JOLIE LEARNS OLD ENGLISH

Actress ANGELINA JOLIE took lessons in Old English for her role as a water demon in the film adaptation of the 12th century epic poem BEOWULF.

The screen siren reportedly enlisted a voice tutor to teach her the difficult Anglo-Saxon dialect - an early form of today's English language - in a bid to perfect her role.

A source tells British newspaper The Sunday Times, "Angelina took it very seriously, working with a voice coach and an Anglo-Saxon expert to get it right, or as close as we can to understand a thousand years later.

"It has been cleaned up a little to avoid the need for subtitles, but it's rooted in the original dialect."
