All’s fair in love and war! Brad Pitt and his onscreen wife Marion Cotillard get close and nearly kiss in a new poster for their upcoming World War II romantic drama, Allied.
Pitt, 52, looks dapper in a tuxedo while Cotillard, 41, stuns in a silky silver gown as they lean in to lock lips in the photo. The Fight Club actor plays intelligence officer Max Vatan, who falls in love and marries French resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour (Cotillard) in the 1940s-set drama. Their love story gets complicated when he finds out she may be a Nazi spy.
The movie has been talked-about not just for its star-studded cast and suspenseful plot, but also because last month reports suggested that Pitt had an affair with Cotillard, causing the actor’s split from his wife, Angelina Jolie. However, a source told Us Weekly at the time that the Inception actress “had nothing to do with” Jolie filing for divorce.
Cotillard put the affair rumors to rest and confirmed that she’s pregnant and expecting her second child with longtime partner Guillaume Canet in an Instagram post on September 21. “This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into,” she captioned a photo of a bird. “I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need.”
Cotillard even sent well wishes to her costar during the difficult time. “Secondly, to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn’t distressing,” she wrote. “And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both of whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love, Marion.”
