as a gym trainer in the black comedy spy film.

Angelina Jolie Hated Brad Pitt In A Gym Gear

Angelina Jolie, who won the nasty legal battle against her ex-husband over The Château Miraval winery last year, once openly declared how Brad Pitt‘s role in Burning After Reading made her fall out of love with him. The same was reiterated by Pitt in one of his interviews:

“Angie was really intrigued by Chad. She hasn’t seen it yet. But she saw me in the gym gear and said, ‘This is the first time I can honestly say I’m not attracted to you whatsoever.’ She brings him up a lot. She doesn’t see a lot movies, and she keeps bringing this one up. She’s really curious about Chad Feldheimer.”

The 2008 Joel and Ethan Coen brothers-directed dark comedy feature, starred Brad Pitt as an eccentric gym trainer, Chad Feldheimer, who happens to get his hands on a piece of sensitive information from the CIA and goes on exploiting the agency for profit.

While the movie managed to gross over $163 million worldwide against its $37 million budget, receiving nominations at both the Golden Globes and British Academy Film Awards, it was Pitt’s character, specifically his getup, that turned Jolie off. On the other hand, Pitt agrees to disagree and considers Chad as “one of the most memorable roles” of his career.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie crossed paths at the most vulnerable moments of their life. While Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, the Eternals actress had just separated from Billy Bob Thorton.

Back in time, Jolie revealed that Brad Pitt came as a “surprise” in her life, and both were “not prepared for the relationship” at the time. The former Special Envoy for the UNHCR also expressed her thoughts about Jennifer Aniston and continued:

“And I didn’t know much about exactly where Brad was in his personal life. But it was clear he was with his best friend, someone he loved and respected. And so we were both living, I suppose, very full lives.”
