On the spectrum of worst case scenarios, finding your significant other in an alleged affair with Brad Pitt ranks somewhere between sleeping with your twin and dying a slow, painful death in a vat of quicksand.

Unfortunately, thats exactly the position Marion Cotillards longtime partner, actor and director Guillaume Canet, has been in after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt earlier this week.

Once the celebrity-sized mushroom cloud settled, rumors of an affair between Pitt and Cotillard, who play lovers in the upcoming World War II drama Allied, surfaced as a possible cause for the Brangelina implosion. However, Cotillard swiftly denied any romantic entanglement with Pitt in an Instagram post, writing that she hopes Brad and Angelina will find peace in this very tumultuous moment.
