Brad put on a brave face as he stepped out for the glitzy screening in Los Angeles with his glamorous co-star.

During the event, he spoke out about the divorce drama for the first time, and praised fans for their kindness.

He told : "It's really sweet, everyone has been really kind out here. It's really nice to have all the support."

Brad and Marion were rumoured to have become close during the making of the World War II movie, and they put on a united front on the red carpet last night.

The stress of the divorce appeared to be taking a toll on Brad as he looked thin and tired.

However, he managed to smile for the cameras and pose for pictures with fans.

Brad's red carpet comeback came as it was confirmed the LA County Department of Children And Family Service closed an investigation into the 52-year-old actor following an alleged bust-up with his adopted son Maddox, 15, reports

The spat on a private plane reportedly prompted Angelina to filed for divorce from the actor, citing irreconcilable differences.

After the news emerged last night, Angelina issues a statement through her representative.

It stated: "Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal."

The split was confirmed in September, and the former couple has since been at odds over the custody of their six children.

The kids have remained with the mother since the marriage broke down, but Brad has filed a court motion asking for joint custody.

They have agreed to keep in place a post-split arrangement which allows Angelina to continue caring for the kids until a permanent solution is agreed.

Brad will continue to have regular visits with the children.

As well as Maddox, the stars are also parents to Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10 and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
