Hollywood super-couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stayed in a
peaceful Canterbury village during filming for new blockbuster film
World War Z, it has been revealed.

The celebrity couple, dubbed Brangelina, rested in a luxury cottage in Ickham with their six children while Brad shot scenes at the old Pfizer site at Sandwich for his new zombie horror picture, due for release next year.

The £3,000-a-week cottage, known as The Treasury, sleeps 18 and
is available to rent from Canterbury firm Mulberry
Cottages.

Emma Reynolds, marketing manager at the rental firm, confirmed
the cottage was booked by the film's production company ahead of
the couple's visit.

She said: "The property was booked out by a production company
during that time.

"They were rumoured to be staying with us, but due to
confidentiality we cannot confirm or deny they were our
guests."

Their visit to Kent has led to a number of reported sightings on
entertainment websites by excited fans.

we had his security staying with us, but I'm not going to comment
any further."

It also emerged the couple took their children to Howletts
Wildlife Animal Park, but a spokesman refused to confirm the
visit.
