Angelina Jolie "freaked out" her eldest son Maddox when he came to visit her on the set of spy thriller Salt - because the Hollywood beauty was disguised as a man.
The actress was frequently visited by her six kids during filming in New York, but she admits one meeting with eight-year-old Maddox left the youngster shocked and confused after he was made to shake hands with a person dressed as a male naval officer - only to discover it was his famous mum.
Jolie recalls, "I said, 'Honey, it's mummy.' I think I freaked him out."
The star further stunned the boy when she proceeded to peel off her prosthetics, removing the fake ears, hands and nose she dons for the action film.
Salt is Jolie's first movie in two years as she stars alongside Leiv Schreiber in Philip Noyce's action packed Salt.
She has already completed work on The Tourist with Johnny Depp and has once again lent her voice to the character of Tigress in Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom.
