  • Place/Date of Birth: Los Angeles, California, United States, 04 June 2020
  • Associated with: Brad Pitt

According to People.com, awed staff at the Aventure-Parc in Massignac, France’s Charente-Limousin region, offered to waive the 5 euro entry fee as soon as they figured out who the celebrity couple were, but Brad and Ange were having none of it.

They insisted on paying and spent over an hour enjoying the park.

The visit came days after Angelina finished filming her new film Wanted in Prague.

The website quotes local French newspaper Charente Libre which spoke to employees at the park about the visit.

One apparently said: "We don’t get French celebrities, so it’s completely crazy to find yourself standing with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the most chased-after couple in the world in front of you."

The park’s six workers were apparently having lunch together outside on the overcast day, when a blacked-out Mercedes pulled up with the Hollywood couple and their kids Maddox, Pax-Thien, and Zahara.

One worker told the website: "To see Brad Pitt knocking around in a bouncy castle with his children [and] screaming like wild animals was like a hallucination."


Angie’s father’s day wish - June 19 2007
Angelina Jolie has been estranged from father Jon Voight for some time - but now the star admits that she would think about sitting down with him again.

She told the Evening Standard: "I am hoping my relationship with my father will be more private in the future. At the end of the day, we both wish the best for each other and we’ll try to start communicating in some way."

The news will come as a relief to Jon, who has made no secret of his desire to mend fences between him and his daughter, as well as play a part in his grandchildren’s lives.

However, Angie has previously accused him of being unfair to his former wife and her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year.

The actress is hitting the promotional circuit to tout her performance in movie, A Mighty Heart, based on the book by Mariane Pearl, wife of the murdered journalist Daniel.

The star, who portrays Mariane, has already had critical acclaim and awards buzz for her performance.

Biography

Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4 1975 the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand.  Raised by her mother after her parents divorced when she was just a year old, Angelinagre up in New York where she kept snakes and lizards as pets and became entranced by the movies. 

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions.  Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes.  At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself.  Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.

At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz.  Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father.  She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2.  Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.

Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom.  However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame.  The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.

Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike.  Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances.  Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox.  At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire.  Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.

In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt.  Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit.  The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
