Legendary director Clint Eastwood believes that Angelina Jolie’s talents are overshadowed by her beauty.

Eastwood who directed Angelina in Changeling insists that her ‘gorgeous face’ doesn’t let people look at her talent.

He says,  “She is an actress hampered by her gorgeous face, I think the most beautiful face on the planet.

“People sometimes can’t see past that, to her talent. She’s on all these magazine covers so it’s easy to overlook what an amazing actress is underneath.”

“Actors know with me they aren’t going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right, so they come with their full bag of tricks. Angelina is a lot like Meryl Streep in that respect.”

Clint who directed Angelina as a wailing mother of a 9-year-old kidnapped son adds, “Angelina had studied this part a great deal before, she had read the news clippings, and she made suggestions during the process.”

Angelina will make her red carpet appearance for the movie on Saturday.
