"I didn`t think it was something I should (do). I didn`t know what I was looking for, but it wasn't something that obviously spoke to me," Tittletattle.com quoted her, as saying.

"I hadn`t done comedy or that kind of action comedy romance (and) I didn`t think I was going to, but I had somebody who was close to me, who read (the script) and said she thought it was great. I trusted the opinion of some people around me who said, 'If you are ever going to do a comedy, this is probably the best kind for you to get to do. This is fun," she added.

The role brought Angelina Jolie and her lover Brad Pitt together.

Now the gorgeous pair could be ready to reduce their acting careers, in order to concentrate on their family.

The Hollywood couple have three children - 5-year-old Maddox and 1-year-old Zahara, who are both adopted, and baby Shiloh Nouvel, born seven months ago - and Jolie insists that they do not want to be part-time parents.

"I'm hoping that as we got older, we'll do less films," the actress told chat show host Larry King. "And just to know, we don't raise our kids in Hollywood. They don't go to sets every day. They travel the world and we do many, many other things."
