Jen and Brad

Ok so I’m a bit bored as I have a flu. Otherwise I usually do have a life..

Is anyone like me a bit protective of Jennifer Aniston and thinkng Brad doesn’t really deserve her and that I’m quite struggling to see myself forgiving someone who would do to me what Brad did to Jen??

I come from a home with devastating divorce between parents With ongoing grudges and I’m projecting a lot and wondering whether normal people forgive such things and why and how ?

I suppose not everyone is bitter even after hes ran off with someone else. It happened to my friend after ten years he did exactly the same gave up everything leaving friend heartbroken. His marriage lasted three years now him and friend are best mates like nothing ever happened. I dont know if its maturity or just plain weird.

Jen is best mates with Chelsea Handler whos a massive stoner and a good laugh. Jen was always a stoner it wasnt just him. If Jen wanted babies she could've done what her mates have done adopted or used a surrogate lets face it in Hollywood its easy to have a child. I honestly dont think shes bothered. Shes top of her game at the moment.

Do people actually believe this nonsense? Brad was hamming it up, it's PR. Change the narrative of estranged children, substance abuse, etc. Is he nominated for an Oscar? you don't often win without a "campaign"

Bit chubbier unfortunately 😁

I thought she was married

RitaHayworthHair · 29/01/2020 22:43

I like both of them for different reasons. I identify more with JA but not sure that's a compliment to her Confused She's more fallible and human, vulnerable and needy.

AJ would chew most of us for breakfast!

CatherineOfAragonsPomegranate · 29/01/2020 23:21

Jen was always a stoner it wasn't just him.

Really?! I can't see it in my mind. Jen appears too dignified and sensible for some reason. Now Angie I could see. She has that hint of hidden dark depths.

EachandEveryone · 30/01/2020 00:31

Its Anne Hathaway that shocked me 😄

ThePawtriarchy · 30/01/2020 00:41

I can’t believe she wouldn’t have her own oscars invite, I bet she has. Also by ‘boring’ read ‘same’.

"She has that hint of hidden dark depths"

The hidden dark depth of...smoking weed???

She carried her husband's blood around in a vial fgs. She hardly hides her weird side.

I think it was widely reported that he and Jen had the laid back LA lifestyle.. shorthand for stoners/ drinkers/ lotus eaters.

Brad recently tried his hand at a MIT prof who kicked him to touch and got pregnant with her next beau.

I think brad at heart knows he can’t keep up with the smart women in his life and Jen isn’t demanding on that front.

He got bored of Jen, and wanted excitement and kids with Ang.

Now, He’s realised he can’t keep up with the excitement or the kids and yearns for the undemanding, lazy stoner life again, and if that includes shagging Jen, I’d say he’s happy to oblige, until he’s bored, and wants to pretend he’s an architect again.

I don’t know if brad actually exists. Who is he? He seems to morph into whomever he’s shagging. He seems entirely mutable, and chooses a path of least resistance.

@ThePawtriarchy Brad will definitely get an invite as he's nominated but TV stars usually don't unless they're presenting. If he brings Jen along as his date then that will truly break the internet!

RuffleCrow · 30/01/2020 07:55

I'm torn. They look so perfect together - like a beautiful painting - but what he did to her just sits at complete odds with that perfect image. I really like Jen and so wanted her to find someone amazing, or just go and live her life and not wait around for Brad forever. "Once a cheater, always a cheater" etc.

RuffleCrow · 30/01/2020 08:05

He always looked like a blonde Benecio Del Toro!

MorrisZapp · 30/01/2020 08:09

This is just teenage boyfriend syndrome. We want them to get back together because then we'll all be 15 years younger and be having hot sex ourselves.

I think Jen's been having the last laugh all these years, she's too old for daftness. She can be happy to see him but christ why would she go there again.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 30/01/2020 08:18

How is it fifteen years since they split up?Shock

Inkanta · 30/01/2020 08:51

Well the way I see it I think she still loves Brad. Never seen her look at anyone the way she looks at him. She seems to light up from inside.

I watched the SAG awards and I saw a spark and flame - and I thought love was in the air. Smile

getupnow · 30/01/2020 08:53

Also Jen was fully aware the cameras were watching her response, if she'd been anything other than overtly friendly the headlines would be Jens still bitter, poor Jen, etc...

AngelinaGrimke · 30/01/2020 08:56

I agree with pp that he'd be back with Ange in a flash if she called him home! She's ravishing.

I love how we're all talking about them as if we have the first clue about them Grin

Inkanta · 30/01/2020 09:04

I read that Angie tried for a reconciliation at the time divorce papers were to be signed and that he wasn't having any of that - he just signed.

Sounds like he's had enough. Also heard he put his foot down with her taking the kids out of the country. She likes to travel a lot and hates living in LA - says everyone is fake.

I think this is right. Hes like a beautiful empty vessel that just takes on the personality of the person he falls in love with. I still remember Brad and Jens wedding photo though and thinking how beautiful they were...

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 30/01/2020 09:54

Anne Hathaway a stoner? Shock

EachandEveryone · 30/01/2020 10:26

😄😄😄😀 she actually looks it in that interview
