As you’ve probably heard, Angelina Jolie plays a CIA agent accused of being a Russian spy in the new movie thriller Salt.

KYW’s Bob Nelson reports that she also performs many of her own stunts in the film.

Jolie says she’s been performing her own stunts for some time, thanks to her own specially trained stunt team:

“I’ve worked with the same stunt team for the last ten years and they’ve become my family.  So I think they get more nervous when I’m climbing out the window to climb on the ledge.  They’re really the first ones to go, ‘Whoa whoa whoa whoa, wait wait wait wait wait!’ “

Salt opened last weekend with a solid #2 finish at the box office, grossing $36 million (see related story).
