The actor is no stranger to the genre having already had big screen success in a number of action movies, including 'Mrs and Mrs Smith' and 'Spy Game' opposite Robert Redford.

Brad - who has two adopted children, Maddox, five, and 18-month-old Zahara, and one biological daughter, four-month-old Shiloh Nouvel, with partner Angelina Jolie - is currently filming the latest addition in another successful franchise, 'Ocean's Thirteen', in Los Angeles
