Last week, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt accepted undisclosed damages in London’s High Court to settle a privacy
claim against a British tabloid that had reported in January that they
were planning to split. And Angelina has kept talking up Pitt during her Tokyo promotions of her new film Salt.

“He was just a wonderful father,” she said and described how he brought the kids to the set. She also credited Brad as the reason that she’s able to work and have this big family.

But when the kids came to the set, “They played with fake blood, and they found mommy very strange in her different hair,” she said.

Jolie, seen here showing a lot leg at today’s Tokyo premiere of Salt, once surprised her 8-year-old son Maddox with her disguise as a male naval officer from the film and she shook his hand and then said to him, “Honey, it’s mommy.”

“I think I freaked him out,” she said with a laugh, adding that he then watched her peel off her fake ears, hands and nose.

“I play these roles, but I’m always in every minute their mom first,” she said. “I’m a bit of a goofy. I’m funny at home, I think.” She said the kids won’t be seeing her film because it can be confusing and scary for them to see someone try to kill their mother. I would probably agree.
