Angelina Jolie was the leading lady in all respects for upcoming drama By the Sea, as she both starred alongside and directed husband Brad Pitt.
However, the 51-year-old actor shared with V Magazine that he found the experience to be 'sexy,' and loved having Angelina, 40, in charge.
'It's surprising how much I enjoy the direction of my wife. She's decisive, incredibly intuitive, and might I say sexy at her post. I trust her with my life,' he gushed.

Happy couple: The duo tied the knot in the south of France in August 2014, and headed right into filming for By the Sea afterwards, joking it was their honeymoon (pictured at the AFI Awards in Los Angeles in January)
'It was probably not the wisest way to spend a honeymoon,' he admitted in the Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot spread, of filming By the Sea, a story of a disintegrating marriage, after tying the knot with Angelina in August 2014.
'But then again, fighting to make something together... what better metaphor for marriage?' Brad added of the film - starring, directed and written by wife Angelina.
Brad also said that working on the movie together gave him and Angelina more time with their six children, Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Family man: Brad gushed that one of the benefits of working on the movie together was that they could spend more time with their children, Maddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne
He explained: 'At the end of the day, we get to be parents, greeting our lovely, crazy children and talking about their day, making sure they brush their teeth.'
Angelina and Brad play an unhappy couple in By The Sea, and although Angelina recently admitted their marriage isn't perfect, she insisted they are nothing like their on-screen counterparts.
'Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems, we couldn't have made the film,' she explained to Vogue.
Dramatic: Brad posed for a series of gorgeous, black and white photographs shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for the winter issue of V Magazine
'This is the only film I've done that is completely based on my own crazy mind,' Angelina revealed, of the project.
'As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones. Just being raw actors. It's not the safest idea. But life is short.'
Angelina is next signed on to star in action flick Salt 2 as well as Maleficent 2, and voices a character for the upcoming Kung Fu Panda 3.
Inspiration: Brad channeled 1970s Robert Redford in the shoot (L, Robert pictured in 1975's Three Days of the Condor)
Standing together: The Fury star's wife assured fans By the Sea was not autobiographical, adding: 'Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems, we couldn't have made the film'
The mother-of-six is also directing a biography about author and human rights activist Loung Ung, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.
Meanwhile, Brad has five films due out in the next couple of years, including upcoming drama The Big Short, which also stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, and Ryan Gosling.
