Images authentically depict Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in a 2005 photoshoot.
When this infamous photoshoot came out in July 2005, the love triangle between Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston was in full swing. In January of that year, Pitt and Aniston announced their separation after almost five years of marriage; Pitt and Jolie had apparently fallen in love while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” the summer before. Aniston officially filed for divorce the same month that these photos were taken, in March.
Pitt conceptualized the shoot, which had strong parallels to the aesthetic and storyline of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” After the photoshoot was published four months later, Aniston famously said in an interview with Vanity Fair, in regards to Pitt’s photoshoot idea, that “there’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing.”

The article prefaces this quote, saying:
The photoshoot features Pitt and Jolie in 1960s-esque settings and looks, complete with five child models made to resemble miniature Brad Pitts. Although the first photos appear to be the picture of “domestic bliss,” as the title promises – a family around a table saying grace, children splashing in a pool, parents dancing in a living room – it eventually devolves into a darker, alcohol-fueled, and abusive storyline.
