Throwback Thursday: When Brad Pitt referred to his marriage with Jennifer Aniston as 'dull'

It was in 1998 when a Hollywood power couple arose and became the hottest pair in town. Everyone, who is anyone, was talking about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Then, in 2000, the couple got married during a beautiful and private wedding ceremony. Everything seemed blissful for the married couple but in 2005, Brad and Jen called it quits and headed for a divorce. Simultaneously, Brad and Angelina's affair began on the sets of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and post his split, Brangelina became the new power couple.

During an interview with Parade magazine, when Brad had freshly started dating Angelina, Brad referred to his marriage with Jennifer as "dull". He also stated that life for him became more exciting when he met and fell in love with Angelina. He spoke about how the '90s were problematic for the actor and that he used to hide out from the public eye, sitting on his couch and being sick of himself. Brad felt his life was not interesting and that was because of his marriage. Brad stated, "I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't."

Brad received major backlash for his comments and he had to retract his words. A statement was then released where Brad stated how loving Jennifer was and that he is still good friends with her. He values their relationship and meant to say that he was the one who was "dull", not Jennifer.
