The actress said her co-star was the best she’s ever had.

Angelina Jolie’s exes must have felt pretty deflated when she revealed the ‘best $ex’ she has ever had was with Denzel Washington in a film.The actress, 48, has had plenty of handsome co-stars over the years, but she particularly enjoyed ‘seducing’ the Training Day star when they worked together back in 1999.

The pair joined forces 25-years ago to work on Phillip Noyce’s chilling crime thriller, The Bone Collector, and Jolie revealed that Washington managed to charm her socks off on set. Take a look at the trailer for the flick here:

Based on Jeffery Deaver’s 1997 novel of the same name, The Bone Collector is quite a whirlwind to say the least.

Jolie stars as police officer, Amelia Donaghy, who is desperately trying to track down a serial killer who leaves a disturbing calling card at each crime scene – a bone which has been extracted from each victim.

As she struggles to decipher the clues which the murderer leaves behind, she ends up calling on the talents of a quadriplegic forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme, who is played by Washington.

He was left paralysed from the neck down following a horror accident, but his mind is still working perfectly and his guidance ends up being key to Donaghy cracking the case.After spending quite a lot of time together while sifting through evidence and sharing theories, sparks begin to fly and the pair end up getting it on – but not in the way you may initially think.

Discussing the intricacies of the role, Jolie explained that the ‘romance’ element between her and Washington’s characters was based more on intimacy than physicality.But she still reckons it’s the best she’s ever had.During an interview with Dark Horizons shortly after The Bone Collector was first released, the Tomb Raider star opened up about her on-screen chemistry with Washington.

She said: “What’s fascinating are the journeys these two characters undertake, and the deep relationship that evolves between them.”Jolie said the scene where she uses both smell and intellect to seduce the forensics expert was the ‘best $ex I ever had’.

The A-lister added: “It was great seducing someone with your mind, a huge turn-on.”Although she had fun with her hunky co-star, Jolie confessed that shooting the film was a ‘really lonely’ experience which left her questioning her abilities.

The mum-of-six explained: “I went a bit nuts. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not capable of doing this, of leading a film and being responsible for this, of physically handling this, of saving a life and going in there and being a cop.”

I mean, considering the plot, it’s not exactly surprising that her psyche was a bit out of kilter.

Jolie joked that starring in The Bone Collector ‘nearly drove her insane’ because her character ‘was so insane inside’ – but I bet one look at Washington helped her calm down a treat.
