Hollywood Celebrity couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the British premiere of the movie Beowulf on Sunday in London’s Leicester Square. The Goodwill ambassador, who recently has won ‘Freedom Award’ from the International Rescue Committee due to her efforts to protect the refugees, chatted with fans and posed for pictures.

It’s so, so nice to see all these fans here, it always is. I haven’t been here for a little bit. I lived here for a few years, and I do plan to come back more often. I think it’s remarkable that it has the rating it has. It’s quite an extraordinary film and some of it shocked me.

James Bond

Since Daniel Craig has signed up to play the famous role of James Bond, the actor has become the ultimate James Bond after playing the notorious spy in the latest Bond film. Daniel first starred as 007 in ‘Casino Royale’ in 2006 and is currently filming his second British spy movie, apparently titled Bond 22. Another good news is that Daniel Craig has now signed a contract with MGM for another three films, which is expected to net him over US $60 million.
