Jennifer Aniston is long over her split from Brad Pitt -- and according to Zach Galifianakis, she has no interest in taking a walk down memory lane.
During the New Yorker Festival in New York City Saturday, the Hangover star revealed that the 42-year-old actress wasn't keen on his idea to use a Pitt look-alike for his Between Two Ferns comedy segment on Funny or Die.

"I had found this guy [in our hotel] who looked exactly like Brad Pitt. I wanted to use that in some way," Galifianakis, 42, recalled. "I said, 'Jennifer, I have this guy who looks like Brad Pitt. I want to make it seem like I think it's him.'"

"She looked at me like, 'What the f--k?'" an embarrassed Galifianakis admitted. "And I totally agreed with her. How rude of me to do that! Why would she want to talk about that? She get inundated with that sh-t all the time. I totally understood."
A dejected Galifianakis then met with the look-alike to "tell him sorry that we couldn't do the bit."
"People are pretty game, usually," Galifianakis said of his guests on Between Two Ferns. "It's a fun, stupid thing to do."

After Aniston nixed his original idea, Galifianakis enlisted former MTV reality star Tila Tequila, 29, to appear in the skit. During the four-minute clip, Galifianakis made it clear that he favored Tequila, prompting Aniston to (jokingly) storm off.
Tell Us What You Think
9Why should Angelina and Brad Pitt should feel ashamed of Jen? She also stole other woman man
its a skit ppl not real!!!!!!!!! do u read!!!
This guy must have a screw loose. Tasteless, and good for Jennifer.
Very smart, what a jerk this guy must be. Good for Jen.
Jennifer Aniston is so true to herself even at the begining of their brake up her never disrespected Brad Pitt. Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt should be a shame of themselves not happy with braking the girl heart year after year we have to hear how Angelia stole Brad I think Jennifer has the last laugh she has found someone who truely loves her and does not has to dog her ex husband to sell movies Iets face it that is the only reason why Brad disrespects her that way because he knows she sells movie and mags
that was very smart of her. she should definatly steer clear of anything even remotely about brad pitt, could you imagine what a field day the media and brangenlina fans would have with that? they would swear up and down that jen isn't over him and deperatly wanted to work with someone who looked like him
Good job Jen! By the way that bit was funny, I saw the video.
I absolutely love her, she is so real and down to earth, I can just imagine her doing that just like most of us girls wood.
I think this guy is a jerk, and Jen is smart. I believe, she is sooo over him, and the public and media like to keep it going.
