It's an unconventional honeymoon, but Brad and Angelina are never ones to stick to the norm.

Angelina Jolie has been pictured on the set of By The Sea, the film she and husband Brad Pitt are both starring in.

Filming began in Malta in mid-August, with the couple taking a brief break to get married on August 23 in France, before returning to Malta to continue work.

Working holiday: Angelina Jolie has been spotted on the set of her and Brad Pitt's new film By The Sea, which is also doubling as their 'dysfunctional honeymoon'

Brad joked that it was their 'dysfunctional honeymoon'. 

Speaking to USA Today, the actor said, 'Yeah, it was our choice. It's been fun. It's been challenging but really fun.'

The film is written and directed by 39-year-old Angelina, and is her and Brad's first project together since Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005 - the film which saw them falling in love both and off screen. 

It documents the challenge a longtime married couple face as they go on vacation throughout Europe in the 1970s.

Speaking about the project to US TV show Extra, newlywed Angelina said of the project, 'It's the kind of movie we love but aren't often cast in. It's a very experimental, independent-type film where we get to be actors together and be really raw, open, try things.' 

Brad Pitt recently described his wedding as 'amazing'.

The Fury star admits their relationship feels even more secure since they tied the knot.

Asked about their intimate nuptials, the 50-year-old star told Good Morning America, on Friday: 'It was an amazing day and I think there's an added security that comes with it.'

Despite being very happy in his personal life, the heartthrob admits he was left feeling exhausted and traumatised for some time after filming his new World War II drama.

He told E! News: 'I've always heard these stories of actors having a hard time shaking a role. It was true this time. 

'We were really embedded with this one. I think the biggest challenge was when the film starts...they're three-and-a-half years into the war.'

The boys: Pitt, Jon Bernthal, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena, and Shia LaBeouf appeared on the ABC morning show to promote their new movie Fury

He added: 'They've been through Africa, they've been through France, they've been through Belgium, now they're deep into Germany, and to feel that exhaustion, the years of just psychic trauma...I think we got that [feeling, too].'

Meanwhile, Pitt and Jolie tied the knot in August on the urging of their children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

And their father said the brood is thrilled that the union is now official.

He recently told People, 'They like it. They like it.'

All six children were very much a part of the nuptials that took place at Chateau Miraval in the South of France on August 23.

Jolie wore a floor length white dress with a veil that had the drawings of her little ones on it.

'The children wrote vows and asked us to make promises to each other,' said the Malificent actress. 'It was very sweet what they came up with.'
