Clean-shaven and with his hair slicked in the style of the day, Brad made his way along the Hampstead pavement and around a vintage car.

The actor covered his navy uniform, complete with black tie and pale blue shirt, with a knee-length blue trench coat.

He carried his peaked cap and brown leather briefcase in his right arm while walking down the wet residential street.

The historic thriller is set in 1942 and sees Brad's character, Max Vatan, fall in love with French agent Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard) during a mission to kill a German ambassador holed up in Casablanca.

According to uinterview, 'the two ultimately marry and start a family – but Max soon learns that Marianne is likely a Nazi spy'. 

The film is directed Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future) and also stars Lizzy Claplan ( Masters of Sex) and Jared Harris (Lincoln).

The film is due to hit cinemas later this year on November 23.

Brad and Angelina Jolie, along with their sizable brood, moved into their eight-bedroom, £14,700-per-month rental in Surrey at the end of February, Us Weekly reported.

The Jolie-Pitt's new family home is described as a 'beautiful, White House-style' home in the well-heeled county, an area popular with commuters to London.

In addition to eight-bedrooms, the spacious estate has an indoor pool and gym, and is close to the River Thames.

Angelina and Brad previously looked to buy a home in London, but were unable to find a property with enough privacy and security.
