The Oscar-winning actress said she had learnt the hard way when her own engagement to Pitt ended before the eyes of the world in 1997.

“It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with,” she told Time magazine. “I learned my lesson at 24.”
