Brad Pitt felt no sparks with Kidman

London, Aug 9 (IANS) Actor Brad Pitt had initially pulled out of his 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" because he felt a lack of chemistry with the movie's original actress, Nicole Kidman, claims a book.

The film's producer Arnon Milchan says Pitt, 47, was unhappy as there were no sparks with Kidman. But when he cast Angelina Jolie, Pitt called back to say he was happy to play the role, reports thesun.co.uk.

It was quite a life-changing decision for Pitt, who was then married to Jennifer Aniston, as he fell in love with Jolie.

"Jen didn't believe he was involved. He eventually admitted it. Jen was furious and threw him out," said Milchan.
