A pair of eight-year-old twins were trying to sell the teddy bear which had been nicknamed Big Bear on a street corner in Toluca Lake in California when Angelina Jolie surprised them and bought the bear.

After having outgrown their giant 8 1/2 foot Teddy Bear, the little boys were trying to sell it on the street corner outside their house for $50. Jolie doubled their asking price and give them $50 each, according to TMZ.

Allen and Brandon Alexander, had apparently been waiting for an hour before but found no takers until Jolie and her own daughter Shiloh made a surprise visit in a Cadillac.

The twins did not realise Jolie was a celebrity at the time but he informed them later with a reference to the film Kung Fu Panda in which Jolie plays the role of Master Tigress.
