Jolie praises Pitt as a 'real man'

The actors, whose on-screen chemistry crackled in their 2005 film "Mr & Mrs Smith", have six children.

Actress Angelina Jolie is gaga over her partner Brad Pitt's parenting skills and says he is a real gentleman.

"I am very lucky with Brad. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man," Jolie has been quoted as saying by dailymail.co.uk.

"He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man. And physically he's a real man," she said, adding: "In all things that it means."

The actors, whose on-screen chemistry crackled in their 2005 film "Mr & Mrs Smith", have six children.

Recently, Pitt had hinted about tying the knot with Jolie as the children have been pressurising them.

But when asked about marriage plans, Jolie said: "We are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together."

The actress has been married twice before. When she was 20, she wed British actor Jonny Lee Miller before divorcing him two years later. Soon after she married actor Billy Bob Thornton, but that also failed after a couple of years.

Now Jolie wants to be prudent.

"I love my job and I love my family. But I'm not 20 anymore and I'm going to want to do a lot of other things with my life. At some point I will slow down."
