Brad Pitt and Sean Penn Are Not Buddies
Brad Pitt and Sean Penn are working together on reclusive auteur Terrence Malick's new film Tree of Life...but there's no budding friendship between the two actors.
Tensions are said to be high between the stars, at least partly because of Penn's friendship with Brad's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston (Jennifer directed a short film starring Sean's wife Robin Wright). And there's also the little matter of Penn's abrasive demeanor.
"They’re far from friends," a source told Life & Style. "Sean is a bossy kind of guy, and that’s just not Brad’s style. He’s mellower. So spending time together has been a big challenge."
Could it also be possible that Brad just resents Penn? I mean, let's face it...Sean Penn may be a dickhead, but he is a brilliant actor. Brad? Adequate at best.
Also, let's not underestimate the Angelina factor here. Any man who lives with that evil bitch is going to wind up in a pretty foul mood. It's possible that Brad is incapable of getting along with anyone at this point.
