Mélanie Laurent, Pitt's French co-star in the war flick Inglourious Basterds.
Being on the red carpet at the film's premiere with the couple was "completely crazy," concedes the slightly standoffish actress. "But you don't feel like, 'Oh my God.' Everybody is crazy, hysterical, but it's not real. You just have fun. They are so cool. They always say to me, 'Hi, you look great.' "
Melanie's also doing pretty great. In Basterds, Laurent, 26, plays one of the film's pivotal roles. She's the young Jewish girl Shosanna, who witnesses the massacre of her family by Nazis and flees to Paris, where Laurent runs a cinema and develops her own revenge plan.
"I'm very close to her," Laurent says of her character. "You need to be strong to do that job, to have an actor's life. And you need to be fragile. I'm a little bit French and rebel sometimes, a little bit like Shosanna, and I'm Jewish."
