Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have joined a very small group of art fanatics who have managed to persuade Banksy to create their own commissioned piece.
Over the years, the legendary graffiti artist has only accepted a handful of specific jobs from customers. In fact, it is famously difficult to get him to agree to such a contract.

But the Hollywood couple now boast a giant mural by Banksy after Brad was able to get in touch with his agents during a trip to London.
A source told the Sun: 'He commissioned a very rare piece that centres around Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005.
'Brad has been involved in charity work there since it happened and it's obviously very close to his heart.'
The huge mural now covers an entire wall at the French estate owned by Brad and Angelina and is kept in their own private art gallery.
State-of-the-art temperature and light control features were installed at a cost of £500,000 to preserve the condition of various works in the gallery and ensure the couple can enjoy their favourite pieces for years to come.
The A-listers are said to boast an impressive collection of art but rate the Banksy depiction as their favourite.
