Gwen Stefani Dreams of Being The Next Angelina Jolie, Kissing Brad Pitt?

Gwen Stefani almost became Hollywood’s next Angelina Jolie. The former No Doubt singer admits that she was very close to winning the lead role in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s first film together, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

Gwen Stefani is known for being one of the most recognizable pop stars in the world, but apparently she was looking to shift gears in her career over a decade ago when she tried out for the titular role in 2005’s sexy spy thriller, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith.’ Unfortunately for Gwen Stefani though, the role went to her good friend, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who happened to fall in love with Brad Pitt while filming the movie.

Gwen Stefani told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show, “I feel like I almost got it. I went to a bunch of auditions. The whole acting thing really feels like something I could do. Whenever I’ve done it, whenever I had moments where it works, it’s just like performing. You hit a moment. And that’s what movies are: a series of moments.”

And while Gwen Stefani did manage to show off her acting chops in 2004’s ‘The Aviator,’ she hasn’t had much luck on the big screen. But Blake Shelton’s girlfriend doesn’t seem to be harboring any envious feelings, as Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie have managed to hold on to their under-the-radar friendship throughout the years.

The two celebrity moms have even organized play dates for their children in both London and Los Angeles and make the time to see each other in their busy schedules whenever they are in the same city at the same time.

Yet, could you imagine if Gwen Stefani won the role of Mrs. Smith? That means the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie romance would have never began on set of the film. Angelina Jolie herself admitted that she first fell in love with the sexy actor on the set of ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith,’ which of course led to the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorce later that year.

If Gwen Stefani won the role, she would be the lucky actress kissing and simulating make-out scenes with Brad Pitt, and not Angelina Jolie.

Ultimately, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s relationship has made them Hollywood’s golden couple. Still, many fans can’t help but wonder if Gwen Stefani is still dreaming to be the next Angelina Jolie.
