Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has hailed her husband Brad Pitt as "a great man".

The actress admits her life with Brad helped influence her recent work on Unbroken - her latest directorial effort about the real-life tale of Olympian Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner during World War II by Japanese forces.

Speaking in Sydney today at a press conference for the film, she explained: "['Unbroken'] is an epic about the human spirit, so I think certainly in knowing, less about the technical aspect of shooting a war film, but more what I know of him [Brad] as a man and living with this great man and seeing the choices he makes with our family, our children, the way he treats me and the values he holds and learning from my sons.

"These are things I think I brought to the film that I understand about men and what I love about men, and what I think I'd want our generation to be reminded of.

"The great men who came before them and the greatness in them now and how to rise up to it."

Whilst shooting in Australia, Angelina admits she adopted a number of local expressions, and she especially enjoys "No worries".

"'No worries' is a great thing to hear from your crew,

"When you're in the middle of 200 extras and there's a lot to do sinking planes in the water in a very very stressful shoot and you say, 'Can we do this?' and they say, 'No worries'. "
