Matt Damon and Angelina JolieMatt Damon has said he believes Angelina Jolie’s acting talent is more awe-inspiring than her beauty after the two worked together on new film The Good Shepherd - but that’s not to say he doesn’t think she’s beautiful.

He said regarding his co-star this week: “She’s just absolutely beautiful, but she’s a terrific actress and that kind of overpowers her beauty, believe it or not, when you’re right next to her.”

He also revealed that he’s not surprised by the amount of attention she and partner Brad Pitt get wherever the go: “On the days she worked, there were like 50 cameras and all these people.”

“They have to deal with a lot of that stuff.”

“People are fascinated by her and by [Brad]. And them together - it’s like the perfect storm.”
