Brad Pitt has been told off by his director after making shooting noises when "firing" guns on set.

Pitt was playing an assassin in the upcoming film "Mr and Mrs Smith", which also stars Angelina Jolie, when he created his own sound effects.

Teenhollywood reports that Greg Ellis - who gets shot by Pitt in the film - revealed: "The first time Brad fired his guns at me, the director told him to stop the sound effects - when he pulls the trigger he's like a little boy with a toy.

"He makes gun noises to go with the shots."

Pitt is not the first actor to fill in for the sound-man.

Ewan McGregor was similarly told off when filming "The Phantom Menace" - microphones were picking up the "lightsabre" noises he was making.
