Table for two: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie leave the Tetou restaurant in France last night after dining out together


A protective Brad Pitt holds on tight to his partner Angelina Jolie as they get mobbed by crowds outside a French restaurant last night.

The Hollywood power couple rounded off the weekend with a romantic meal for two at Tetou Restaurant in Cannes where they are both attending the annual film festival.

Angelina looked fantastic in a three-quarter-length white dress while Brad cut a dash in a suit and open neck white shirt.

Jolie came to the Cannes Film Festival this year to promote Kung Fu Panda 2 while Pitt's drama The Tree of Life premieres on Monday.

Angelina revealed she loved making the children's Kung Fu Panda movies - because they're both entertaining and educational for her children.

The actress said Kung Fu Panda 2 resonates in particular because it has an adoption theme - and because three of the six Jolie-Pitt children - Maddox, Pax and Zahara - are all adopted.

Jolie, 35, said at the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie is premiering: 'The words adoption, birth mothers and orphanages are happy words in our household, and we talk about those subjects all the time.'

Jolie voices the character Tigress in both Kung Fu Panda films and she added: 'I'm especially excited to be in this movie because of my daughters.

'She's one of the best characters I've ever played. My kids love it, and in many ways I did it for them.

'At the end of the day, we're all big kids. Life is very much about family and the family you choose.

'You can define your own destiny despite what happened to you in the past.'


Looking good: Angelina wore a three-quarter-length white dress while Brad slipped into a smart suit


Meanwhile Jolie's directorial debut has picked up a U.S. distributor.

Her Bosnian War film In the Land of Blood and Honey will be released on December 23 by FilmDistrict, a subsidiary of GK Films.

Announcing the acquisition on Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival, GK Films founder Graham King said Jolie's debut 'signals the arrival of a visceral and compelling storyteller'.

The film features a completely local Bosnian cast, most of whom were children during the 1990s war.

Growing up fast: Brad Pitt plays the doting father as he takes blonde twins Knox and Vivienne to the park

Doting dad: Brad Pitt takes his twins Knox, left, and Vivienne to the park in Hollywood



It costs Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie a whopping $10million a year to raise their six children.

But despite the huge bills for nannies, language tutors and private jets, the youngsters prefer nothing more than spending time with their parents.

Brad treated his youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, to a trip to the park in Hollywood this week.


Growing up: The twins share biological sister Shiloh's blonde hair and round face


Like any proud father, Pitt took photographs of the two-year-olds on his mobile phone, coached them as they came down the slide, and kept a watchful eye as they ran around.

Both looked the spitting image of their older sister Shiloh when she was younger, as they played together.

The pair share her blonde shoulder-length hair, but while Knox has inherited his father's blue eyes, Vivienne's appeared to be her mother's dark blue/grey.


Playtime: Brad keeps a watchful eye as his son Knox tries out the slide at the playground


Pitt and Jolie are planing on moving their family to the south of France, where they are renovating a £35million château.

Pitt's parents are to join them there, to provide a stable presence and hands on help with the children.

Perhaps they will also help cut down on the childcare bills.

As well as spending $5 million on private jets, the Hollywood pair splashed out $900,000 last year on a nanny for each of the children.



Like father like son: Knox has inherited his father's blue eyes and dress sense


A source told U.S. magazine InTouch: 'They spend more than a million dollars on private tutors who travel around the world with them.

'They [even] once spent $500,000 for one stay at the Waldorf [Astoria hotel in New York].'

The couple also spent an estimated several million dollars on first-class airfare and hotel bills for the children.

What will Jen say? Aniston's best friend Courteney Cox and ex husband Brad Pitt dine together

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A-list dinner: Courteney Cox and Brad Pitt both dined together with a group of friends at Beso in Hollywood last night


She is a card-carrying member of Team Aniston, but it seems Courteney Cox put her allegiance aside last night.

The Cougar Town star joined her best friend's ex husband Brad Pitt for dinner at Hollywood restaurant Beso.

The two were part of a group of 12 people attending a dinner party to celebrate their manager Cynthia Pett-Dante's birthday.

'They hugged and kissed when they greeted each other,' an onlooker tells America's People magazine. 'They talked for a while.'

While they did not sit next to each other, they did spent a considerable amount of time together.


Allegiance aside: Courteney counts Jennifer Aniston as her best friend


'They were chatting, catching up,' the onlooker added.

'They both seemed happy and totally relaxed, very at ease. And they were both smiling the entire time. It didn't seem awkward at all.'

Brad, 47, and Jennifer, 42, split six years ago - he now has six children with his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie while she is currently single.

Courteney, 46, comforted her former Friends co-star after the high profile divorce and Jennifer often joined her family on holidays and special occasions.

The Just Go With It star is also godmother to her 6-year-old daughter, Coco.
