The actor travelled to Scotland many years ago, before his relationship with Angelina Jolie. He loved the country and enjoyed touring different cities, but it was Glasgow which really captured his heart.

While there, Brad became romantically involved with a girl. Unbeknown to him she had previously dated a member of notorious gang in the city, making Brad a target of his wrath. "When I was in Glasgow I got involved with this girl. She happened to be the ex-girlfriend of a bit of a bad guy," Brad explained. "I ended up having to get out of town because I was getting `that` look from a guy behind a bar. I think there is something about rival gangs in the city and I was about to find I was involved. I had to get out of there. It was heavy."

Brad also spent time at Loch Ness, where a huge monster is rumoured to live. Although he enjoyed the rugged countryside, it was Scotland`s cities which impressed him the most. Brad is interested in architecture, and was impressed with what Edinburgh and Glasgow had to offer.

"I went everywhere, saw it all. Edinburgh and Glasgow were special - the architecture is something there," he told British newspaper The Sun. "You talk about sub culture and high culture - you`ve got it all there."

Brad attended the premiere of new movie Kick-A*s in London earlier this week, as he helped produce it. The film is about a young boy who wants to be a superhero, but doesn`t have a special power.

The 45-year-old loves the concept of the movie, admitting he often wishes he could don a Lycra outfit and fly around doing good deeds too. "I love Lycra. I`m actually wearing it now. Underneath my clothes, though, of course," he joked. "I`d love to be a Lycra-wearing superhero. Kick-A*s is an absolute monster of a movie. I loved every minute."
