Brad Pitt “despised” Aniston after 6 weeks

By Alexandra Heilbron on March 14, 2008 | 23 Comments


Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt in 2000According to a co-star, Brad Pitt knew that his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was in trouble after just six weeks. Omid Djalili worked alongside Pitt in the 2000 movie Spy Game. Djalili told the Daily Express that he gave Pitt marriage advice: “I did a scene with Brad in the back of a taxi and it was only a few days after he had married Jennifer. I chatted to him for hours giving him advice about the three stages of marriage. Stage one is perfection – blind love. Stage two is the difficult stage because you start to despise everything about her. If you can deal with the baggage you can possibly get to stage three – a harmonious marriage. After six weeks Brad came up to me and said, ‘I’m definitely in stage two, Omid!'” Looks like Pitt gave the potential “harmonious marriage” a shot anyway, hoping for “stage three,” but eventually the couple wound up divorcing.

    Ok — so it didn’t work out for Brad and Jennifer — it happens ! — but the “despise” tag to it all is misleading and sensationalistic — so what else is new !

    I’ve despised her ever since I first saw her on tv! Well, not “despised”, that is a little strong, I guess I’ve always “disliked” her. He’s not bad though, although I think Angelina wears the pants in that family.

    Honestly so what if brad despised her, honestly they have been divorce for so long, get over it

    Wow that outfit Anniston is wearing. Who can concentrate on the article.

  7. Igloo • March 14, 2008 @ 5:46 PM

    I have to say tribute girl has probably got it right. Angelina is too tough for poor Brad to handle. I would definetly say that Angelina wears the hip huggers in the family now.

    Thanks, Igloo, I think you are my new BFF! Now that Nancy seems to have gone. I hope she comes back.

    Who cares.. Brad was an Asshole anyways

    Jennifer Aniston, surely a “nice” enough girl, was wrong (so was Paltrow). Sure they look like the perfect couple (appearances) but Aniston comes across as a girl who has dreamed the fairytale life too long. NEWS FLASH….Fairytales are fiction meant to devert and entertain. I haven’t aspired to be a little pig, nor prince charming. There is a life out there, and it hasn’t heard of bed-bath-and beyond, or candle parties, or weekend in the Hamptons. Thank god for Angelina…adventureous, dedicated, socially conscious, and smoking freaking hot 🙂
    Betty or Veronica…I like Brad’s choice.

    I think that both jen and brad are great actors and people,they just cant be married like alot of people ,they should still be friends .As for Angelina .sorry guys but i think she is just to into her self and brad follows her around like a puppy dog,which makes him look bad .i think he should give her ,her walking papers.She should just be married to her self and nobody else ,and take her fat lips with her,when she goes and leave Brad and Jen alone.

    JEN is extremely sexy in that picture and
    well.. every picture she is in.

    Thats it. Everything else who cares.

    Yeah, I’m supposed to listen to some hack, attention-whore actor who is clearly just trying to see his own name alongside Brad Pitt’s in the news. Yawn.

    Of all the Jennifer’s in Hollywood he picked the least attractive one!

  17. Kate • March 16, 2008 @ 5:29 PM

    It’s called a BRA, Jennifer — give one a try.

    Well, I despised JA after about 10 minutes of watching Friends. Couldn’t stand her or the show. But hey, thanks igloo and tributegirl for the compliments!

  20. tributegirl • March 17, 2008 @ 1:05 AM

    The Nancy comment on March 16 @ 9:34 pm was made by our mentally challenged “Double”.

  22. Nancy • March 19, 2008 @ 1:30 AM

    Rocket science, double! Rocket science….
