  • Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt loved listening to Radiohead 
  • Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt had the same taste in music 

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt tied the knot in 2005, but they got divorced just five years later.

Even though their marriage was short-lived, there was one thing that Aniston and Pitt shared with each other.

During her interview with Rolling Stone in 2001, the “Friends” star revealed that she and Pitt have similar tastes in music. In fact, music also played an important role in their relationship.

“We do have similar tastes — very eclectic in that we’ll listen to pretty much anything. We also go through phases together, like that band Bran Van 3000, their first album,” she said.

Aniston also said that when she and Pitt first started dating, they both loved listening to Radiohead. The band reportedly sounded good during that period in their relationship.

“The Morning Show” also revealed that Pitt asked her to buy the album of Ours just before she went to her interview. At that time, Aniston has not heard of the band, but she assumed that Ours was a junior-Radiohead band.

“I imagine there must be a lot of bands like that now because everyone wants to be Radiohead. I’d like to be Radiohead. It’s not a bad thing,” she said.

Even though Aniston and Pitt shared the same taste in music, the former couple couldn’t be more different from one another. There were rumors that Pitt wanted to have kids with Aniston, but the actress didn’t want children.

During her interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston clarified that she never said that she didn’t want to have kids. But the actress did say that some women are built to be wives and have babies, but she doesn’t know if this what’s meant to happen for her.

In her op-ed piece of the Huffington Post, the “Murder Mystery” star said that a woman doesn’t need to be a mother or to be married to be complete.
