In a heartfelt statement, Angelina Jolie opened up about her deep devotion to her six children, stating that nothing else in her life matters as much as motherhood. The Hollywood star emphasized her commitment to her children during a recent appearance on the Good Morning America show.
Jolie’s Love for Motherhood
During the interview, Jolie shared her perspective on motherhood, saying:
“My motherhood… It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me… Nothing else matters.” Jolie, who shares her children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, has always been open about the joy and fulfillment she finds in raising her kids: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and her 16-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
Children’s Privacy and Desire to Stay Out of the Spotlight
Jolie also discussed how her children, who were thrust into the public eye due to their famous parents, prefer to stay out of the limelight.
“None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time. They are quite private. Shiloh’s extremely private. They weren’t born with privacy, right? So I hope they can have that as they grow,” she explained.
Behind the Scenes: The Kids’ Roles in the Entertainment Industry
While her children may not desire fame, they have shown interest in the creative arts in a behind-the-scenes capacity.
- Maddox and Pax have been working in the film industry, albeit off-camera.
- Vivienne recently assisted her mother with the production of the Broadway show The Outsiders.
Despite their involvement in the entertainment world, Jolie respects her children’s wish for privacy and supports their desire to maintain a low profile.
Angelina Jolie’s Role as Maria Callas in ‘Maria’
Jolie also spoke about her portrayal of opera star Maria Callas in the upcoming film Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín. The role, which has garnered attention for its complexity, is a significant step in Jolie’s career, yet she remains grounded about her achievements.
Oscar Buzz and Her Perspective on Recognition
While the actress is receiving Oscar buzz for her role in Maria, she humbly stated that winning another Academy Award would be a bonus. Jolie, who already won an Oscar for her role in the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted, described her experience in Maria as an “experience of a lifetime.”
“It means a lot that somebody thinks you did a good job. Right? That means everything to me. That kind of stuff is exciting and very, very nice,” she said. However, Jolie emphasized that the true reward lies in the opportunity to work with an “extraordinary team of people” and creating a film that resonated with audiences. “I feel like I’ve already been given the greatest gift,” she added.
