Brad PittBrad PittBrad Pitt is moving to the UK - so he can be close to his reported lover Angelina Jolie.

The movie hunk is looking to spend £5m on a house after Tomb Raider babe Angelina praised Britain, reports The Sun.

He has instructed estate agents to start searching posh parts of west London - a convenient half-hour drive from Angelina's £2m coverted farmhouse in posh Buckinghamshire.

She moved to the leafy outskirts of London so adopted son Maddox could receive a British education.

Angelina has enthusiastically embraced English culture; she's a fan of EastEnders, shops in the local Sainsbury's and even loves English mustard and tea bags.

And it's handy for Brad, who also wants to make and star in a British gangster movie about the infamous Millennium Dome heist.

The raid was foiled by cops in 2000 when gangsters tried to steal £350m of De Beers diamonds.

But it has fascinated Brad, who has already appeared in one Brit gangster flick, Snatch - and in similar heist movies Ocean's Eleven and Twelve.

A pal told the paper: "Brad wants this film very much and it will help him spend time with his lover."
