His relationships stage managed?


It is quite curious how everyone he dated were on the exact same trajectory as him and they all ended as he was going up. You could argue that Aniston was bigger than him at the time they started going out. When he dumped her for Ange they were both probably number one best looking actors in Hollywood at that moment.

There was also that thing of him having the exact same haircut as his girlfriends. J Lewis was and up and coming star, then Paltrow was a bit classier and not quite a list yet, then Jen was biggest TV star and then he outgrew her and needed an A list actress which Jolie was at the time, it all fits nicely

His origins are fishy as well, i remember a crappy eChannel doc years ago on his rise and they skirt over the very beginning when he latched onto an older producer while he was a waiter and even lived in his mansion for a year, c'mon we all know what went down there. Brads ass got torn to smithereens.

He has always come off to me as quite hollow in interviews, not a bad person but not a real person. I do believe that he sold his ass and he's a little bit of an A sexual who will just go out with and do what his handlers tell him to do, think about it he doesn't really do love scenes does he and the few he has come off bit awkward, even when acting with real life 'lovers' there is little chemistry

I've no doubt he did whatever he thought necessary - like many actors and actresses - to get work early in his Hollywood career.

As regards love scenes, I know what you mean. I feel the same about Christian Bale.

Absolutely they would as would probably more than would care to admit.

My point though is that his career feels more like its been guided by tabloids than by the work. He has that manufactured pop star vibe of being completely controlled down to who he marries.

He has made some good films and i don't hate him by any means but i don't think he is a great actor and i think the brand of Brad Pitt most perfect beautiful man is his real job role rather than serious actor who has control over his life

I've read that Hollywood marriages are essentially limited contracts. They sign contract to be married for a certain amount of years, which includes publicity. And then it ends, in so-called "divorce". There are exceptions though, like John Krasinski, Emily Blunt. I believe they truly love each other.

Hollywood is a farce. Nothing can be believed. That's why it's make believe.

I dont know about marriages but I know actors like Leo have ironclad "kiss and tell" contracts that are insanely heavy and not to be fucked with.
