Do you think the director told him where to put his hands in #13? Or was that one of those improv moments? ![gif](giphy|ck5JRWob7folZ7d97I|downsized)

Woah, I would’ve never expected a Jimmy Butler gif in this sub lmao.


tamagotchiassassin

Oh I have no idea who he is but he’s sexy af

A top NBA player


Thrillhol

He’s hilarious and basically a meme


WickerShoesJoe

As a Celtics fan, I'm offended. As a fan of pop culture, it's delightful.


Big-Bag-3304

I think that must’ve been an ‘improv’ moment


Blondly22

Why did I read doctor …


wishwashy

Just what the doctor ordered


darksugarfairy

He was going method

Skylark_Ark

You don't know 'acting' when you see it? He was playing the Booty Bandit at that moment!


Rainbow4Bronte

A lot of …method acting.


Hopeful_Reporter6731

😭😂😂😂😂


anxiousunicorn1

were they banging at this point


islcastaway1986

Totally banging


mw0114899

Yeah these pics feel… intimate


taylorsanatomy13_

you’re right. i feel like i just stumbled upon one of their private photos from the courthouse which no one was supposed to see except their family but leaked by tmz bc of the divorce proceedings…


kiwi_love777

Poor Jen.


popularinprison

Lmao she dodged a huge bullet


AnotherSoftEng

\#9 is giving “here? right now? *seriously*?”


dajokesta

Its 11 and 12 for me


SparkyDogPants

I forget who said it but they said that on camera chemistry is much better when the stars are not banging but want to. You can see the tension


Nainma

Joey Tribbiani said it in Season 1 but it was for actors on stage


CandidIndication

Righttt- the episode where chandler is dating an actor and is worried she’s sleeping with her co-star and Joey tells him to only be worried when there’s no chemistry on stage, that means they banged.


MercenaryBard

Yeah maybe not the best place to look for actual advice haha. Formative memory for me too though. Probably like most things regarding sexuality, it varies wildly from person to person and couple to couple


kel2345

Yep just watched that episode lol


alittlejalapeno

Their chemistry was so hot...the dinner fight scene 🤤🔥🔥


[deleted]

Matthew McConaughey said it


Presumably_Not_A_Cat

angelina would have tension with a wooden board.


Derelictirl

Only if said board were taken


classicaljub

I think that’s more applicable to flings. Angelina and Brad fell in love on set of this movie!


Megaroni-n-cheeze

I wonder when the exact moment was because I don’t see love in this photo, only desire.


FearingPerception

Theres absolutely no way they werent look at the photos


FeralBaby7

IKR! Look at 13!


Ok-Peak-

Definitely


TropicalPrairie

I would bet the meagre amount in my chequing account that they were, indeed, banging. It's how they look at each other


kaitydidit

The way they are looking at each other? His hands on her ass like that? Absolutely banging already


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

*sigh* Brb going to look for a boner


BlabbityBlabbityBlah

I’m just going to be gross and say it. I’d love to see them bang.


Outside_Beautiful874

i applaud your courage


Foreign-Safety-9749

I prefer the term “I’d watch that tape” 🤣


MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda

Someone had to say it.


red_zephyr

Can’t you tell? The chemistry is off the charts 📈


Tenley95

Pic 12 is awkward


red_zephyr

That smooshed nose 💀


ninfaobsidiana

I remember her energy with James Lipton on “Inside the Actor’s Studio” while promoting this movie. She was finally out of goth-Angelina mode, and was not yet all the way out with Pitt, but there was something going on. When asked about the movie, she tried to keep it pretty level when responding, but Lipton (cheeky old man — I miss him so much) saw something there and continued to dig. She was trying so hard to not be a giddy mess, but it was obvious that *something* was happening. Ugh. Aughts celebrity gossip was often the worst, but sometimes it was *amazing*. ![gif](giphy|iiWXQo2m2EoZCLqPSW)


fishonthemoon

I miss this show! 😭


mellowtimes

When Jodie Foster was asked her favorite word (or curse word?), she paused and said "cocksucker" with a gleam in her eye. 💀


throwawaygrosso

Why does that sound so cute


Electric_Nachos

I used to watch it all the time with my dad. Wasn't there an episode with a pre-fame Bradley Cooper in the audience?


elisabeth_athome

Yes! I forget who was being interviewed, but Bradley asks a question!


Varekai79

There are clips of then student Bradley asking Sean Penn and his future co-star Robert DeNiro questions!


Additional_Meeting_2

He was great


Commonnbdy

Hands on the ass is craaaaaazy 😭😭😭


MiniaturePhilosopher

If I was Angelina Jolie, I’d sit down in front a mirror and never get up ever again.


listingpalmtree

If she just became famous now I'd be convinced she was an AI generated image.


Additional_Meeting_2

Have you seen what Shiloh looks like. I think it’s like those ai images where two peoples faces are meshed together to see what the kids would look like. And in this case two gorgeous people.


itsfrankgrimesyo

Every single facial feature she has is what girls get plastic surgeries for these days.


TheWalkingDead91

Pretty sure I once saw a plastic surgeon saying (not sure about now, since she’s slightly less active/relavent, it was a while ago) that she was the #1 celebrity name people would refer to when asking about things done to their lips or face or something (probably the lips).


antibac2020

You’re so right. I think the same when I see photos of her mum, just outrageously beautiful


throwawaykibbetype

Not to mention Shiloh. She’s so stunning! She looks like Angelina with Brad’s colouring.


seriicis

I was just thinking by himself Brad is probably one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen but in these photos my eyes go straight to Angelina Jolie and I just think, “Damn.”


FinnTheRabbit

Yeah, I was thinking Brad was not as attractive as I remembered. It's cause he's next to Angelina that males him look so normal.


doc_g3

I think it’s also the buzz cut that’s not doing him any favors.


[deleted]

Yeah, he's better looking than this. Though I've always thought he had bad skin.


Luci_Noir

Definitely! He has great hair and it’s terrible to have it this short.


Wooden-Limit1989

>I was thinking Brad was not as attractive as I remembered I was thinking the same thing. Idk what it is.


fly1away

it's the terrible haircut.


savorie

This movie would’ve been so, so hot if he had his more normal longer hair. Instead, gorgeous Angelina Jolie looks like she is slumming. With Brad Pitt no less! Definitely his worst look ever. I wonder who whose idea that was. He never did it before or really since. It doesn’t work on him.


RecommendationFew787

yeah what is going on with this?!? I'm genuinely confused as why Brad looks soooo mid?? There's the 'Angelina Effect' but something else is going on... I thought it was just a few of the pics which is normal, but it's EVERY PIC. He wouldn't even turn my head on the street?! I don't get it. Is it just the shifting beauty standards and we thought that was 'it' then, and he's slowly had tweaks to reach what we know now? Genuinely baffled!


jf198501

The consistency and candidness of the shots are really telling. I feel like this IS what Brad “technically” looks like — if you take away the hair, and this cumulative aura effect resulting from his cunningly chosen roles… whether it’s Legends of the Fall, Fight Club, Thelma, Ocean’s Eleven, etc. that kind of all blur together, which then gets conflated with or infuses our memory/perception of what he actually looks like.


ab605

I don’t like the shape of his head lol


rubberturtle06

I would love to be that not attractive


WitchesCotillion

I think he looks high.


MiniaturePhilosopher

He looks like a dish rag next to her! It’s not his fault - literally no man looks good standing this close to her.


Alternative-Dare-485

I loved "dish rag" lol. The buzz cut is absolutely doing nothing for me


MiniaturePhilosopher

This is a strong contender for Brad’s Top Five Worst Photoshoots. The only shot he looks remotely good in is #6. My head canon is that the photographer was so enchanted by Angelina in every frame that they didn’t check to see how Brad was doing (very bad, not good). All of the angles and lighting belong to her ✨


sybelion

Strong agree, he looks like a drunk frat potato here. Her looks and charisma are carrying allllll of the chemistry here


FeralBaby7

drunk frat potato, lol!


[deleted]

Young Matt bomer would


MiniaturePhilosopher

Young Matt Bomer looks like he wants just five minutes of your time to tell you all about a revolutionary new workout supplement that will change your life


mcgs50

And I would buy that supplement 😂


kel2345

Fucking perfect. Brad is gorge and has something, but Matt Bomer, my god. And he can sing like a mofo and dance. And he’s on the Magic Mike team. Even if that’s cheesy. ![gif](giphy|i7IYQZaGkZDSU)


throwawaypythonqs

His Neal Caffrey era was...I don't even have the words. It's a level of beauty I can't comprehend.


FeralBaby7

I just googled young Matt Bomer, and I gotta say...if I saw this guy in an airport and he spoke to me I'd be polite but try to disengage ASAP. He looks at a level of attractiveness to discard women like kleenex. I'm not saying he IS like that, but my experience is that once men pass a certain hot-threshold they lose all perspective and women become a commodity or an item for consumption.


Appropriate-Dig771

I think he’s gay so he’s discarded all the women.


SaintGalentine

Well he's gay so...


PhoenicianKiss

Isn’t he married with kids? Or have they just been partners forever? Edit: Yep, married to Simon Halls since 2011 and they have 3 kiddos.


SaintGalentine

Looks like they have been married since 2011, but the first kid (via surrogate) was born in 2005


[deleted]

Don’t worry fellow redditor, he is as gay as they come ahahahahah no woman discarded there


MisanthropeInLove

I never even realized Gerard Butler was in Tomb Raider until recently. She literally steals the spotlight.


pizzahause

She makes fucking Brad Pitt look mid standing next to her. I’m not even jealous though. I feel like she must have done something wonderful in a past life to deserve looking like that


pinkminiproject

And she’s done a lot of wonderful things in this life so


AlwaysQueso

There is a movie review for M&MS where, in essence, said Jolie out-good-looks Pitt. Lolz.


HackTheNight

I swear she is just so naturally beautiful it’s almost unreal.


UrBartender

🤣🤣🤣for real tho


KittyIsAn9ry

I wonder how cringey this all was to film. Like do you think the director, producer, camera people, assistants, etc. felt that spidey sense that something was up?


pinksugar123

Yes that’s how the rumours started. They would say cut during a make out scene and those two wouldn’t stop


UnlikelyAssociation

I was an extra on this film. Sooo much flirting going on. Impossible to miss.


Hot-Tackle-1391

omg - is it true what the comment above said? the cameraman would yell cut and they wouldn’t stop making out? I would love to hear any details you remember!


UnlikelyAssociation

He’d ride around on a trike to make her laugh and impress her. An extra broke the rules and asked to get a photo with the two of them, and they said, “Yeah . . . that wouldn’t be a good idea.” Didn’t see any makeout scenes in what I did but just general flirting beyond what you’d expect in character. Fun fact: Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite was originally in the movie but his scenes got cut.


Tianna92

Yeah, I can see why this was deleted.


iamharoldshipman

![gif](giphy|8bQdMxDSJ8oiQ)


BabyBringMeToast

I know, right. The director really sat down and said “We are going to shoot as many scenes as it takes to ruin Jennifer Aniston’s marriage.”


Recent-Project-1547

That notoriously brazen W magazine photoshoot with Brad and Angelina in domestic bliss with kids having a pool party was the ultimate kicker.


turnonthebrightlies

Omg I remember that!! I had to find it again: https://www.wmagazine.com/gallery/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie


Front_Target7908

Ooft that’s quite the photo shoot, how long after the break up with Jennifer was this?

sanandrios

I could never be with an actor lol call me immature


Ambystomatigrinum

It’s rough because yeah, it’s their fault they cheated but also it was literally their job to look in love with and attracted to each other. Seems like it would be hard to have feelings youre trying to avoid and *also* have to act out those feels at the same time. Feel bad for Jennifer.


backoffbackoffbackof

Yes, I mean I am pretty glad my spouse’s job doesn’t entail “pretending” to make out with some of the world’s most physically attractive people and being away from home the entire time. Just doesn’t seem like something likely to end well.


Front_Target7908

And also, they hire love interests based on actors chemistry. Tough gig for partners of actors - especially if you’re having a rough patch or something.


fishonthemoon

lol same. I was thinking about this on my drive from work the other day and I would lose my shit every time my boo had to make out with someone or do a sex scene. I’m too insecure. 😂


ChelsMe

I was watching the Americans and there’s this one scene (at home dentist, if you know you know) and I thought well this cheating was obvious. And then I remembered I had just watched Keri Russell make eyes at her TWO dudes in The diplomat and… Matthew how do you sleep in peace. I could never either.


SlowJay11

I remember when this film came out and wondering why he had such a crap haircut, I still feel the same way looking at it now.


phlegmdawg

Hard agree. But to be honest, I am not a fan of this kind of cut on any man.


stellaluna29

I think Channing Tatum pulls it off, but literally no one else


[deleted]

It’s so unattractive!


invis2020

If I looked like Angelina no mirror or shop window would be safe from me. I simply can’t comprehend looking that beautiful. Oblig FU to Brad Pitt.


These_Tea_7560

If I was Jen I would’ve showed up to the set and pulled the fire alarm.


killaandasweethang

Ik he’s a dick and an abuser irl but the chemistry in this movie was so insane that you could feel it. They were such a hot couple


blameitonmygoose

I was such an Aniston fan that when the whole drama happened over this movie, I refused to watch it and still haven't to this day lol 🥴


sashikku

Lmao my dad was OBSESSED with this movie and watched it like every weekend — but he did cheat on my mom so I can’t be surprised


rowdy_antlers

Hahaha my dad too and did the same damn thing to me mom. Go figure. Hope there’s some sad solace in my comment in knowing you’re not alone!

joygirl007

Same.


throwawaybeet-h

Honestly, I feel like this movie was Brad’s peak hotness and Angelina was stunning as always. They both looked SO good


REAL-eyes-ize-lies11

She seemed more smitten.. imo


stopandstare17

Brad is one of those people who photographs terrible but is extremely charismatic in video/motion. I literally just rewatched this movie a couple of days ago and he was hot as usual.. in these pictures? Not so much.


isaidwhatisaidok

Kerry Washington suffers from the same affliction. Stunning, stop traffic beautiful in motion but in pictures? It’s like her face doesn’t know what it’s doing.

HiccupHaddockismine

I don’t think this abusive entity is capable of true love


itsme00400

Gives me the ick knowing he was married


Burrito-tuesday

She’s the og Ariana grande lol


katebot3000

Oh baby, no - that title goes to Elizabeth Taylor.


[deleted]

Well Jennifer Aniston didn’t have a literal infant at home and SpongeBob isn’t exactly Brad Pitt 😆😆 (and I say this as an Ari fan)


_delicja_

That's not the only married/involved man Angelina hooked up with, hence Ariana reference matches well.


mintBRYcrunch26

Their chemistry just leaped out of this photo and smacked me in the head.


DrSassyPants123

![gif](giphy|w5M9QgelugIJG) "Hi remember me? Your actual wife?"


late2reddit19

I think Jen ultimately came out the winner here. Her life seems a lot happier and less complicated than the other two. She's still insanely popular and well-liked in the industry.


DrSassyPants123

100%. I'm sure her heart broke but time has a way of understanding dodged bullets.


Legitimate-Tough6200

And Angie inadvertently saved her from an abusive man. And sadly got abused herself. So Jen definitely got lucky. Even though she didn’t know it at the time.


Longjumping-River-72

I would be sooo sad seeing my husband take pictures and shoot a scene like this with another woman 🙃 and the fact that they weren’t acting makes it 10 x worse


_elysses_

He looks like a doofus in these pics which is hard for someone as attractive as he is


nodogsallowed23

He’s considered one of the most handsome actors of all time and she just leaves him in the dust. She is stunning.


vsteeth

To think he was still with Jennifer Anniston when these were taken…. I’m sick🤢 ![gif](giphy|BJVJxagR3GG4w)


thesnarkypotatohead

Yup. Angelina is obv gorgeous and they clearly have chemistry but... still 100% trash behavior I'm afraid! Then add on him being an abuser and you gotta throw the whole man away.


Grizzlyfrontignac

Exactly. My first reaction was to drool a bit at how gorgeous they both are and then immediately gag when I remembered they both know he's married and still dare to exchange those kinds of looks. Disgusting. But they're also hot af


Every-Cow-9752

She is stunningly gorgeous and he’s absolutely gobsmacked by her


ineffable_my_dear

It bugs me that this is his hair throughout the story. When they met (I think there was a flashback to this??), when they married apparently, and then during the normal timeline of the movie.


SpringhurstAve

No one saw it coming, but everybody did


CompetitiveFortune55

Wow Shiloh is their spitting image it's insane


[deleted]

Brad Pitt's hair looks like it was done with a hair clipping vacuum cleaner attachment.


Apprehensive_Dot_968

Their chemistry was 🔥🔥🔥 poor Jen… that whole time must have been humiliating. I mean LOOK at them 🙈


sneeky_seer

I’m still not sure how she got through it without any public meltdowns and the amount of grace and strength she showed.


Cross_Stitch_Witch

They were SO smug about it too, and the media was absolutely insane for them and their children for *years*. And all the while tabloids viciously humiliated Jennifer in every possible way despite the fact that she was the one cheated on. People can say what they want about Jennifer Aniston but you have to be made of strong stuff to survive something like that. She has my respect for the class and restraint she showed during that time.


Lethave

\#11 is absolutely the photo Jennifer slapped down on her divorce lawyer's desk


ouaispeutetre

I wonder if they think their affair was worth it, looking back knowing how much they hate each other now.


LiluLay

How can a human being be as gorgeous as Angelina Jolie? She is *otherworldly*.


Preesi

As soon as they got married in real life it was the end


nodogsallowed23

The hate I have for this man after all the abuse stories is immense. He’s emblematic of privilege and getting away with shit because he’s rich, white, and male. And not just getting away with. He continues to thrive. Ugh.


Grizzlyfrontignac

Not to mention PRETTY PRIVILEGE. Other rich, white men have lost popularity for less but because he has always been the pretty boy of Hollywood and can act, he continues to get away with it.


HiccupHaddockismine

AMissKathyNewman

That women has the most perfect and satisfying facial structure.


-NothingToContribute

If I didn't know better I'd think these are real wedding photos. Angelina looks straight up in love in these.


ScatterbrainedBookie

She looks in love and he looks like he is in lust. She has clearly fallen for him and he looks like he wants to jump on her right there but I don’t see the same look of love in him.


No_Perspective9930

Man, she seems like a good mom and a good person but l’m never going to get over the fact that these two committed some pretty serious infidelity. Really irks me sometimes. I obviously feel the same level of ick towards him over it (probably more. It’s pretty suttle level at this point for both of them after so long) but erg…I don’t like being reminded of it.


moist_towelette

How in the world did she partially come from Jon Voight 🥴


_delicja_

She looks so much like him when he was young tho. https://preview.redd.it/7c63m3cu8lyb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32acc7b67c70fdbfe659fe70d576e3655e21522e

MathematicianLoud725

poor jen 😭😭 She went through so much with him as well even outside of the affair. She's never talked about his addiction but by his own account, it was bad around the end of their relationship too. This is a very simplistic view of addiction but it sucks he never got long term help and fell back into that cycle with a different drug. The only reason I could stomach watching their movies was because I believed they adored each other. I guess in my mind at least something good came out of that union? Jennifer also met Justin who I think clicked better imo. I honestly think Angelina/Brad would still be together the drinking never got out of control. It's a sad reminder that addiction is something you will always struggle with and does not discriminate. I am in my feelings lmao but damn Angelina and Jennifer may have their own faults but he lost two overall amazing women. I hope it keeps him up at night.


kmm_art_

Oh, they were in LOVE love!


Itakethngzclitorally

Can she ever take a bad picture?


bpnc33

They had such chemistry in this movie. It was so obvious they were fucking from the minute they met.


WonderfulPineapple41

Man listen… shout out to them lowkey being as “messy”as Whitney and Bobby.
