Actor Brad Pitt says having his wife, actress-filmmaker Angelina Jolie as his boss was "sexy".

The actor stars in "By The Sea" with his wife, who has also directed the movie. And Pitt loved having Jolie in charge.

"It's surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife. She's decisive, incredibly intuitive, and might I say sexy at her post. I trust her with my life," Pitt was quoted as saying by V magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Pitt also said that working on the movie together gave him and Jolie more time with their six children, Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

"At the end of the day, we get to be parents, greeting our lovely, crazy children and talking about their day, making sure they brush their teeth," he added.

Jolie and Pitt play an unhappy couple in "By The Sea" and although Jolie had admitted their marriage isn't perfect, she insisted they are nothing like their onscreen counterparts.

"Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems, we couldn't have made the film.

"This is the only film I've done that is completely based on my own crazy mind. As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones. Just being raw actors. It's not the safest idea. But life is short," she said.
