He said: "Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I've ever met.

"But people have different chemistry, they have different lives. It's not about years, it's about going out with somebody, being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out. You're either a cheater or you break up and I'm not the first, I'm the second."

The 30-year-old, who has previously been linked to Cameron Diaz and Jessica Simpson, added: "I'm going to be honest on the way in to my relationships and I'm going to be honest on the way out of my relationships. I'm sorry that the story's not interesting. But it's about time that somebody stands up for that girl and I think she's great."
