Despite the constant denial of their relationship, rumours were swarming that Brad and Angelina were more than just on-screen lovers during the filming of their action movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

Brad Pitt
His performance in Babel is thought to be the point where Brad became thought of as an actor again, not just the ‘Br\' in ‘Brangelina\'. The film was a big winner at the Cannes Film Festival, preceding the box office success of Ocean\'s 13. His formula of alternating blockbuster heroes with more serious, ‘interesting\' film roles seems to be a winning one
