Angelina Jolie, in her latest movie, plays a woman fighting to make the world a better place. She told that the inspiration for her character comes from one place – the speeches of wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill.

Discussing her role as the assassin Fox in new flick Wanted, the 33-year-old has revealed that the fake tattoos that displaying the words “toil” and “tears” – were taken from the former Prime Minister’s 1940 speech- “We have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat”.

Written in Gothic script on the back of her arms, the words were chosen once it was decide that Angelina’s character - a member of a society of assassins trying to improve the world - would wear tattoos relating to a sense of justice.

Angelina’s own body art also provided inspiration for the character. “I have ‘Strength of Will’ in one language, and we added in it four other languages on my arm,” she revealed.

It seems that the star will add to her body art collection in real life too. The proud mum-of-four already has the grid references of the places where her children were born tattooed on her upper arm. No doubt there’ll be a new line bearing the co-ordinates of Nice, France, added once she gives birth to her twins.
