The Oscar-winning actress says she’d rather sit with her kids and tell them about her experiences and achievements herself rather than have it all play out on film.
“Oh God, nobody has ever asked me that question,” Jolie recently said while promoting “Unbroken” in London. “That is a horrible thought. I would hate to know how people interpret my life. That is terrifying. To reflect on your life — I would rather live through a photo book with my kids.”
Jolie also said this holiday season feels “different” now that she’s married to long-term partner Brad Pitt.
“It does feel different,” she admitted. “We have been together about 10 years and we have six children, and we are so together that it was nice to approach marriage not as something as we needed to complete, but just the extra (element) of we are so sure that we would be together until the end of our days . And to celebrate with our children.”
She went on about her famous hubby, saying they spent their honeymoon arguing on the set of the upcoming “By the Sea,” which stars both Jolie and Pitt as lovers drifting apart after a long marriage.
“We were doing hard material, a heavy drama with a lot of emotion,” Jolie said. “It was about a bad marriage. It was peculiar thing, it was our honeymoon. We joked about that, and we were there four days after we got married, doing big scenes of fighting, crying and screaming about how we hated marriage.”Jolie says overall, filming with Pitt was a “pleasure.” “It may be bias, but he is a brilliant actor. It was a pleasure working with him,” she said.
But above all, Jolie loves her humanitarian work the most. “My work on foreign policy is really the center of my work and focus of my every day,” she said. “To feel that you are accomplishing something and working towards goals, you are on the right path and making a difference.”
