WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama might be powerful and well-known, but the White House got some Hollywood star power Wednesday: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stopped by for a chat with the chief executive.

The actors were spotted in the Oval Office by photographers waiting outside for the president to take off for a trip to Chicago.

Bing: Jolie’s directorial debut

The White House confirmed Pitt and Jolie were in town to screen “In The Land of Blood and Honey,” Jolie’s movie about Bosnian war crimes, at the Holocaust museum. They dropped by so the president could talk with Jolie about her work on preventing mass atrocities and combating sexual violence against women.

Pitt was seen sporting a cane, which he’s been using following a skiing injury.

It’s not the first time Obama has met with one of the pair. In 2009, the president met with Pitt to discuss his work rebuilding New Orleans’ 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina.
