Angelina Jolie has admitted that it was the complexity of Evelyn Salt that attracted her to the character in her new movie Salt.

It's been two years since we saw Jolie on the big screen, Wanted and Changeling being her last projects, but is back this summer with the all action movie.

The Oscar winner takes on the role of Salt, a CIA agent who goes on the run when accused of being a Russian spy.

Speaking to MTV she said: "Maybe that's why I liked it so much, getting to play this character.

"I got to be all different people all the time. I think there is [a complex] element to all of us. That's why we like espionage."

However the actress revealed that she did relate to her onscreen character Evelyn Salt: "There's a part of us that has a private self.

"We also have these sides to us that maybe we think it's not as much keeping secrets, but there's that side that not everybody knows about you or things that you're capable of that you haven't yet explored, that you're waiting to do when the opportunity arises."

Salt is released 20th August.
