These days, along with wife Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt is one half of the biggest power couple in Hollywood, worth hundreds of millions of dollars among the two as they raise their six children together - but once upon a time, way back in the 1980s, Christina Applegate and Brad Pitt could have been a couple.
Over 25 years later, the woman who played Kelly Bundy in "Married ... With Children" opens up about how Christina Applegate and Brad Pitt met in '89, when the blonde actress actually blew off the "Inglourious Basterds" star, reportedly leaving him for another man.
According to MSN, Christina Applegate's Brad Pitt date was quite public, as she took him to the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, where she ended up ditching him for someone else, though for more than 25 years she has refused to specify who exactly that was, and she continues to do so.
People Magazine reports that, speaking to Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" last Sunday night during a segment called "Plead the Fifth," the "Vacation" actress was asked about that date and who exactly was it she had dumped Pitt for - and she looked more than uncomfortable at the prospect of responding to that.
After having already pled the Fifth Amendment in the previous question (when she was asked about the best-endowed of her male co-stars, it was clear that the Christina Applegate Brad Pitt question took her by surprise, as she asked repeatedly whether she had to answer.
According to Hollywood Life, all Cohen managed the actress to reveal was that it wasn't an actor, although it was a fairly well known personality to the public - but her lips are sealed further.
Later, Pitt and Applegate saw each other but understandably never went out on another date.
Of course, it all turned out for the best, as now Applegate is married to Martyn LeNoble and Pitt to Angelina after being married to Jennifer Aniston - but who was the man that broke Christina Applegate and Brad Pitt apart will apparently remain a mystery - watch the hilariously awkward interview below!
