Brad Pitt has hired a helicopter from frozen food specialists Iceland.

The Hollywood actor chartered the chopper from the supermarket chain – who use it to fly food around – because he was “sick” of the London rush hour traffic while travelling to various parts of the UK to shoot his latest movie World War Z.

A source told the Mirror: “Brad was sick of wasting time in the London rush hour traffic, so he chartered a helicopter to take him to Billericay for filming. It just so happens the one he’s using belongs to Iceland.

“It’s caused a lot of laughter on set – everyone assumed he’d fly in on Richard Branson’s.”

Brad and partner Angelina recently chartered one of the entrepreneur’s Virgin trains to take them and their children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – from London to Glasgow, which is being transformed into a makeshift Philadelphia for the zombie apocalypse movie.

The couple are currently based in Richmond, where they took their children to see The Smurfs 3D movie in the town’s Odeon cinema earlier this month, following on from recent trips to the venue to see Mr. Popper’s Penguins and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
