Charlize Theron, Sean Penn find new 'besties' in Brangelina

Johannesburg: South-African actress Charlize Theron and beau Sean Penn have claimed to be close friends with star couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The Oscar winners have been tight for years, but ever since Penn and the 'Monster' star became serious, they've been spending a lot of time together with the pair as a 'foursome,' News24.com reported.

The 39-year-old actress, who's mom to a three-year-old adopted son Jackson, claims that she respects Jolie, also 39, for raising six children, and that they have a very similar outlook on life.

The duo is even hoping to work together on 'Captain Marvel,' the comic giant's upcoming first female-led superhero film.
