Angelina Jolie, who's in Korea on her whirlwind Salt promotional tour, says her beauty secret is being happy, adding that partner Brad Pitt "always makes me feel sexy and desirable."

'BRAD MAKES ME FEEL SEXY'

"I think you feel sexy if you live an honest and bold life," Jolie said July 28, 2010 at a photocall in Seoul, South Korea. "Maybe living life the way I've always lived it had something to do with that, but really, what makes me feel sexy is Brad. He always makes me feel sexy and desirable.

She adds: "When you're happy with what you do in your life, and you're surrounded by a lot of love and support, I think that's the best thing for beauty."

Angelina, 35, reveals there is talk of making a sequel to Salt, an espionage thriller in which she plays a CIA agent accused to being a Russian sleeper spy.

SALT SEQUEL IS LIKELY

“If the people want another one, certainly we’ll give it to them," she says. “I would love to revisit the role because we think there’s a lot more to the story. But we don’t know where we’ll go yet. We’ve talked about more exotic locations, for one.”

Jolie, who says she took the part of Evelyn Salt to get back in shape mentally and physically after giving birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in 2008, says she always wanted to be a female James Bond.  

"I read the script, and it felt aggressive and active and felt that it would be a good balance with all the very soft and maternal things in my home," she says.

FILM EXECS: ANGELINA NOT HAMPERED BY GENDER AS AN ACTION STAR

With the impressive box office Salt has scored so far (it grossed $36 million on its opening weekend), a sequel seems a sure thing. Angelina, who followed a high-carb diet and underwent stunt and fight training for the action-packed film, has won numerous acting awards, including three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild awards and an Oscar.

But she thrives on playing an action hero, and has had incredible box-office success in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise (2001 & 2003), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) and Wanted (2008).

"It's definitely unusual that a female has become an action star," producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. "But it's a funny thing. She's not a female action star; she's an action star. She's really the first female to transcend gender. I don't think it's occurred before."

Salt, which co-stars Liev Schreiber, is in theaters now.
