But her graciousness could only go so far, and her desire to take the upper hand was tested when Angelina made a series of eye-opening revelations about her budding romance with Brad. Jennifer had initially believed her husband when he ended their marriage and insisted it had nothing to do with anyone else, least of all Angelina, who he'd just finished filming Mr and Mrs Smith with.

I think a few months in I realised, God, I canât wait to get to work," she said. Describing Jennifer as his "best friend", Angelina, 43, outright declared that she and Brad had fallen head-over-heels in love on set. Jen's patience was tested when Angelina dropped a series of bombs about her relationship with Brad "Whether it was shooting a scene or arguing about a scene or gun practice or dance class or doing stunts - anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it," she said.

And she did not like what she read. "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Jennifer continued. "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. "That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
