Despite her issues with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie fondly remembers their film together and ranks it as one of her favorite movies. Jolie and Pitt shared impeccable chemistry when they were paired together in the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The chemistry eventually transitioned into a full-blown romance.

This relationship, however, caused a prominent scandal after Angelina Jolie was accused of causing Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to split. The former couple played a married couple who are secretly assassins belonging to competing agencies. Things go wrong between them when they are assigned to kill each other.

According to RadarOnline, Jolie not only had the film as one of her favorites but also spoke about how it brought her together with Pitt in real life. She shared that starting a proper relationship with Pitt came as a surprise to her, as she believed that she would always be a single mom.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s 17-year-old son recently competed in a mixed martial arts competition, reminding us of his father’s Fight Club days. However, Pitt has virtually no contact with Knox and his twin sister, Vivienne. He happens to be one of their six children to have kept the surname Jolie-Pitt.

Knox’s game was watched by his mother, Jolie, who appeared proud when he won his fight (via RadarOnline). Knox, who recently celebrated his shared birthday with Vivienne, posed proudly with his coaches at the Ikf Point Muay Thai Technical Event. He looked sleek with his black boxing gloves and padding on his legs.

An acclaimed spy film that sparked the careers of and a romance between Oscar-winning actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sparks renewed interest online 20 years after its premiere. Their action setpiece, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, is now a streaming hit on HBO Max.

Per Flix Patrol, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is moving up HBO Max's global top 10 movie chart. The film ranks 9th on the streaming chart and is in the top five in several European countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic and Croatia. Vin Diesel's Fast X (8th) and Robert De Niro's The Alto Knights (10th) sandwich Mr. & Mrs. Smith on a list topped by Michael B. Jordan's Sinners.

Although Brad Pitt’s Sonny Hayes has been dragging his tires and wearing them out in the recently released flick F1, it still isn’t enough to beat a Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie, which was released 20 years ago!

One of the few movies that starred Pitt and Jolie in leading roles, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an action-comedy film where Pitt and Jolie play the roles of a married couple who find out that they both are assassins. Their final mission? Kill each other. Well, although the story does feel intriguing, it isn’t as good as Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce’s rivalry in F1, and yet, the film is still dragging behind.

Just as Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 2 will have new lead actors, it will also relocate to a completely different setting. The first season released in February 2024 to critical acclaim, particularly for Mr. & Mrs. Smith's main cast, headed up by Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, who were both nominated for Emmys for their performances.

Though the ending of Mr. & Mrs. Smithseason 1 left the door open for Glover and Erskine to potentially return, they are so far not expected to reprise their roles, though Glover will remain on as showrunner and executive producer. Mark Eydelshteyn and Sophie Thatcher will reportedly lead season 2.

Deadlinealso recently reported that, unlike Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 1, which was set and primarily filmed in New York, the second installment has a brand new setting. While specific production details are still under wraps, Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 2 will be filmed in Los Angeles, California.

Angelina Jolie is one of the most iconic actresses in the film industry, and she has starred in some extremely entertaining films in her three-decade-long career, but she also starred in some duds along the way. After making her screen debut as a child in the 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out, Jolie has starred in at least 55 films, and some of them are among the most popular, like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Salt, but there were also some embarrassing films like The Tourist or the Lara Croft sequel. So, we decided to compile a list of her 5 worst films that hold embarrassingly low critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

5. The Tourist (Rent on Prime Video) Credit – Columbia Pictures

The Tourist is a romantic thriller film directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes.

John Huston directed some of the best movies in film history. From his pathbreaking noirs like The Maltese Falcon and The Asphalt Jungle to The African Queen or The Man Who Would Be King, Huston was nominated for 14 Oscars, winning two for The Treasure of Sierra Madre. Huston directed his final film, The Dead, while ill with emphysema, and died months before the film’s release. His penultimate film, the black comedy organized crime film Prizzi’s Honor, was easily one of his best — and that’s saying something.

Based on Richard Condon’s 1982 novel, Prizzi’s Honor was released 40 years ago, on June 14, 1985. The film centers Charley Partanna (Jack Nicholson), a mob hitman for the Prizzi family, who falls for Irene Walker (Kathleen Turner). The two become romantically entangled before the situation gets messy: he discovers Walker was married to a man Charley killed for stealing from the mob. That’s...

Brad Pitt has faced nearly every high and low imaginable during his decades-long career in Hollywood. From international stardom to Oscar wins and very public breakups, Pitt has consistently been the target of tabloid scrutiny.

Beneath the surface of red carpet and blockbuster roles, there’s still one part of his career he’s never been able to fully control. It is the constant media attention on his personal life. Now, while promoting his upcoming movie F1, the 60-year-old actor has revealed, he has finally found peace amid chaos. It is a very simple formula: living life on his own terms.

Ellos encabezarán el reparto de la película Here Comes the Flood que, desde ya, se perfila como uno de los títulos más esperados de la plataforma.

Deadline has rounded up his best movies below:...

You know how they say, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”? Well, we’ve learned that lesson the hard way, especially when it comes to our obsession with Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Season 1 of the 16-time Emmy-nominated Amazon series, created by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, reinvents the 2005 film of the same name (originally starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) with sharper edges.

Two strangers, John and Jane (played by Donald Glover and Maya Erskine), pose as a married couple, dive headfirst into high-risk missions, and stumble into something messier: real feelings. Season 1 is part espionage, part entanglement, and a bit of a thoughtful high-wire act for a new generation.

And lo and behold, Season 2 is on the horizon (via Deadline). But what exactly can we expect? From the tantalizing mystery of John and Jane’s fate to whispers of fresh faces joining the action, there’s a lot to unpack here.

This year's Best Drama Supporting Actress Emmy race is shaping up to be a White Lotus face-off. Since the Season 3 finale of the HBO anthology series aired on April 6, Carrie Coon and Parker Posey have climbed into first and second place, respectively, in Gold Derby's odds, knocking early frontrunner Allison Janney (The Diplomat) down to third. Though Coon has been comfortably ahead of Posey in the charts all season long, the latter has been closing the gap ever since the Thailand-set third installment premiered in mid-February, making this a two-horse race between the castmates. So if both make the cut, who is likeliest to come out on top?

Had you asked any viewer before the finale, they probably would've said Posey. As Victoria, a wealthy matriarch with a lorazepam addiction, the Emmy nominee (for her guest turn on Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2024) became an instant fan favorite, going viral...

Brad Pitt & Gwyneth Paltrow Reunion(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is known for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s pairing. But that wasn’t the original plan. Director Doug Liman first wanted Gwyneth Paltrow with Pitt. They were prominent exes then. Liman thought their past would add real strain.

Before Brad and Angelina made headlines, there was Brad and Gwyneth. The two dated from 1994 to 1997 after meeting on the set of Se7en. They soon got engaged. Even in 1996, Pitt called Paltrow his “angel, the love of my life” during his Golden Globe speech.

However, they broke up before getting wedded. Years later, Paltrow explained to Howard Stern that she wasn’t ready for marriage. She said (via People), “I was 22 when we met. I wasn’t ready, and he was too good for me.”

In 2024, Prime Video debuted the spy television series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, inspired by the 2005 film of the same name starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The series was a hit, and Prime Video renewed it for Season 2.

Season 1 starred Donald Glover as John Smith/ Michael and Maya Erskine as Jane Smith/ Alana. However, the show, which was created by Glover and Francesca Sloane, will have a different Mr. and Mrs. Smith. After Mark Eydelshteyn was penned as the new male protagonist in early December, Companion and Yellowjackets actress Sophie Thatcher is reportedly in talks to play Mrs. Smith, Deadline reports.

The show, produced by Amazon MGM Studios and New Regency, has been looking for actors in their 20s to play the couple. The actors would be signed for one-year deals.

The first season, which starred Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, followed two strangers who pretend to be a married couple while starting new careers as spies. Their missions become even riskier when they start falling for each other.

Amazon Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith series sneaked onto screens and delivered a delightfully unexpected twist on the classic 2005 movie. This time, it’s not just about the explosive action or spy drama, though that’s still plenty fun, but also about the messy, hilarious, and surprisingly touching relationship between the two secret agents. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine steal the show as the covert couple navigating a chaotic mix of espionage and marital drama.

Critics were quick to praise their sizzling chemistry, making the action-packed missions feel more like a rollercoaster romance than just a series of spy encounters. While the 2005 movie didn’t exactly dive deep into emotional territory, the show wisely used its 8-episode run to explore the heart of their partnership. And guess what? Season 2 is officially on the way, meaning the thrill and drama will only get juicier!

Before the infamous Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie romance shook Tinseltown, Jennifer Aniston reportedly shared the sweetest words with Jolie. Back when Mr. & Mrs. Smith was just another action flick in the making, Aniston ran into Jolie and, in a moment of pure class, offered a warm welcome.

Little did she know, the script of her own life was about to take a wild turn. Years later, this alleged exchange still stings for fans who remember the heartbreak that followed. Hindsight’s a kicker, isn’t it?

Jennifer Aniston once said the most heartwarming words to Angelina Jolie, right before everything changed.

Before the Mr. & Mrs. Smith storm hit Hollywood, Aniston and Jolie met just once.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were hailed as one of the most perfect couples in Hollywood. Their high-profile romance began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, it led to a troublesome marriage and eventually a divorce that has long been under public scrutiny.

The glamour of their relationship was certainly overshadowed by all the drama and allegations, and their drawn-out seperation made headlines for years. But now that the two have finally settled their divorce in December 2024, Pitt’s one move could negatively impact Jolie’s career.

She talked about how it's sort of like Christmas: Don't open the presents until it's Christmas day. You don't need to peek inside. I'm trying to follow along in their footsteps because I have a big mouth, and if I could, I would just say everything right now, but I can't. I don't want to ruin it.”

Here’s why Angelina Jolie keeps men away ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Frozen by her past’s emotional baggage, Angelina Jolie keeps men far away from herself and her children. A decade after splitting from Brad Pitt, the scars from their messy divorce are still haunting her, stopping her from jumping into new relationships.

The Mr. & Mrs. Smith love story may have been iconic, but what was the emotional fallout after their bitter split in 2019? Not so much. A source spilled to In Touch Weekly, “There’s a reason Angelina is still single, and it’s not for a lack of men lining up to date her. Fact is, she keeps them all at a distance because she’s so terrified of getting hurt again the way she did with Brad.” Ouch. It seems like that toxic relationship left a more significant mark than anyone expected.

Angelina Jolie is returning to the silver screen with her upcoming biographical psychological drama Maria, which premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival and has received positive reviews from critics.

Starring what went on to become Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple, before their relationship fell apart, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was widely received as a great addition to the spy couple genre.

Matt Damon has had an interesting life. From struggling to make it as an actor in Hollywood to winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his very first written work, Damon has had a steady rise in his career.

Unlike his childhood best friend and creative partner Ben Affleck, Damon has kept the media away from his personal life. Attributing it to his marriage to a non-celebrity, the Invictus star mentioned that he felt lucky that he did not have to worry about being surrounded by the media like his peers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
