They've been with each other for nine years and are parents to six children together.

But Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie still take time to send each other handwritten love letters when they are apart.

In an interview with Australia's TV Week, the Oscar winning actress revealed she and her fiancé kept in touch the old fashioned way and mailed letters to each other while they filmed on opposite ends of the world.

The correspondence occurred as they both worked on World War II themed films, with Angelina directing Unbroken - the biopic of Olympian turned war hero Louis Zamperini -  in Australia and Brad starring as a soldier fighting the Nazis in Fury in London.

'He was supportive from a distance and it was quite romantic in a way,' the 39-year-old said.

'We decided to be of that time, when we could imagine he was in the European theater and I was in the Pacific theater, and we wrote handwritten letters to each other that were very connecting for us,
thinking of the people that were separated for months, if not years, at a time back then.'

In the interview, the actress also opened up about being able to show a cut of Unbroken to 97-year-old Zamperini prior to his death from pneumonia on July 2nd.

'I brought him the film on my laptop in the hospital and it was amazing seeing someone at the end of their life watching their life unfold again, at the same time their body was shutting down,' she revealed.

'He wanted me to make the movie to show something hopeful about the strength of the human spirit that can pull us through. He reminded me to have my surgery in the year that I did, and he reminded me to appreciate every day of my life.'

Last February, the mother of six underwent a double mastectomy after genetic tests indicated she had a high risk of developing breast cancer.

Angelina and Brad, 50, won't have to send love letters during their next project as they will reunite onscreen to star in By The Sea.

While details of the plotline are being kept under wraps, The Hollywood Reporter claims that the long-time lovers will play husband and wife in the flick, which is set to be released sometime in 2016.

The movie, which is being written and directed by the Maleficent star, will be shot on location in the picturesque European beachside city of Malta.

Fury opens on November 14th, while Unbroken is set to hit theatres on Christmas Day.
