Gwyneth Paltrow Slams Ex Brad Pitt in New Biography, Says She Was ‘Better Educated, More Sophisticated' Than the Actor
In Gwyneth: The Biography, the author, Amy Odell, wrote about the Ironman star's frustration as she got to know about Pitt marrying the Friends star, Jennifer Aniston.
The actress allegedly admitted to her friend that she was upset that Pitt had tied the knot with Aniston and also went on to call him a 'sack of s***.'
Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt's relationship timeline
The author, Amy Odell, mentioned in the actress' biography that Paltrow and Pitt first met each other in 1993, on the sets of Se7en. According to the reports, Pitt suggested to the makers that Gwyneth would look great with him onscreen.
As the duo started interacting more, they fell in love and went on to become the 'IT' couple of Hollywood.
The pair dated for a while and got engaged in 1996. While things were looking good on the surface, the actress had her doubts about the relationship early on.
In the year of her engagement with the Fight Club star, she 'expressed doubts to a crew member (while making the 1996 film Emma) that Pitt was right for her and admitted she had a crush on Hugh Grant."
Opening up about the differences between the Shakespeare in Love actress and Pitt, Odell wrote, "He was brought up very religious, in Missouri. It's just a very different world from hers, growing up in Manhattan, going to Spence. I think she thought he wasn't sophisticated enough for her.'
She further added, "She thought she was smarter, better educated, and more sophisticated."
The duo parted ways in 1997.
Brad Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston affected Gwyneth Paltrow
Pitt soon began to date Jennifer Aniston. The couple got engaged in 1999 and married a year later. While the fans of the actress and the Mr. and Mrs. Smith star were happy about them being together, it wasn't the case with Paltrow.
When in a September 2000 interview, the Marvel star was asked about her feelings over Wolfs star and Aniston's wedding, the actress said, "I can't comment on this kind of thing.'
However, an excerpt from the book reads, 'In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she'd felt sad when she learned they were getting married. (She was also fond of telling them that Brad 'has terrible taste in women')."
During one of the business meetings with Estee Lauder, the actress went on to describe her ex-partner as 'dumber than a sack of s--t.'
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston filed for divorce after five years.

Netflix cancels Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar following underwhelming Season 2 viewership despite star power
Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series 'Fubar' will not be returning for a third season on Netflix, the streamer confirmed, a little over a month after Season 2 debuted on June 12. The decision comes after what was described as a surprisingly soft return for the show. Though the first season launched with significant buzz in May 2023—buoyed by Schwarzenegger's global popularity—its second season failed to capture similar momentum. Monica Barbaro, who co-stars as Schwarzenegger's on-screen daughter Emma and became an Oscar nominee in between seasons for 'A Complete Unknown', also returned for Season 2. Season 2, released more than two years after Season 1, managed only a brief appearance in Netflix's English-language Top 10. During its launch weekend, the show earned 2.2 million views, a steep drop from the 11 million views that greeted its premiere season. It peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3 million views and barely held onto the #10 spot in Week 3 with 1.8 million, before vanishing from the rankings. The story of 'Fubar' centres on CIA operative Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter Emma (Barbaro), who each lead double lives while unknowingly working for the same agency. Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, with neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative.' The cancellation places 'Fubar' among a short list of Netflix originals dropped in 2025, including 'The Recruit', 'Pulse', and 'The Residence'. Nevertheless, the platform has renewed around 20 scripted series this year alone, with recent greenlights for 'Untamed' Season 2, 'Tires' Season 3, 'Ransom Canyon' Season 2, and 'Virgin River' Season 8.

Jennifer Aniston's new romance: Courteney Cox's cautionary advice on Jim Curtis
Jennifer Aniston has been a little busy with a man by her side, while Courteney Cox has her guards up for the mystery man. The 56-year-old is head over heels for Jim Curtis and has been spotted vacationing with him. However, her 'Friends' castmate has advised her not to haste with all the 'love is in the air' concepts to avoid any heartbreak if the romance ends up being a fleeting moment. Courtney Cox has warned Jennifer Aniston 'Courteney has seen Jen get hurt over and over, and she doesn't want to see the past repeating itself. She's urging her friend to be careful," an insider said, according to Radar Online. Furthermore, the report added that Jim might look charming and charismatic, but his past has some eyebrow-raising behaviour. Curtis himself has opened up about his strained relationships with his family, as well as the fact that he tends to get bored, struggling to maintain the relationship. "Courteney and others are telling her to pump the brakes and really get to know this guy before she hands over her heart," the source stated, before adding, 'But they're already joined at the hip, which is typical of Jen. She tends to go all in very fast and is very trusting. ' About Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis The insider added that Aniston is in a happy place right now, and the last thing she wants is another man bringing the drama or using her to boost his own career. A couple of moons ago, the 'Murder Mystery' actress was spotted at a cosy dinner in California, followed by a vacation in Spain. Meanwhile, another source claimed that she does not care about what anyone thinks and wants to be with him as much as possible, according to Star.
