Midas touch: Angelina almost bares all for her latest role

For the adult fantasy film Beowulf, Jolie plays the mother of Grendel the monster, who is the father of all evil from Anglo-Saxon mythology.

Naked truth: the actress strikes a sultry pose in a promotion shot for her new blockbuster.

Jolie stars alongside British actors Ray Winston, who plays her evil son, and Sir Anthony Hopkins who plays King Hrothgar.

With Beowulf set to hit cinemas in the UK on November 16, the actress has already started work on her next project, the action movie Wanted.

The 32-year-old, who lost a considerable amount of weight following the death of her mother earlier this year, has welcomed the return to action films.
