Vince Vaughn was not keen on the extra attention he received when he dated Jennifer Aniston . Speaking to
Playboy
magazine in an interview posted this week, the 44-year-old
Swingers ,
Wedding Crashers and
True Detective season 2 actor opened up publicly for the first time about his one-year relationship with the 46-year-old
Friends and
Cake actress, his co-star in the 2006 movie
The Breakup . He and Aniston, one of the most popular actresses in the world and a tabloid favorite, began dating while filming the movie in 2005, the year she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. By December 2006, Vaughn and Aniston announced that they had called it quits. Their reps said at the time that the actors “continue to be good friends.”
Vaughn told Playboy Magazine, “You like someone and you’re spending time with them; that’s separate and that was all fine. But I really spent most of that time finding ways not to be drawn into the attention. I think lying low and not talking about it put me in a good position later, because I just wasn’t part of anything.” He added, “You know, she’s great, But for me personally—and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way—I never enjoyed the paparazzi side of it.”
