Hollywood couples are the reason for some of the hottest gossip in the industry. F.R.I.E.N.D.S alum Jennifer Aniston and Fight Club actor Brad Pitt were also one of the hottest couples in H-town. The two never starred in a movie together while they were married but they did have a chance…after their divorce.
Nothing bad ever happened during or after their divorce. And yet, Jennifer Aniston did not think it would be a good idea to share an on-screen romance with her ex-husband in the 2009 movie The Time Traveler’s Wife.
Jennifer Aniston Could Have Been The Time Traveler’s Wife
Being married in 2000, Brad Pitt and the Murder Mystery actress parted ways in 2005. During their years of togetherness, both actors never appeared on the screen together. After they parted ways, however, Pitt and Aniston were offered a romantic/sci-fi movie to star in together.
According to the screenwriter of the 2009 movie The Time Traveler’s Wife, he had already cast the couple as lead actors in the movie at the time of writing. In an interview with Access, Bruce Joel Rubin talked about what the movie could have been if Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston would have been cast as Henry and Clare.
“I saw them as Henry and Clare. I just did. They just seemed like a perfect version of Henry and Clare. I just found them equally attractive, equally competing in terms of the Hollywood sort of arena at that moment in time. They were as good a couple as you could find and I thought that I would’ve loved to have seen them together in a movie.”
Before their divorce, the couple never shared an on-screen duo role together. Jennifer Aniston stated that she did not think it was a good idea that they star in a movie together since she was afraid of getting more attention than what was necessary.
Jennifer Aniston Never Shared The Screen With Brad Pitt
In an interview, the We’re The Millers actress revealed that she made a conscious decision not to share the screen with Brad Pitt when they were married. Stating the reason to be excessive spotlight and attention, Aniston stated that someday in the future, she may share the screen with Brad Pitt.
“That would be just asking for trouble. You wouldn’t even see the movie, because it would be too much of a show in another way. Maybe years down the line, if the right thing came along, of course, we’d love to. Ocean’s Twenty, maybe,”
As for the 2009 movie, Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams starred in the lead roles in the movie. Brad Pitt served as the executive producer as the movie went on to receive a rating of 7.1/10 on IMDB and a meager 38% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Time Traveler’s Wife is available to rent on Apple TV+.
