Well, thank you, Netflix! The online media streaming site is sending the ever bodacious Brad Pitt to our doorstep. That's right, the Hollywood hottie is headed to Abu Dhabi in T minus one month.

We've been obsessed with him and his big-hearted wife, Angelina Jolie, for years, especially since she cares so strongly for the refugees in our region, and now the talented actor is bringing his charming good looks to the UAE to shoot a film produced by Netflix.

The "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" lead will be taking on the role of a 4-star general, fighting in the Afghanistan war, reports Ahlan Live. We love a man in uniform, don't you?!

The National tell us that Brad's film "War Machine" is based on Michael Hasting's book "The Operators: The Wild And Terrifying Inside ­Story Of America’s War In Afghanistan, by the late author Michael Hastings".

As passionately in love as Brad and Angelina seem, we can only imagine that there will be a Jolie spotting or two in the city as well. Hopefully, she'll manage to spread more of her humanitarian love around while she's here as well. Here's dreaming anyway.
