Matt Damon In Awe of Angelina Jolie

Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie stared together in "The Good Shepard", a movie about the birth of the CIA, and Matt cannot speak highly enough of Angelina and her acting skills. He also talks about the constant presence of the paparazzi where ever Angelina went during the filming of the movie.

"There was just that whole thing that would occur when she would come to work, which was, you know, suddenly 50 photographers would be standing where we were shooting and there were swarms of people around and all this interest,'' co-star Matt Damon said. "But as much craziness as surrounds her and surrounds Brad (Pitt) and their life, she was there to absolutely focus on work. "If you'd walked in and asked: 'Which one of these people is surrounded by photographers everywhere they go?' you would never point to her - except for the fact she's so beautiful.'' Damon, the star of the movie franchise spun off from Robert Ludlum's Bourne series of novels, and an Academy Award-winning writer for Good Will Hunting is obviously in awe of Jolie's ability to shake off the constant attention directed at her and concentrate on her day job - acting. "Once we'd get inside the armoury and it was quiet and we were just doing our work, I realised why she's Angelina Jolie,'' Damon said. "It's like there's this whole celebrity side of her, this whole kind of image that other people have created, and then there's who she really is. And first and foremost she's an incredible actor."

As we as we mentioned yesterday Brad Pitt has been having a difficult time with the paparazzi this week, and Angelina has totally been out of the public eye since her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died last weekend. On one hand I think that these actors who court the media in the early days of their career and then resent them when they make it big, don't really have a leg to stand on, but where do we draw the line? Shouldn't Angelina Jolie be able to make funeral arrangements and whatever else she needs to do, without being hounded by photographers? It's a difficult question and one there is no answer to, especially when secretly we all really want to know what's going on in their private lives.
