According to reports, Angelina Jolie was convinced that her now-estranged husband Brad Pitt was having an affair with Marion Cotillard, his Allied co-star.
Jolie, who is currently in the midst of a divorce with Pitt, hired a private investigator to tail Cotillard and Pitt on the set of the World War II movie in London.
These rumors are thought to be part of a smear campaign from Jolie’s camp.
However, Cotillard is currently expecting her second child with French director and actor Guillaume Canet, whom she has been with for nine years.
Reports of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard are “100 per cent false,” according to a source.
The source also revealed that Pitt’s main concern is his children: “He does not want them reading anything negative in the press about himself or their mother.”
On the set of Allied, Jolie reportedly confronted Cotillard and completely ignored her, causing Cotillard to feel devastated.
A source stated, “Marion was devastated, here she is thinking she is going to meet this great UN ambassador and instead Angelina refuses to speak to the woman because of her own jealousy.”
Cotillard’s message in response to the situation was: “And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery.”
“Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion.”
Pitt and Cotillard play information officer and French Resistance fighter, respectively, who fall in love in Allied.
According to the film’s producer, Graham King, the two actors had an “immediate connection,” and “their chemistry was electric.”
The pair began rehearsing together before the shoot, and they also spent time developing their characters with the director, Robert Zemeckis.
Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting physical custody of their six children.
A source close to the couple said that Jolie was upset with Pitt’s parenting skills and “fed up” with his use of weed, alcohol, and anger issues.
The reports of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard are part of a wider trend in Hollywood, where co-stars are rumored to be romantically involved off-screen.
As Jolie and Pitt’s divorce plays out in the public eye, rumors and gossip surrounding their relationship are likely to continue to be a topic of conversation.
In Hollywood, co-stars often develop close relationships while filming, but this does not necessarily mean that they are romantically involved.
In the case of Pitt and Cotillard, it seems that their chemistry on set was simply a testament to their acting abilities.
Jolie and Pitt have been one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples since they first started dating in 2005.
Their marriage in 2014 was a major event, and their split in 2016 shocked many of their fans.
As the divorce proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how the couple will move forward and what the future holds for their children.
Both Jolie and Pitt are known for their humanitarian work, with Jolie serving as a UN ambassador and Pitt working to rebuild homes in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Their work in the public sphere has earned them both accolades and criticism, but their commitment to making a positive impact on the world is undeniable.
The divorce between Jolie and Pitt has been a topic of conversation for many in Hollywood, with many weighing in on the situation.
Some have expressed sympathy for Jolie, while others have criticized her for the way she has handled the situation.
Pitt has largely stayed out of the public eye since the announcement of the divorce, choosing to focus on his family and his work.
Despite the divorce, both Jolie and Pitt remain committed to their children.
In a joint statement released shortly after the announcement of their split, they stated that their “focus is on the well-being of our children.”
They have since been spotted together on occasion, attending family events and working together to co-parent their children.
