Famed for his appeal to women and his not-so-private life with Angelina Jolie, it's easy to forget that Brad Pitt isn't just a heartthrob and family man, but first and foremost a great actor. We tracked him down on the promotional trail of new film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford for a catch-up...

The secret of Brad's success lies in his choice of intelligent films, both as an actor and producer. As Jesse James he takes on the unlikely role of a cruel and paranoid outlaw, which might not suit his lush physique and blue-eyed beauty, but it doesn't reduce his appeal to ladies all over the planet.

We met up with Brad to talk about his celebrity status, his interpretation of the mythical Jesse James and life in general.
