It’s no secret that Angelina Jolie is a super mom. The 45-year-old actress’ kids inspire her both on and off the screen and she recently opened up about her very special relationship with them.
The mom-of-six has definitely spent a lot of quality time with her sons and daughter since they all lived under the same roof following Jolie’s divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jolie revealed that her daughter Shiloh influenced her latest role in the Disney animated film “The One and Only Ivan”.
Jolie shared that it was 14-year-old Shiloh who got her interested and involved with the story line in the first place after Shiloh told Jolie about the book she was reading, which was “The One and Only Ivan” novel by Katherine Applegate.
"I read it on my own and then we looked at some of it together and we talked about why she loved it," Jolie explained to ET. "Then, I inquired if it was being made -- as you do -- into a film, and I found out that it was kinda in the works but kinda hadn't [been] figured out."
In a twist of fate, Jolie took on the role of producer and was also casted as the voice of an elephant named Stella in the Disney movie adaptation of the book. “The One and Only Ivan” was widely released to audiences on Disney+ just last week on August 21.
Offscreen, Jolie spends time at home with her six kids. Jolie was recently reunited with her oldest son Maddox after his South Korean college campus was on lockdown due to the coronavirus.
In an interview with Extra, Jolie said 19-year-old Maddox is now studying online at home in the company of the rest of his siblings-- Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11.
“They’re all together and it’s a nice big bunch, so everybody’s helping each other out. We’re lucky,” Jolie shared with Extra. How sweet is that?!
