“Mr. & Mrs. Smith“ was not only a successful romantic action comedy, but also the beginning of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s love story. Hard to believe this romance almost did not happen. Originally Nicole Kidman was supposed to play „Mrs. Smith“. After finding that out, Pitt did not want to play “Mr. Smith” anymore. Then, Kidman left the project as well and Angelina got hire for the female lead. Surprisingly, Brad Pitt suddenly then agreed to play “Mr. Smith“ again!
