Angelina Jolie claims she could never have a relationship with Colin Farrell - because she thinks of him as a 'son'.

The Oscar-winning beauty, who plays Colin's mother in 'Alexander', was rumoured to have had a romance with the Irish hell-raiser.

But Angelina says that, while they get on famously, she could never date him because of the roles they played.

She revealed to Britain's OK magazine: "Colin is like my son. Colin is Alexander to me. It's very hard to find a modern actor who can be as bold, as free, as open and who women respond to and men would follow into battle. Colin actually has that quality. He's not arrogant and he's not out to get anyone."

Meanwhile, Angelina has revealed she used to walk round the set of 'Alexander' with snakes draped around her - so she could get used to let them.

She said: "They weren't dangerous. I spent a lot of days just walking around the set with snakes attached to me trying to get them comfortable and so that I could get that comfort that my character had."
