Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon in the Good ShepherdAngelina Jolie and Matt Damon have said it was “weird” to play husband and wife in their new film The Good Shepherd because they’re such good friends in real life - but at least their real life partners didn’t mind.

Speaking on Good Morning America this week, Matt, who stars with Brad Pitt in the Ocean’s series, said: “It’s weird… We all know each other.”

Angelina added: “In reality both the people we’re involved with couldn’t have cared less about [us having to kiss on screen] because they know us.”

“You know, it’s one of those things where it’s like the least threatening person… You know, ‘good luck to you guys, I hope it’s not too awkward.’”
