Mary-Louise Parker has got Brad Pitt’s back!

“Brad is actually a lovely, smart person, not to mention gorgeous,” the actress gushed about her Assassination of Jesse James co-star to Parade.com.

“People just project so much onto him and Angelina [Jolie] which isn’t true,” Parker said. “I just find it so bizarre. It’s like you’ve never been in the room with this person, much less met them but you’re convinced as to who they are and what they’re morality is.”

The internet, Parker explained, has let people “say whatever they feel like about someone.”
