She has found a new purpose through her humanitarian work.
And now, Angelina Jolie has revealed, she is ‘open’ to making that passion into a career in politics.
But Angelina, who stars on Vanity Fair’s December cover, told the magazine she believes her Hollywood career may hinder the possibility of seeking an elected or appointed office.
‘When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered. Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility,’ the Maleficent star said.
‘But I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful— I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that [could] make it less possible.’
Besides her wildly successful acting career, Angelina is known for her extensive humanitarian efforts and as a prominent United Nations Goodwill Ambassador.
After being pressed further if she’d pursue a life in politics, the mother of six relented by saying, ‘I am open.’
Angelina also opened up about her relationship with Brad Pitt, with whom she finally tied the knot in a surprise wedding in August.
And she revealed being married ‘does feel different’, admitting ‘it feels nice to be husband and wife’.
The A-list star wed her longtime partner in a surprise ceremony at their French estate on August 23 and had their brood of children write the wedding vows.
‘They did not expect us never to fight, but they made us promise to always say, “Sorry,” if we do. So they said, “Do you?,” and we said, “We do!,”‘ the Oscar winning actress recounted.
The busy actress has recently been exercising her talents behind the camera with her upcoming directorial feature Unbroken, about Olympic runner turned World War II hero Louis Zamperini.
And she’s now prepping to do double duty directing and starring opposite her husband in By The Sea.
This will be the newly married couple’s first collaboration since the 2005 film that brought them together, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
And while she’s excited about the upcoming romantic drama, Angelina also know it comes with the potential for much scrutiny.
‘A few friends asked if we were crazy… [A film about] a married couple going through some difficulties… and I’m directing him.’
