Comedian Omid Djalili claimed the actor hinted that he had already started "despising" his wife.
Djalili said he gave Pitt marriage advice when they co-starred in 2000 movie Spy Game, telling the Daily Express: "I did a scene with Brad in the back of a taxi and it was only a few days after he had married Jennifer. I chatted to him for hours giving him advice about the three stages of marriage.
"Stage one is perfection - blind love. Stage two is the difficult stage because you start to despise everything about her. If you can deal with the baggage you can possibly get to stage three - a harmonious marriage.
"After six weeks Brad came up to me and said, 'I'm definitely in stage two, Omid!' I probably made it go up in flames!"
The couple married in July 2000 and Aniston filed for divorce five years later amid rumours that Pitt was involved with current partner Angelina Jolie.
Pitt and Jolie are reportedly planning a summer wedding.
