The Angelina Jolie video that mesmerized Mick Jagger (for years)

It was 1997 and Angelina Jolie was a rising stock in Hollywood. At just 22 years old, Jon Voight's daughter was starting to make a name for herself in the industry. In fact, she was only two years away from winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for 'Girl, Interrupted'.

At that time, video clips were still cult items and, thanks to channels such as MTV, they were elevated to the category of masterpieces (if they deserved it!).

Some of the most expensive video clips in history were recorded in the 90s.

That's where The Rolling Stones and their 21st album 'Bridges to Babylon' came in.

'Anybody seen my baby?' It would be the first and most successful single from the album. The music video of the song starred none other than... Angelina Jolie!

Shot on the streets of New York, it shows the actress as a club dancer with whom Mick Jagger falls in love.

The singer spends the entire video clip asking if anyone has seen his girl, while she is walking through the darkest streets of the Big Apple.

It was a simple but powerful video clip, with Angelina Jolie wearing her hair spectacularly short and a Mick Jagger for whom the role in the video appeared to become more and more realistic.

The exuberant magnetism of Angelina Jolie apparently mesmerized the leader of The Rolling Stones.

As legend has it, Mick Jagger was struck by the beauty of the young actress and, for months, he tried to get her to go out with him.

At that time, Mick Jagger was 54 years old, 32 years older than Angelina Jolie. Although she would show years later that, to her at least, age differences aren't a big problem (she married Billy Bob Thornton, 20 years her senior), nowadays Jagger's attempts at dating a 22-year-old would make many of us a little uncomfortable.

At the same time, Angelina Jolie wasn't even single. She was happily married to Jonny Lee Miller, whom she had met while filming 'Hackers'.

And Mick Jagger, for his part, was married to Jerry Hall, something that did appear to bother him very much.

Calls, gifts, surprises, unexpected appearances... Even Marcheline Bertrand, the mother of Angelina Jolie, was recruited as a matchmaker so that her daughter could go out with Mick Jagger.

Yes, Angelina's mother thought that married, fifty-something Mick Jagger was a better party for her daughter than her current husband Jonny. But Jolie consistently told Jagger and her mom: no.

To this day, one can only wonder whether this relationship would have worked anyway. Everyone knows it wouldn't have. It might have been temporary and fiery, something like her romance with Billy Bob Thornton, but it would definitely still be talked about as one of the most colorful couples in Hollywood history.
