“There were lots of scenes I wanted to change or cut. I realised it was going to be me (naked) in that bathtub. But I told myself, ‘Put all of that aside... You can’t change or cut this scene because you’ve had a mastectomy, or because we’re married and people are going to analyse this or that. That would be cheating’,” she said.

In the film, Brangelina portray a vacationing couple trying to save its marriage. The actors made the movie while on their own honeymoon in Malta after tying the knot in France in August, 2014.
