ANGELINA JOLIE - ANGELINA AND COLIN'S CAIRO CHRISTMAS

The burgeoning affair between ANGELINA JOLIE and COLIN FARRELL appears to be getting serious - after they spent Christmas together in the Egyptian capital Cairo.

The handsome pair, who met earlier this year (03) while filming ALEXANDER THE GREAT in Morocco, were snapped entering a London hotel together earlier this month (12DEC03).

And over the festive period, Colin and Angelina took the actress' son MADDOX to look at the Great Pyramids in Cairo.

Despite taking separate planes to Egypt on Christmas Eve (24DEC03), they checked into the same hotel under false names, according to Britain's NEWS OF THE WORLD tabloid.

A tourist at the pyramids says, "They looked like the perfect family. They were smiling and joking and giving the child, and each other, a lot of attention. They seemed very much in love."

PHONE BOOTH star Colin is sure to shock fans with his 'family man' behaviour. The hunky lothario has said he's only interested in "casual sex" and when ex-love KIM BORDENAVE gave birth to their son JAMES, Colin promised financial support but vowed he wouldn't be settling down with her.
