Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt famously fell in love after shooting action movie Mr & Mrs Smith and according to the Maleficent star her children love watching the movie.
The 2005 movie saw the famous pair star as husband and wife and life soon began imitating art as soon after shooting wrapped rumours of a romance were rife.
Speaking about whether her children had seen any of her movies at the press conference for latest flick Maleficent Ang admitted they had. Speaking today in London she told reporters: "The older ones recently saw Mr & Mrs Smith and I think they thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen.
"Watching your parents fight as spies is some kind of strange fantasy."

Apparently son Knox is more of a Tomb Raider fan though: "My littlest one, Knox, sees Tomb Raider and thinks that Mummy can do all those things. [Maleficent] is one I'm the most excited about because I think it's one we can all see and that they're really going to like."
They might like watching their parents on screen, Ang admitted she really doesn't want the kids in the film business.
"Oh god, I hope not! We never have intended to put our children in films and encourage them to be actors. We encourage them to be happy in whatever they want to be," the 38 year-old said when asked if she wanted them to act.
While daughter Vivienne does act as the young princess Aurora in the movie, Ang insisted it was out of necessity rather than pushing her daughter for the role.
"The reason we ended up needing to put Vivienne in the film is because all the children we brought to set, including crew members' kids, were terrified. They would cry or freeze.
"They certainly couldn't do a scene with me. It was genuinely out of necessity that it had to be Vivienne so that we could get a good scene. It's still funny to us, like anybody, it's our little girl. She's silly and sweet, and the idea that she's in a movie is hilarious to Mum and Dad."
Ang added that she would be stepping back from her acting roles to concentrate on life behind the camera as well as her various other commitments.
She revealed: "[Acting] is going to take a backseat. I've had a wonderful career and I'm very happy to have all the opportunities I've had to tell stories and to work for as long as I have.
"I'm sure there will be a few more films, but I would like to focus more on writing and directing, and above all I'd like to focus more on my work with the UN."
