And???? So what. This is childish. I doubt Brad is crying. I’m sure he is with his family enjoying the holiday. BB was an excellent movie. He and Jen were not in competition. That was just in the eyes of people who can’t let go of something that happened 4 years ago…
Are we on a playground full of 8 year olds. Grow up.
