Brad Pitt says he did all he could do to ease Jennifer Aniston‘s pain before leaving her ass for Angelina Jolie during their split.
“The most important thing to me about that time was for Jen and me to figure out if… we didn’t want to go on with any outside influence: `Is this where we get off? Have we taken this as far as we wanted to go?’ “Those questions had to be answered before an attraction to Angie could be answered.” He adds, “I don’t know how better to have handled it. The thing guiding me then was you don’t know how many days you have, and you need life to be everything you need it to be.”
Brad and Angelina have always maintained that nothing happened between them before he and Aniston split. Maybe physically, however, it’s clear that a deep connection had already developed between them while working together on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and that had to be painful for Jennifer to watch.
