Producer Danny Rossner offered to hire Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to play lovers in his new film, but sources close to the 60-year-old actor said there’s ‘no way’ he would accept
Brad Pitt is unlikely to accept a multi-million dollar offer to reunite with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie on screen, sources close to the actor have said.
The 60-year-old actor, who has been trying to finalise his divorce from the 49-year-old star since 2016, would not “lower himself” to accept money to work with someone who has caused him so much “heartache”, insiders have claimed. The comments were in response to producer Danny Rossner’s offer to hire the former spouses to play lovers in his new film based on real-life hotelier Emmanuel Martinez.
According to the producer, the estranged couple could “put their differences aside” to star in the movie. But sources close to Brad think there is “no way” this could happen.
An insider told the Daily Mail: “All the money in the world wouldn’t get Brad to appear in a movie with Angelina ever again. It would definitely spark public interest, but it’s not anything he would ever consider for a moment.
“They are currently bitter enemies so there is no way Brad would lower himself to be paid any amount of money to talk to Angie on screen.” They added: “She’s caused him so much heartache and doesn’t even want his inner circle to talk about her.”
It has been claimed that Rossner was prepared to pay the estranged couple around $60million to star in his movie. He told The Post: “Right now, I think, Brad Pitt’s in the $20 to $25million range [per movie] and Angelina Jolie is in the $15million range. In the 50-percent range above their going rate is what we’re prepared to offer.”
However, a source said the producer’s alleged offer was just a “clever publicity stunt” and “not something either side entertained.” They added: “There was never any real offer.”
Angelina filed for divorce in 2016 – and Brad has been estranged from his children ever since. They were declared legally single in 2019 but are still embroiled in an ongoing legal battle.
Earlier this month, reports emerged that Brad, who will celebrate his 61st birthday on December 18, is reportedly pleading with two of his six children to spend the day with him and his live-in girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 31. Despite being frequently photographed with their mother and even collaborating with her on various projects, including films, the Broadway show The Outsiders, and her shop Atelier Jolie, the children are yet to confirm their plans for their father’s birthday.
A source revealed that if his children decide not to visit Brad, he plans to go on a trip with his girlfriend Ines, an executive at a jewellery company. The couple currently reportedly live together in Los Angeles after falling head over heels for one another. A source revealed to Mail Online: “Brad loves his kids and it would mean the world to him to have them spend his special day with him.”
