Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to get married because of her work with the United Nations, according to some media reports. Apparently the couple feared she may not survive a dangerous new mission with the UN helping to battle drug lords.

The mother of six adopted and biological children, who is a goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR refugee organisation, will be involved when the UN launches a fresh war on South American crime bosses. A report said: “Brad’s terrified something bad will happen to her. It’s why he wanted to cement things with a wedding.”

Earlier this year, Angelina wrote a farewell letter to her fiancé Brad after becoming scared for her life on a UN mission.
