It's proof that being a Hollywood star isn't all glamour

Filming has started on new movie Maleficent and we've just received the first photos of Angelina Jolie in full costume getting to work in a field in deepest, darkest Buckinghamshire.

The actress plays the title role in the new Disney movie, which charts the villain's back story and explains why she became so evil.

The film crew have set up camp in a field in Buckinghamshire and yesterday Jolie appeared on set for the first time.

Surrounded by cattle and wearing a long brown cape and horns, the star tackled the first few scenes of the film and showed that being a Hollywood star isn't all glamour and red carpets.

Filming was stopped regularly so that Jolie, 37, could have her dramatic make-up retouched by the crew.

FIRST LOOK: ANGELINA JOLIE AS MALEFICENT

Earlier this week, Disney released the first image of Jolie as Maleficent complete with horns, yellow eyes and razor-sharp prosthetic cheekbones.

We've got a long wait ahead before we see Ange in action, though, as the film isn't due to be released until March 14, 2014 - we don't even want to think about how old we'll be by then!
