It’s hard to imagine a universe where Brad Pitt would need to wear a nametag.
But that’s exactly what the 56-year-old star did as he attended the 2020 Oscars Nominees
Luncheon.
The famous charming humorist seems to have found his feet after the devastating divorce
from Angelina Jolie and lengthy custody battle over their six kids.
Pitt is now comfortable enough to joke about his failed marriage and current love life,
talk about his alcohol addiction, ironically wear name tags to events, and to be on friendly
terms with his exes (like, for instance…
Jennifer Aniston, or something).
Perhaps he is open to the idea of dating again?
Some sources close to the actor claim he is.

Brad Pitt’s new love interest.
For now, let’s look back at Pitt’s past romantic conquests.
Pitt met Emmy winner and three-time Golden Globe-nominated actress Christina Applegate
when both were really young and yet to achieve superstardom.
Five years ago, Applegate admitted during a TV show that she was the one to ditch Brad
Pitt.
Moreover, it happened overnight at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards.
And the cherry on top: she ditched Brad Pitt for someone else!
Apparently, that mysterious Brad Pitt’s rival was Skid Row singer and Gilmore Girls
star Sebastian Bach.
For two years or so, Brad Pitt was involved with singer Sinitta.
"He was beautiful with the most amazing body.
I saw him for two years.
He was fun, he was young and very sweet," Sinitta remembered.
When the news of the Pitt-Jolie divorce broke, she was quick to clarify that she had no role
in the split.
Pitt met his next big love on a movie set.
Apart from appearing together in a TV movie Too Young to Die?, Pitt and actress-singer
Juliette Lewis went on to star in Kalifornia.
Pitt was excited to “do a scene and then go over and grab the one you love,” and
considered their joint movies a vacation.
The two broke up in 1993.
Two years after the break-up, Pitt even went on record to say he still loved Juliette.
In separate interviews over the years, both have remembered their romance with fondness.
It may or may not be true that Juliette’s devotion to the Church of Scientology was
what caused a rift between them.
And then, Gwyneth Paltrow came along.
Yes, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, two ‘90s icons, together in a movie, and then, just
- together!
In crime thriller Seven, they played husband and wife.
And almost played husband and wife in real life, but… it was not meant to be.
“I wasn’t ready, and he was too good for me.
I was too young and I didn’t know what I was doing.”
That’s what Paltrow famously said about Brad Pitt in an interview with Howard Stern
years after her split from Brad. also fairly recently, she said there is no bad blood between
them.
It’s worth mentioning that, while the two were still dating, the notorious Harvey Weinstein
made an unwanted pass at then 22-year-old Gwyneth in a hotel room.
The actress had signed up to do two movies with him!
Shaken, she confided in her boyfriend right away about what had happened.
So Pitt confronted Weinstein and warned him against making Paltrow uncomfortable.
The story wouldn’t surface until much later, when multiple women came forth to reveal how
Harvey Weinstein harassed them.
When asked about it in a relatively recent interview, Pitt denied being a hero for what
he had done.
He added that he was happy to see how men and women’s dynamics is being re-calibrated
at various workplaces.
Brad’s relationship with Jennifer Aniston was as iconic.
They met back in 1994 through their managers, but Brad was still with Gwyneth at the time.
Oh, and Jen was with fellow actor Tate Donovan.
In 1998, however, the stars aligned, and the two freshly-single actors went on their first
date.
Jennifer recalled later that it was a really easy and fun evening.
A year later, the couple indicated they might have been engaged - at a Sting concert in
NYC, no less!
And, lo and behold, the two were indeed married in 2000.
Alas, just around the time when Jennifer thought about starting a family, Brad met Angelina
Jolie on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Contrary to the rumours, there was no cheating.
"It took until ... the end of the shoot for us ... to realize that it might mean something
more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe," Jolie recalled.
And so, Brad and Jennifer were no more.
The world welcomed a new favourite couple, Brad and Angelina.
Although Aniston was blindsided by the news of her ex entering a new relationship with
his co-star, she still said the divorce process was amicable: "We exited this relationship
as beautifully as we entered it.”
Sadly, the hashtag JoliePitt union didn’t follow the happily-ever-after route.
They lasted for remarkable, genuinely happy 12 years, but, well, life happens, people
do succumb to their weaknesses and addictions.
What matters most is that both Jolie and Pitt remain attentive and loving parents to their
six children.
