Jennifer Aniston Just Dropped a Rare Comment About Her Split from Brad Pitt (& It's So Revealing)

It seems like it’s been a lifetime since Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were a pair, but the fact remains that they are still among the most popular Hollywood couples of all time.

Ahead of the season four premiere of The Morning Show, the 56-year-old actress is doing a little reflecting on her life and career, and sharing her thoughts in Vanity Fair’s September issue, where she is the magazine's cover star. While Aniston hasn’t spoken much about her very public divorce from Pitt, the Friends star made a rare remark in a video clip for the shoot, where she briefly commented on The Breakup, the 2006 movie she did with Vince Vaughn, which was filmed primarily in 2005. “I might’ve just gone through a separation,” Aniston said jokingly. “That little separation, I’m sure nobody remembers that,” she added. 

She continued, “It was kind of cathartic to go right from that. So when they came to me with the offer, they were a little nervous about making the offer because they thought, ‘Oh, is that insensitive? Is it inappropriate?’ But I actually thought, ‘What a great opportunity.’” Her final reason for taking the part, she says, was that she knew it “would benefit her emotionally,” and “serve the script and the character pretty well.”
