Brad Pitt’s legacy continues to cast a shadow as Jennifer Aniston moves on with her new boyfriend, Jim Curtis, according to a new report.
The Friends alum is said to be focusing on her new relationship and even confirmed the romance with a Valentine’s Day post.
However, Rob Shuter, citing a source, revealed that Curtis feels “intimidated” by Jennifer’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
They said he is aware of the attention surrounding her past and understands the dynamics of being in a relationship that attracts public attention.
“Jim is deeply intimidated,” the source told Shuter. “Brad Pitt is not just an ex-husband. He is a cultural icon – one of the sexiest men who ever lived.
“That body alone became part of pop history,” the source continued. “The Brad and Jen story never really died.”
“It’s not that Jim thinks he’s competing – it’s that he’s getting into something that the public still romanticizes.”
Another source said Curtis is “confident, but also human. When your girlfriend’s former marriage is still being treated as unfinished business by fans, that’s a lot to take in.”
This comes after a source said this Heat magazine that Aniston wants to introduce her boyfriend to Pitt because she believes an early meeting between them would be the best approach.
The proposed dinner is also expected to include Pitt’s girlfriend, jewelry director Ines de Ramon, who is reportedly relaxed about the idea.
