Deception isn't the way to get a guy for a date, according to Angelina Jolie ? nor the way to keep him.

Unsexy as it sounds, it's best to be yourself, she insists ? and she knows a thing or two about bagging a hot guy, with gently weathered swoonster Brad Pitt on her arm.

The secret of enduring romance is, Angelina told OK! Magazine, "to be able to be who you are in every moment".

"That is the only way that you'll ever be truly happy," the stunning actress declared.

After a stormy time with grizzly older man Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie struck gold with Brad when the two met on the set of the effortlessly sexy Mr and Mrs Smith.

But from the time they started out dating, honesty was at the core of what they have together.

"I don't want to have to spend my life having to pretend to be someone else, and I don't want the person next to me to have to pretend," Angelina reasoned, adding, "because we have a long life ahead of us".

It sure looks that way, Brangelina.
