Brian Bouma dated Jennifer Aniston back in 2008, and now the 40-year-old former lighting tech is speaking out about their love affair for the first time.

Bouma tells Star:

    "(dating Jen) was an overwhelming experience. I just want to set the record straight, she's not the person people think she is...All that's written about her being lonely is just ridiculous...She's genuine, sincere and charismatic."


He goes on to say Aniston pursued him on the Canadian set of Love Happens back in 2008. Bouma adds:

    "I was only on set for seven hours. But the old quote says it best: 'She had me at hello'. I had a crush on her. It was impossible not to. Jennifer knocked my socks off."
