Racy decade-old photos of Angelina Jolie posing semi-nude and in bondage gear have been released by a popular tabloid.

Eight raunchy snaps, allegedly taken in 1999 by a friend, have been published in Star magazine.

The actress is pictured with black tape over her nipples and a dog leash around her neck in some of the images.

Star's sources allege the photos were taken during a 14-hour drug binge.

Jolie, 35, has admitted to using drugs in the past, before settling down and starting a family with partner Brad Pitt.

She has also alluded to a "dark" past, telling USA today in a recent interview, "There's certainly a side of me that isn't completely... sane. Or completely 'even' all the time. We all have our dark sides."
