Jolie had no hand in Pitt's split from Aniston

New York (ANI): Actor Brad Pitt has set the record straight actress Angelina Jolie is not a homewrecker. In an interview with W in the annual "A-List" February issue, Pitt said that Jolie, who was his co-star in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith', had no hand in breaking up his marriage with actress Jennifer Aniston.

"What people don't understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year. We were still filming after Jen [Aniston] and I split up," The New York Post quoted him as saying. He added: "Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't. I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful."

Although Aniston recently called Jolie's comment that the couple fell in love on-set "uncool," the 'Troy' star claimed that he holds no grudges against his former wife. He said: "Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It's so created," he claims.

"We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don't see how there cannot be [that]. That's life, man. That's life."
