Meet Brangelina’s Jewish matchmaker

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie owe their world-famous relationship to a Jewish matchmaker — or so actor Adam Brody joked in an interview with the Huffington Post.

“In terms [of Pitt and Jolie], I hooked them up,” Brody kiddingly claimed, recalling his experience as the pair’s co-star in 2005 film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” (For some mysterious reason, the film’s trailer doesn’t feature Brody, focusing almost entirely on Pitt and Jolie instead. We can’t imagine why.)

Pitt “heeded my advice, and I’m happy for him,” Brody joked.

The 32-year-old actor made the comments while promoting his latest movie, “Damsels in Distress,” but remains best-known for playing incessantly talkative Seth Cohen on teen TV drama “The O.C.” The character is widely credited, among other things, with adding the concept of “Chrismukkah” to the American vernacular.

In a different interview, Brody said his Jewish background allowed him to play an East Coast native in “Damsels,” despite his upbringing in California.

“My parents are from Detroit, which I guess is the Midwest,” he told New York magazine. “They’re Jews …It gives you an East Coast feel. You get a little more neurosis, perhaps.”
