So who's surprised that Angelina Jolie has announced her divorce from Brad Pitt? Raise your hand, please?
Yes, no one is.
What begins in infidelity usually ends in infidelity.
Add to it a movie like By The Sea, directed by Jolie, which featured Pitt and Jolie alternately sighing and screaming at each other - the last famous couple that acted together in movie, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) also ended up in divorce - and you'd be pretty sure it's not going to last.
Before Brangelina, there was Jennifer Aniston-Pitt. |
Yes, we can hear Jennifer Aniston laughing, but here are six reasons we think why Brangelina are no longer a couple.
#1. She wants to rule the world, he just wants the world to have a good time. So while earlier this month Jolie visited a refugee camp in Jordan where she urged world leaders to find a solution to the Syrian crisis, Pitt spent the first part of September in Croatia, where he is negotiating a £1billion deal to build a new luxury resort in the coastal town of Zablace, complete with villas, a golf course, shops and a flagship hotel.
#2. Marion Cotillard. It appears Jolie was suspicious of the Oscar winner's closeness to Pitt while they were filming their new film, Allied. Has anyone seen Cotillard? Is anyone surprised?
#3. Six children. And they had differences over how to raise them. We would have never guessed.
#4. They were together for 12 years and married two years ago. One word. Why ruin a good thing?
#5. Has anyone seen how long famous couples have lasted? And we don't want to hear about unicorns like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward who lasted 50 years until Newman's death.
#6. His facial hair.
