London, Apr 1 (IANS): A former bodyguard of Angelina Jolie has labelled the actress a "self-centered control freak".

"Angelina has a public and a private persona. In my opinion, the real Angelina is self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn't do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she's totally psycho... she screams and yells a lot, then walks away," contactmusic.com quoted Jolie's bodyguard Bill as saying.

Bill also alleged Jolie, who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt, would take her anger out on her partner and their kids, the number of which was unknown when Bill was working for them.

"She would disappear into her suite for hours leaving the staff and Brad to deal with the children. She would punish them with silence. I think she could be abusive at times in a mental way," he added.

Angelina doesn't really trust Pitt and always needs to find out what he's been up to.

"She'll call him from the set to interrogate him. His face goes white and he just stares at his feet. When Angelina's yelling becomes unbearable, Brad will put her on speaker and walk away from the phone. Angelina will hang up and continue calling until one of the staff picks up," the bodyguard added.
