Angelina: 'I wouldn't sleep with Brad'

Amid persistent rumours that she is having an affair with Brad Pitt, actress Angelina Jolie has admitted that she 'thinks the world of him' and they 'get on great'.

But she insists she is not sleeping with the 41-year-old star, who in January announced that his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was over.

'Absolutely not,' said Miss Jolie, 29. 'To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that.'

She added, however, that Pitt was 'a great actor and he is a really great guy.

He is very real and down to earth. He is goofy and funny and very good.'

Miss Jolie, who has been married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller and American Billy Bob Thornton, is estranged from her father, Midnight Cowboy star Jon Voight. He left her actress mother Marcheline Bertrand when Angelina was a toddler.

Rumours started that Miss Jolie and Pitt were more than friends while they were filming their movie Mr and Mrs Smith last summer. Last month, they were seen together on a romantic break in Kenya.

Pitt is currently in Morocco making another film, while Miss Jolie is at home in Buckinghamshire.

Sources say the big test of whether they are an item or not will be whether Pitt turns up for her 30th birthday next Saturday.
