They may be sworn enemies in Disney’s Maleficent but, when the cameras aren’t rolling, it seems Angelina Jolie and her co-star Elle Fanning are more like mother and daughter than foes.
Last night, the 20-year-old actress posted a behind-the-scenes snap of her playing around with the actress/director on the set of their latest film, Maleficent 2.
‘It's bring your mum to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!!’ The Beguiled actress captioned the selfie, which features Angelina in her character's horns and red lipstick.

In the snap, Angelina can be seen rocking the ‘peace’ sign with her fingers behind her colleague's head, much to Fanning's delight.
In another photo, Jolie stands behind her co-stars head. 'Ultimate photobomb,' the Miu Miu model captioned the hilarious picture.
The pair are currently filming the live-action adaptation sequel in London, reprising their roles as Maleficent and Princess Aurora, respectively.
Maleficent 2, which is yet to be given a release date, marks the Oscar winner's first role in three years following her 2015 project By The Sea with her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
In September 2017, Jolie stepped behind the camera as director of biographical historical thriller First They Killed My Father, and joked in an interview with Deadline that divorce had catapulted her back into acting.
‘I am now the breadwinner for the family, so it's time,’ she revealed.
At the time, she also told The Hollywood Reporter that she took 'over a year off' because of her 'family situation'.
'When they can have—when I feel it's time for me to go back to work, I'll be able to go back to work,' she told the publication. 'I've been needed at home. I hope [to work again] in the months to come.'
Fanning and Jolie are joined by Michelle Pfeiffer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, Lesley Manville, and Harris Dickinson for Maleficent 2.
