Though Brad, 60, and Nicole, 57, haven’t crossed paths much over the last twenty years, Brad originally planned to make the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith with the Big Little Lies star before she left the project and Angelina Jolie replaced her.
Nevertheless, the source dishes that the Troy actor loves the idea of helping Nicole win the Oscar in 2025 instead of having it go to his ex wife Angelina, 49, who is a seeming sure-thing for a Best Actress nomination for her role as opera singer Maria Callas in her biopic, Maria. “Essentially, Brad was friendly with Nicole 20 years ago when he was preparing to make Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but is only recently reviving their relationship,” the source explains.
