First it was Brad, now it's her children. Angelina Jolie has banned her children from seeing her latest movie, Beowulf.

The Oscar-winning beauty believes it would be inappropriate for Maddox, six, Pax, three, Zahara, two, and 17-month-old Shiloh to see their mother as a naked computer-animated temptress killer lizard in her movie Beowulf.

Angelina said: "I think it's too much. I don't think they should see their mom that way. I don't wear nightgowns like that in the house. I've got boys in my house. You don't do that as a mum."

The actress said she may consider letting them view the film when they grow up.

She added to People magazine: "When they're older, hopefully they'll see it. It's weird, I'm a mum."

Angelina recently revealed she felt "exposed" after seeing herself naked in Beowulf.

The actress was so shocked by how "real" the animation looked, she warned long-term partner Brad Pitt about the sexy nude scenes.

Angelina said: "I was really surprised that I felt exposed. There are certain moments where I actually felt shy - and called home, just to explain that the fun movie I had done that was a digital animation was, in fact, a little different than we expected.

"I didn't expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn't expect it to feel as real, so it was kind of funny at first."
