August Diehl plays Angelina’s husband

The best American action heroes like Jason Bourne and now Evelyn Salt, have doting German spouses. Matt Damon had Franka Potente and now Angelina Jolie got one of Germany’s most talented actors August Diehl to love her so much that she more or less gets “reprogrammed by love”.

But how did the terrific actor get the part in an international blockbuster, without having a major US agent placing him there? It can’t really be because Angelina Jolie herself (born as Voight from the German Name Vogt wanted to go back to her roots), right? Well it certainly does not hurt to have the star’s husband in your corner.
NBC Local Media’s PopCornBix reported that none other than Brad Pitt helped with the casting, he said what a strong actor August Diehl was. And that they were looking for someone with no baggage, a fresh face – to keep the audience off guard. August Diehl starred alongside Pitt in Quentin Tarantino’s hit movie ‘Inglourious Basterds’.
Speaking about the German actor’s appearance in that film, Brad Pitt elaborates: “Yes, he was quite ruthless in Basterds. But if you’re wearing a swastika emblem that gave you a lot of power… He’s just a great actor.”
