The 48-year-old has starred in countless films over the years, and has met a lot of different people along the way.
And in one particular project dating back to 1999, Jolie said she enjoyed ‘seducing’ her co-star Washington.
The acting pair worked together on Phillip Noyce’s chilling crime thriller, The Bone Collector, which is based on Jeffery Deaver’s 1997 novel of the same name.
Jolie stars as police officer, Amelia Donaghy, who is desperately trying to track down a serial killer that leaves a disturbing calling card at each crime scene –
the card you may ask? Well, that’s a bone which has been extracted from each victim.
Her character struggles to get to the bottom of the murders, so looks elsewhere for help.
That comes in the form of quadriplegic forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme, who is played by Washington.
Lincoln was left paralyzed from the neck down following a horror accident, but his mind is working perfectly and he helps Amelia try solve the case.
After spending so much time together the pair became close – but not in the way you might expect.
Speaking in an interview with Dark Horizons shortly after The Bone Collector was first released, Jolie opened up about her on-screen chemistry with Washington.
“What’s fascinating are the journeys these two characters undertake, and the deep relationship that evolves between them,” the Tomb Raider star said.
In particular, Jolie said the scene where she uses both smell and intellect to seduce the forensics expert was the ‘best sex I ever had’.
“It was great seducing someone with your mind, a huge turn-on,” she added.
While Jolie evidentially had fun working with Washington, she dubbed shooting the film as a ‘lonely’ experience overall.
“I went a bit nuts. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not capable of doing this, of leading a film and being responsible for this, of physically handling this, of saving a life and going in there and being a cop,” she admitted.
