Brit comedian 'caused Brad-Jen break-up'

It’s all over now – but an unlikely source has claimed responsibility for the demise of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s marriage.

The gossiper in question is none other than comedian Omid Djalili, who appeared in the actually-rather-good espionage thriller Spy Game with Robert Redford and Brad. And Omid says he was the one who jinxed Brad'n'Jen's seven-year marriage.

“I did a scene with Brad in the back of a taxi and it was only a few days after he had married Jennifer,” said the British-Iranian stand-up. “I chatted to him for hours, giving him advice about the three stages of marriage.”

"Stage one is perfection - blind love. Stage two is the difficult stage because you start to despise everything about her. If you can deal with the baggage you can possibly get to stage three – a harmonious marriage.”

“He said: ‘Thanks Omid, I love that you have given me a framework for my marriage.’ After six weeks Brad came up to me and said, 'I'm definitely in stage two, Omid!' I probably made it go up in flames!"

On the plus side, at least the comic got a funny story out of it…
