Awkward Couple

couple-awkward-2[Blind Gossip] Two industry folks are letting us know that what you are seeing during the promotions of this film is very unusual… and might actually hurt the film’s success at the box office!

From a cast/crew member:

I’ve been on a lot of movie sets during a lot of potentially uncomfortable sex scenes.  These two are both pros and knew the drill. The scenes were choreographed, rehearsed several times, and went off without a hitch. For her to now act all coy and say it was awkward like she wants to distance herself from him doesn’t match what I saw.

From a publicist:

During promotions they should be emphasizing the closeness and the real emotional connection between the two leads. That’s what people want to see and that’s what sells a film. In this case, they are very distant and dismissive of their personal relationship. It’s an odd choice and does not serve the film well.

Maybe this has something to do with his divorce?

    Somewhere i was thinking this blind was about the 50shades actors,…

    But what you are saying about brad is soooooo right!!

    I think if angie is mean to him it is because he f-ed it up for them all…and also,…..yes marion i think is having his baby…

  5. Brunettetalk says

    Marion and Brad. Saw her on Stephen Colbert. She wasn’t even trying to sell the movie. Or even be an entertaining guest. She said two words then shut her mouth and looked like she had more important things to attend to than talking to the host. Waste of time to see her and I wont see the movie either

  6. Moonpie says

    Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard.

    The husband actor interacts with his co-star actress, a romantic relationship occurred, maybe. So reminiscent of that other movie that launched Brangelina. I think that Brad and Angie are painfully aware and are trying to stay ahead of people enjoying their schadenfreude while yelling karma. And a baby to boot. This movie is DOA. They don’t want Mr. & Mrs. Smith Part 2. It’s sad how actors ruin films with sex and their politics.

  8. dysturbed says

    It hasn’t even been released yet so it’s not doing well or poorly as of yet. The concern however, is that it will do poorly after it’s Wednesday release, due to how it’s being promoted.

  9. ninanicole says

    Point is they’ve been together since 2007 and already have one child together. A serious relationship even if not married on paper.

  10. peppermint twist says

    Marion & Brad filming Allied. Does anyone blame Marion from trying to distance herself from that sex scene now that Brad’s ex wife is on a psychotic rampage to try and destroy his life. Who would want to be caught in the cross-hairs of Saint Psycho? Poor Brad, Poor Marion both need to sleep with one eye open, Angelina has shown she will go to any length and sink to any low to exact her vicious and vile revenge. I’m surprised the crew hasn’t worked out her motives for saying what she did.

  11. Crisesaverted says

    She isn’t married. He is supposedly some long term boyfriend. This little baby will look a lot like Shiloh.

  12. Crisesaverted says

    Wow. It’s seems really obvious that baby is Brad’s, but I didn’t know that her ‘boyfriend’ had not even visited the set yet.

  19. clareb30 says

    Brad and Marion, personally I don’t like BP films best he has done Benjamin button but I really want to see this film when it’s out the plot line intrigues me more than the actors

    The way they were on the Ellen show seemed strange to me.
    I really hope he and Anna aren’t divorcing :/

  31. Parade says

    Brad
    Marion
    I don’t know
    Ang has her claws out, don’t you think? She’s driving this train while emotionally abusing… whoops, using her children as weapons.

  34. coryswifey83 says

    “It’s always [an] awkward situation, but it’s also a very fun situation because it’s awkward….”

    Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard

    Ps….i hope the movie is worth watching! ☺

  35. ninanicole says

    It’s not bc of the divorce, it’s bc she’s being blamed for having a hand in the divorce. She’s married and pregnant with her husband’s baby and doesn’t want the media making it seem otherwise. Completely understandable, and respectable that she values her family over how much a movie makes.

    Be cool. Raising awkwardness and promoting the distance thou do protest to much

  41. MsNeceSs says

    Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt in film Allied.

    Of their sex scenes in the movie, she said at a press conference, “It’s an awkward situation. We laughed because . . . 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.”

  42. Martini says

    The film with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard.

    There are stories that Angelina insisted he distance himself from her during promotions.

  45. Bean says

    Brad Pitt
    Marion Cotillard
    Allied

    No, what got him a divorce was him being a drunk angry old man, going nose-to-nose with his son ,putting his hands on him,having dcfs and FBI rain down upon his family. That’s why he looks manorexic, he knows he effed up. He lost his family.

  46. JerzeyJenn says

    Allied

    They should just keep interviews straight to the point and act normal. If they don’t “doth protest too much”…then it won’t raise suspicion.

  47. bullterrier70 says

    Brad Pitt

    Allied
    I would advise them to relax and enjoy the promotions ignore the media.

  48. gailpow says

    Oh brother. I would bet my firstborn that this is Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard in the Allied movie. I have a feeling it will sink at the box office this weekend too.

  53. ashanean says

    Brad Pitt
    Marion Cotillard
    They should just act like friendship
    Film Allied
    Yes cuz of his divorce

  59. CyndiTx123 says

    Brad Pitt and Marion Cortillard… ALlied…

    Be yourself and reenact the sex scene on the re d carpet….. hahahha…. just needed a giggle….

    Actor: brad pitt

    Actress:marion cotillard

    Film: Allied

    [Optional] What would you advise the leads to do during the promos in order to sell the film?

    there’s nothing that they can do at this point. it’s not doing well because of the cheating rumors more than likely so being chummy and close isn’t going to help it.

  63. katheryn says

    Don’t tell me this is about Allied. Marion – “doth protest too much” perhaps out of guilt? Or Brad has asked her to downplay the scenes because of the divorce and again guilt perhaps? But if you avoid the questions from the media regarding the scenes you also look guilty. If she is completely innocent in this, she has been put in an awkward position.

  64. Jester says

    Brad Pitt
    Marion Cotillard
    Allied

    They are both actors, so they need to act. My guess is that the impending divorce and claims of an alleged affair probably plays a large part.

  65. duni says

    Marion Cotillard, who is trying to bury the rumor that she and Brad had an affair during “Allied”

  66. bhakti says

    Idk if I really blame her. Angie would not be someone I would want pissed off at me. Plus the alleged affair and baby rumors. It’s just best to lay low and try to stay out of the Brangelina drama. I think she’s smart.

  68. KCeagle says

    Brad Pitt
    Marion Cotillard
    Allied

    What is their deal? Brad is acting like some whipped wimp and caving to psycho Angelina’s whims. Dude, stand up for yourself and up to Angelina. Marion is pretty much staying out of the fray. They need to both get over themselves and sell this movie…

  71. beijingst says

    Brad Pitt
    Marion Cotillard
    Allied

    They need to SELL the movie. So they need to say whatever will convince people to watch it. Play up the sex! Why not?

  72. FairyApocolypse says

    Actor: Brad Pitt
    Actress: Marion Cottiliard
    Film: Allied

    I would advise they flip it sooner than later.

  73. Goodgrief says

    Brad Pitt and Marion Cotilliard for Allied. They should be promoting the movie together. But she also is pregnant, so maybe she is trying to curtail some of her flying.

  74. Molly7111 says

    Actor: Brad Pitt
    Actress: Marion Cotillard
    Film: Allied
    I think they pose together and smile for the camera. Perhaps the reason they aren’t is because Angie has threatened her.

  75. blinkandyoumight says

    BRAD PITT
    MARION COTILLARD

    Their affair on set –> Cotillard gets pregnant in February before her partner had even visited the set yet. Timeline shows Pitt impregnated Cotillard.

    The baby is Pitt’s.

  77. Crisesaverted says

    Marion and Brad. Watching them do their promotional appearances reminds me of the promos for Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Pitt standing awkwardly near Angie. There’s also a baby that we are all to believe is from some boyfriend that’s not been mentioned. I think she also dated or had an affair with Johnny Depp. She’s gorgeous, quirky, interesting. If I were a guy, I would want to date her, too. Plus, Angie was actually directing his every move on the set of that movie. What partner can handle…

    Actor: Brad Pitt
    Actress: Marion Cotillard
    Film: Allied
    Optional: It’s a tricky situation considering Marion was the first one blamed by the press for the breakup of Bradgelina. If I were advising them, I’d tell them to emphasize the historical influence of their roles and their appreciation of the real life men and women who contributed to our victory in WWII. Praise the heroes of the past and wish that the film inspires others to learn more about the topic.
