During an interview, things can take a turn in an instant. It’s all about how a celebrity handles a question.
Take Tom Cruise, who actually kept surprisingly calm when asked about Scientology. As it turns out, it was the same ordeal for Jennifer Aniston, who kept her cool despite being asked about her personal life and relationship failures from the past. One of her relationships in particular was brought up, with Brad Pitt.
We’re going to take a closer look at how Aniston handled the moment, along with the praise she received from the fans. In addition, we’ll take a look at a different interview with Howard Stern, and how Aniston handled yet another Brad Pitt question.
Jennifer Aniston Was Calm After Being Asked If She Still Keeps In Touch With Brad Pitt
Credit to Jennifer Aniston for keeping her cool throughout the interview, despite the random divorce questions she likely wasn’t expecting. The interviewer himself went through a divorce, and asked Aniston if she found it painful when the media brought up her past divorces. Aniston looked confused by the question, but gave the perfect answer.
“I don’t find it painful, I think it’s the narrative that follows you because it is an interesting headline. It is more of a media driven headline.”
Aniston was then asked about Brad Pitt, and if the two still keep in touch. Once again, Jen didn’t show any signs of nervousness, and answered the question calmly.
“Everybody has. We’ve exchanged good wishes to each other, but it is not a constant thing.”
Aniston would then ask the interviewer if he ever contacts his ex, to which he says no. The interview moment can be relived below.
It should be noted that Aniston did briefly touch on her divorce from Brad Pitt in the past (in a different interview), discussing how she dealt with the ending of Friends.
“Well, the ending of Friends. I, you know, I got a divorce and went into therapy. And then oh I did a movie called The Break-Up. I just kind of leaned into the end. I just was like, ‘You know what guys, let’s just make this a completely new chapter. Let’s just end everything and start new.’ It worked GREAT.”
Aniston has grown a lot since the tough moment, and is clearly able to speak about it calmly nowadays.
Jennifer Aniston Was Praised For Her Interview Response By Fans
As expected, Jennifer Aniston received a lot of love for her interview response. She didn’t avoid the question and give a fake answer. Instead, Jen kept calm and told the interviewer her true feelings.

Fans had a lot to say. One fan wrote, “I love her. She is so real and calm when people ask her stupid questions.” Another fan comments, “She handles these dumb questions so well. What a queen.”
Another fan notes that Aniston had every right to be upset with such a question. “I completely understand why she is still upset. She is completely over Brad but she can still be upset when she remembers the way she felt back then. The pain can still be there when asked to remember it. The old feelings come back and it can feel like it happened just yesterday.”
As expected, it wouldn’t be the last time Aniston had to take on such a question regarding her ex.
Jennifer Aniston Also Told Howard Stern That Reuniting With Brad Pitt Wasn’t Awkward
As expected, Howard Stern just had to ask Jennifer Aniston on her Fast Time reunion that went viral with Brad Pitt. Fans had a blast with the moment, seeing Pitt and Aniston together again after all those years. Stern wanted to know if there was any awkwardness behind the scenes, and that wasn’t the case at all. Aniston mentioned that the two are friends, who still keep in touch.
She revealed, “It was absolutely fun. You know, Brad and I are buddies. Like, we’re friends and we speak. There’s no oddness at all except for everyone that probably watched it and was wanting there to be. We had fun, and it was for a great cause, [Sean Penn’s community relief nonprofit] CORE.”
Credit to Jennifer Aniston for still keeping calm discussing Brad Pitt, despite the fact that their marriage ended almost two decades ago, in 2005. Aniston is also asked about another relationship. This one with Justin Theroux as the two also divorced after just two years of marriage. And hey, let’s not forget Aniston’s rumored romance with David Schwimmer… One that the two very much revealed was real, but never worked timing wise. Aniston’s love life is always a hot topic.
