Co-stars falling in love is about as cliched as it gets, but it happens, even when one party is married. The scene for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” a sexy action comedy about an unhappy couple who rekindle that spark only after trying to kill one another. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. Jolie was fresh off a divorce from Billy Bob Thornton (and had previously been married to Jonny Lee Miller). “I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened,” Jolie told Vogue in 2006. “We just became kind of a pair.”
