So happy: Brad and Jennifer at the Cannes premiere of Troy in May 2004, a year later they were heading to divorce.
Jennifer Aniston ordered Brad Pitt to leave their Beverly Hillshome after he admitted that he was in love with Angelina Jolie, according to a sensational new book.
Arnon Milchan, who produced Mr and Mrs Smith, makes the revelation in a book about his life as a producer and businessman tied to the arms trade, which is entitled Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon.
He recalls how he originally cast Pitt and Nicole Kidman as the married spy couple in his film but that Brad pulled out of the project due to a lack of chemistrybetween himself and the flame-haired Australian.
Milchan also insists that Pitt was already infatuated with Jolie as immediately after he cast Angelina as the female lead, Brad called him to say he was happy to play Mr to her Mrs.
The rest, as they say, is history, and the writing was on the wallfor the Friendssweetheart, who married Pitt in Malibu in 2000.
She filed for divorce in March 2005, apparently after seeing pictures of Brad, Angelina and Maddox on a beach in Kenya.
But it was a tumultuous few months of rumours and denials before she reached that point.
He recounts: 'At first, Jen didn't believe he was involved with Angelina. She started asking around but no one would tell her anything because they were loyal to Brad, so she asked him point blank. He denied it.'
