When Jolie and Pitt first connected on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, their on-screen chemistry quickly evolved into a real-life relationship.
The pair spent 12 years together and have six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19—who were adopted from Cambodia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia, respectively—Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
However, in September 2016, the actress known for her role in Girl, Interrupted, filed for divorce.
Now, Jolie is taking a swipe at her ex, the star of Fight Club, by publicly declaring who provided the ‘best s**’ she ever had—and it wasn’t Brad.
The beginning of Jolie and Pitt’s relationship was surrounded by controversy. At the time they met, Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
Reportedly, during this period, the star of Babylon admitted to having feelings for Jolie.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston’s close friend Courteney Cox stated, “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.”
While Pitt and Jolie were together for many years, their relationship faced significant challenges.
The FBI got involved after an alleged altercation between Pitt and Jolie on September 14, 2016, during a flight from France to LAX on a private jet with their children, according to the BBC.
Following this event, a spokesperson for Jolie 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.”
Pitt’s representatives also spoke to People, stating: “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.”
The divorce between Jolie and Pitt has certainly been fraught with difficulties.
There is now a belief that the children are somewhat distant from their father, and Jolie has attributed some significant health issues to the stress of their relationship.
However, Jolie has recently responded to Pitt in a unique way.
She revealed the ‘best s**’ she ever had—and, surprisingly, it was not with Pitt.
This revelation has sparked a frenzy, with people eager to know who Jolie named instead.
“Women have many secrets only if they want you to know. But you can never know,” one person commented.
Another remarked: “She boldly voiced it out without shame, seeing as the man [is] very handsome to behold.”
In 1999, Jolie starred in the thriller “The Bone Collector.”
In the movie, she portrays Amelia Donaghy, a police officer who develops a romantic connection with Lincoln Rhyme, a forensics expert.
Lincoln Rhyme is portrayed as quadriplegic, affected by paralysis affecting all four limbs.
The duo teams up to catch a serial killer in “The Bone Collector,” with Donaghy conducting the fieldwork and reporting back to Rhyme, who is confined to his bed.
Their romance unfolds on an intellectual and sensory level since physical interaction isn’t possible.
For Jolie, this role presented a uniquely appealing challenge.
In an interview with Dark Horizons following the movie’s release, Jolie commented on the allure of mental seduction, stating 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 noted.
She added: “The best s** I ever had was in this movie.”
Yet, filming wasn’t always a positive experience for Jolie.
“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.”
And as for her revelation about the ‘best s**’?
It was with none other than… Denzel Washington!
