Marion Cotillard has spoken about the “awkward” love scene between her and Brad Pitt in their latest film, ‘Allied’.
The French actress and the newly-single Hollywood star share an intimate scene in the back of a car in the movie, but she says it was anything but sexy.

Speaking about the scene during a press conference over the weekend, she said: “We rehearse and had a very determined choreography, and then it allows you freedom.
“When you know exactly what your body will do, then you can act and you can be free to give the emotions and give the feelings because you won’t think, ‘What am I going to do next? Am I going to go on top of him?’
“It’s an awkward situation.
“We laughed because you need to get it out because this is so weird. And so you get this time of looking at each other and saying, ‘OK, this is so weird.’ And then we go into this and then I’m going on top of you and then we are going to kiss.”

The pregnant actress dispelled rumours of an affair in a lengthy Instagram post, adding that she wished Brad and Angelina well.
She wrote: “This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into.
“I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up.”
Marion has since described her co-star as “a good man” during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“[Brad is] such a good man,” she said. “Of course he’s an amazing actor. He’s such a good person that it’s really not difficult to get along with him.”

1998-2005Before Brangelina, there was errrm, Bradiffer (ok, that moniker didn’t exist, but you get the point). The pair met in 1998 after their agents reportedly channeled Cilla by setting them up on a blind date. They married two years later and instantly became Hollywood's ‘Golden Couple’... well until the ‘Friends’ star filed for divorce in 2005. We’re sure those pictures of Brad and Angelina Jolie looking close on the set of their movie ’Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ had nothing to do with it. (credit:Reuters Photographer / Reuters)

2005-2016Angelina helped turn Brad from ladies’ man to family man when he finally settled down with the actress and started a family. They even tied the knot, 10 years after meeting, but as we now know, it wasn’t to last. Two years after walking down the aisle, Ange filed for divorce citing ‘irreconcilable differences’. Sniff.
