Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt grew very close during the production of Doug Liman's film Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005). Indeed, Angelina reportedly gave Brad a special gift: a dried bat in a small vial* - to keep in his car’s glove compartment. This ODDITY she explained, was to protect Brad against accidents.
