Angelina Jolie can count another Hollywood heart-throb among her biggest fans.

Besides partner Brad Pitt, co-star Johnny Depp is crowing about his work partner on The Tourist. Shooting on the new flick in Venice and Paris has been avidly watched.

Depp, who plays an Interpol agent to Jolie's American tourist, says he is impressed by her talents, Bang Showbiz reports.

'She’s a nice woman. What she does she takes very seriously. I was really impressed by her and I’m thrilled to be working with her,' said Depp.

He also spoke of his upcoming appearance with real-life belle Vanessa Paradis in My American Lover. 'It’s in preparation,' he said of the flick.

'It's called My American Lover. Vanessa plays the French feminist Simone de Beauvoir and I play her lover Nelson Algren, who is real macho,' he said.

Depp and the French Paradis have been together for about 12 years. They have two children, Lily Rose, 10, and Jack, seven.
