In a new interview for Dandy magazine, Academy Award-winning actress Angelina Jolie opens up about family life with Brad Pitt and their six kids: Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 8, and 6-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
On their family-friendly wedding: “It wasn’t a wedding in grand style, but we were all very at ease, very cool. It was absolutely adorable to see how excited [our children] were by the idea, and how much they were all involved. For example, we told Knox and Shiloh they’d carry the rings without specifying they’d have a cushion to carry them. On the day, they arrived with two matched cushions on their own. I imagine they’d seen it in a movie. In short, they were so cute!”
On if her kids are allowed to get tattoos one day: “I don’t see how I’ll be able to stop them later on. They only need to look at me to know that I’ve very few arguments to dissuade them. Brad, he’s much firmer on the question: It’s ‘nyet’!”
On finding “Mr. Right”: “At 20, we’re all looking for Prince Charming, the big handsome hunk, only we’re generally disappointed because of his instability. At 40, you know what you want: a real man.”
On her shift away from acting: “It’s somewhat personal. When my mother died, I realized how much my being an actress was linked to her desire to be an actress herself, and especially what satisfaction it brought her when she saw me onscreen. Once she was gone, I didn’t feel the same attraction for it. What I really like is to be behind the camera, to put others into the light. Being in the spotlight’s shine doesn’t interest me. I prefer to have my head almost underwater … than be dainty in front of the cameras.”
