New Delhi, Dec 3 American actor Brad Pitt has revealed that the reason he and his partner actress Angelina Jolie moved to New Orleans was because they felt "something mystical could happen" there.

The couple fell in love with the U.S. city when they visited there, and were convinced that it was the best location to raise their six children, reports the China Daily.

"Well it was big tax breaks that brought us here. I mean, that's not my department, but that's what brought us here. I'm telling you, it did something else for the film," Pitt said while at the premiere of his new movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.

"It suddenly grounded it in a way that wouldn't have worked in other places. You know, there's magic and rhythms to New Orleans, that something mystical could happen here," he added. (ANI)
