Parenting? It's a walk in the park: Angelina Jolie takes four of her six children for a day out while father Brad is at hard at work

By Marcus Barnes





They're probably quite a handful so you have to give Angelina Jolie some brownie points for managing to keep a handle on her brood of children.



The Hollywood actress, 37, took four of her six offspring to a park in Glasgow for some play time while their father Brad Pitt continued work on his new movie World War Z.



Angelina Jolie was accompanied by a female who appeared to be a nanny as well as a male associate likely to be a bodyguard.



Parklife!: Angelina Jolie holds Vivien in her arms while Zahara stands next to a lady thought to be one of the Jolie-Pitt's nannies as they spent a day out in Glasgow



Back to nature: (l-r) Vivien, Shiloh, Knox and Zhara enjoy a day out in the greenery of a park in Scotland





The actress took Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and twins Vivien and Knox, three, for a spot of fun and games in the grassy area - perhaps because they grew a little restless while at their hotel.



Notably absent from the pictures are Pax and Maddox, the elder boys, who may well have opted out of the day trip to spend time playing computer games or something a little more mature.



Angelina's outfit was par for the course for the actress, wearing her much favoured colour black from top to toe.



Her outfit consisted of a black sweater, black jeans and black knee-high Wellington style boots.



Fenced off: The children give each other the runaround



You're it!: Shiloh gives chase to Knox during the day out with their mother Angelina Jolie



Assistance: While Angelina is no doubt a capable mother, with six children to care for it's unsurprising that she has a nanny to help out





Her female companion wore a black and white striped pullover with blue jeans and black UGG boots.



Meanwhile the children were suitably dressed for the lukewarm temperatures in the Scottish city, where it is currently 17 degrees centigrade.



Zahara was dressed in a black duffle coat with a fur-lined hood - underneath she had a navy top, black jeans and colourful, patterned wellies.



Shiloh wore a red zip up fleece with a striped blue over a white top, khaki coloured trousers and traditional green wellies.



Come on! Zahara appears to shout during the childrens' mini adventure



Leading the way: Shiloh marches back to her mother, thumb in mouth, with Knox and Zahara following right behind





Meanwhile the twins Know and Vivien were wrapped up in their own individual outfits - Vivien in a pink top, with black jeans and matching pink boots.



Knox on the other hand had a duffle coat on similar to Zahara's with beige bottoms and green boots covered with a colourful pattern.



The family are in Scotland where father Brad Pitt is shooting scenes for his latest movie project World War Z.



Family day out: Angelina took four of her six children to the park - but Maddox and Pax were missing, perhaps preferring to stay at their temporary accommodation





And the film has become a big event in Glasgow with whole districts being shut off while the crew transform the Scottish city into Philadelphia.



Today a whole area of the city was shut down as the action scenes began to take shape.



A stunt involving a dustbin truck smashing through rows of traffic was shot in the centre of Glasgow, shutting down the whole road were the scene took place.



Yesterday Brad, 47, was seen taking a break from filming accompanied by the pretty brunette who is likely to be a set manager.



Of course, his partner Angelina Jolie will have little to worry about - the dynamic between the actor and his on-set companion is nothing more than a professional working relationship.

A threat?: How will Angelina Jolie react to Brad's close working relationship with the pretty lady?





However her beauty could well cause a slight bit of jealousy on Angelina's part, which is only natural for any man or woman whose partner works closely with an attractive member of the opposite sex.



Glasgow is the latest city to undergo an amazing transformation thanks to the new zombie thriller.



Film staff have so far managed to transform Valletta, in Malta, and Falmouth, in Cornwall, into a world dealing with the aftermath of a global zombie war for the same film.



And this week these post-apocalyptic scenes have come to Glasgow, as Brad Pitt and his crew bring the living dead to the Scottish city.

And Brad, 47, was right in the thick of it all as he chatted to his crew and watched as the streets were turned into the U.S. city.



Transformed: Glasgow has undergone a complete makeover to look like Philadelphia where there movie is set





Cochrane Street has been renamed John F Kennedy Boulevard and American road signs and street names were put up while yellow taxi cabs and white police cars lined the streets as Philadelphia came to life.



Glasgow was chosen to double as the Pennsylvanian city because of the huge similarities between them including the architecture, wide roads and grid layout of the cities.



Local people have been recruited as zombie extras and Glasgow City Council said the production will involve almost 1,200 people and the impact on local economy is expected to be more than £2 million.

All aboard the Brangelina Express! Couple charter an entire train to take them and family from London to Glasgow

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN



Scotland bound: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their children arrive at Euston station to board their chartered train to Glasgow



They've been more than happy to mingle with the general public at the theatre and while out shopping.



But Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided that their family's five hour journey to Scotland should be done away from prying eyes and autograph hunters.



And they clearly decided that taking over a first class carriage wasn't going to be enough for their brood - so they chartered the entire train instead.





Staying close: Zahara follows her father out of the car as they arrive at the station





The A-list couple and their six children were snapped arriving at Euston station this morning in a large black people carrier and surrounded by bodyguards.



They were then taken to their Virgin train and got comfortable for the long journey to Scotland, where Brad is set to film scenes for his new film World War Z.





Is this one ours? Angelina and Brad make their way to their rented train





A spokeswoman for Virgin Trains confirmed to Mail Online that the couple had chartered a train for their trip to Glasgow.



She wouldn't reveal prices and said each client would be charged on their individual needs.





I'm with Mummy: Maddox peers round Angelina as she gathers the children's things for the journey







We all set? Angelina does a final head count before setting off for the train





She added: 'As far as I am aware, Brad and Angelina hired the whole train. It is a bespoke service so prices would vary on the individual, people have different needs from station requirements to catering.'



Brad, 47, and Angelina, 36, have been staying in Richmond while Brad shoots his film and has been down in Falmouth, Cornwall filming scenes on a ship.





Glasgow USA: Yellow taxi cabs line the streets of the city as it becomes a film set for Brad's new movie World War Z





The family have been to the theatre in London twice during their stay and hanging out in Richmond, where they visited a family-run toy shop.



Speaking to MailOnline, Karen Khatchik, who runs the store with her husband and sister-in-law, said: 'She (Angelina) bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned.'





Remember to drive on the right side: An American car comes to a stop in the middle of the street





New traffic laws: UK street signs are replaced with US ones as they set is built





Khatchik could mean today's trip to Glasgow and the items the actress bought would certainly keep the children amused.



Brad's latest film is a post-apocalyptic horror film based on the novel of the same name by Max Brooks.





Supporting local businesses: Angelina and her daughters Zahara and Shiloh shun Hamleys for a family run toy shop in Richmond





Brad plays Brooks who scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived ten years after the human victory over the world wide zombie epidemic.



Marc Forster, who directed Bond classic Quantum Of Solace, is the man behind the lens, while Mireille Enos, who plays leading lady Sarah Linden in The Killing, will play Brad's wife.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Their local toy shop: Angelina Jolie and her girls Zahara and Shiloh visited their local toy shop in Richmond, one they visited two weeks ago



They have been taking in the sights and sounds of London and given their bank balance Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could spoil their brood rotten.

Angelina, 36, went on a low-key shopping spree with two of her daughters Shiloh, five, and Zahara, six.





Modest spend: Speaking to MailOnline Karen Khatchik, who runs the store said: 'She bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned'





The threesome visited Toy Station in Richmond, a local shop they have visited before.



Speaking to MailOnline, Karen Khatchik, who runs the store with her husband and sister-in-law, said: 'She bought lots of small items like craft-making, stickers, tattoos, they were things for a trip they have planned.'



But while Jolie and beau Brad could afford to buy the entire stock in the shop Karen said the mother-of-six spent no more than her other customers.





Lovely girls: The shop owner said that the girls were very chatty and animated as they looked at the items in the shop





Mrs Khatchik said: 'Angelina was so nice, she shook hands with me and she gave me a birthday card after I revealed it was our 15th anniversary.'



'The family came to the shop before and Angelina said they really liked it here and the children wanted to come back.





Thoughtful gesture: Angelina wrote a card for the shop owner Karen after she told her it was their fifteenth anniversary at the shop





Local haunt: The famous family visited The Toy Station in Richmond earlier today, their second visit to the local shop





And speaking of the two little girls Karen told MailOnline: 'They are lovely children, chatting to me and they were telling me a lot about what characters they liked and didn't like.'



The trip to the toy store comes just a day after the girls, along with their brothers Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, enjoyed a trip to watch Shrek The Musical at the Drury Lane theatre.

In you go: Angelina helped each one of her children into the van after the performance of Shrek the Musical

It was rumoured that Maddox was set to make his film debut in a Battling Boy, a film produced by his father, but a spokesperson has just denied it.

From the high life to Halfords! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take their brood to the bike store

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Family day out: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took Zahara, Pax, Maddox and Shiloh to Halfords in Isleworth, London



She might have been living the high life yesterday by flying around London in a helicopter, but today Angelina Jolie was living the simple life with her brood by taking them to Halfords.



The Tomb Raider actress, 36, also swapped her trademark black for an all-white ensemble as she and Brad Pitt took four of their six children to the bike shop in Isleworth, west London.



The Hollywood parents were spotted strolling out of the store with Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six and Shiloh, five.





Thanks for coming! The Hollywood actors shocked the Halfords' staff and local shopper with their A-list appearance





After the family perused the cycle accessory aisle this morning, they quickly jumped back into their silver people carrier.



During the family’s time in the UK, Angelina has been making numerous trips to local stores with her children, including a florist in Twickenham, a Pottery Café in Richmond and even London’s West End to watch the musical Wicked.





Come on kids! The parents loaded four of their six children back into the silver people carrier after the shopping trip





But yesterday she had a day off from her mummy-duties, by taking a quick trip out of the capital in a chopper.



She looked ecstatic as she took off and was later dropped back in Richmond, where the family are currently renting a home.





Helping hand: Doting daddy Brad Pitt helped Pax into the car safely





The Jolie-Pitts have relocated to the UK over summer while Brad, 47, shoots his latest film World War Z.



But even though Angelina hasn’t been working while Brad is on set – to care for their brood – she recently said she’s not about to give up her action roles on screen.



She said in an interview: ‘The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it.



‘I’m very responsible these days not to be self-destructive because of my kids, but at the same time I have all the more reason to do all the cool things possible because I want to try and make my kids proud.’





Special guests: You wouldn't expect to find a couple of Hollywood stars in the Halfords' car park, but the Jolie-Pitts were keen for some cycling accessories

If you want to see the end of the world, Brad, come to London! Pitt films zombie flick in sleepy Cornwall while the capital burns

By Daily Mail Reporter





Fleeing to safety: Brad Pitt films scenes for his new film showing him leaving an armed force helicopter in the aftermath of a global zombie war





Rioting, looting, muggings, cars and buildings on fire - London has witnesses apocalyptic scenes on its streets over the past three days.



Scenes which many said looked like those from a film depicting the end-of-the-world.



And scenes that no one could have predicted a few days ago, especially actor Brad Pitt.





The star has been filming his big screen adaptation of World War Z - a world recovering from a global zombie war - in sleepy Cornwall.



The devastating aftermath of the attack on the capital would have provided the perfect set for a world struggling to recover from an attack from hundreds of millions of the living dead.



Apocalyptic: While Pitt created end-of-the-world scenes in Cornwall, Londoners were faced with real-life violence, looting and burning buildings





However, we suspect that not many Londoners would have the stomach to watch the scenes again, especially not used for entertainment.



But it is incredibly ironic that he should be a filming a movie of this nature while a real life battle has been raging from Enfield to Croydon on the other side of the country.



Choppered in: Brad is seen sitting in a helicopter as it lands on the port



This way please! Brad's character and his co-stars are then lead to safety away from the helicopter





Brad has been in the Cornish port of Falmouth filming scenes for World War Z, a film based on a Max Brooks novel about a global war against zombies.



Brad plays Brooks who scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived ten years after the human victory over the world wide zombie epidemic.



Hurry! Brad is moved quickly away next to a green screen which may be used to add war-torn scenes





He arrived last week and filmed on board a former salvage vessel the SD Salmoor alongside hundreds of extras recruited from the local area playing Russian refugees or zombies.



Yesterday he was snapped on the port running from an armed forces helicopter to safety with other people.



Arctic summer: Brad Pitt had to recreate freezing conditions in a very balmy Cornwall last week for the film





The green screen behind him and the other actors suggested that destructive scenes would be added in later to give the impression of a war-torn country.



The movie is due out next year and also stars Lost's Matthew Fox.
