Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt like to seek solace with fellow parents - because they aren't as starstruck as other members of the public.

The couple, who have six children, are often seen out and about with their large brood - but they prefer to visit places where other parents will be to avoid unwanted attention.

Jolie tells Britain's Hello magazine, "Usually, places where there are other parents with children are okay - other parents are much more respectful of our privacy than many people because they understand what it's like just to want to be with your kids.

"Parents are much kinder to us than some other members of the public."

And the children are left baffled when strangers want to take the couple's picture - but Jolie insists she tells her kids the truth to keep their feet on the ground.

She adds, "When the kids ask us why people are taking our pictures, we say, 'Mommy and Daddy make movies and that's why some people want to know about us'.

We want to make sure that they know there's nothing special or different about us - it is just a fact of our lives that we happen to make movies so people want to take our pictures."
