Angelina Jolie almost turned down her role in her latest movie Changeling - because the plot involved a child kidnapping plot.

The devoted mother-of-six plays a desperate mum whose nine-year-old son is snatched in the real-life story.

But Jolie admits she was set to snub the harrowing role, until partner Brad Pitt made her have a change of heart.

She explains, "It was very hard for me. I read the script and I couldn't put it down, but I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to touch something that had to do with children being kidnapped. It scared me because anything happening to my kids is my biggest fear."
