“I’m looking forward to my fifties: I feel like I’m about to step into my fifties. Even though we were in trampoline the other day, and the kids said, ‘No, Mom, don’t do it. You’ll get hurt.’ And I thought, “God, isn’t that funny?”

“There was a day when I was an action star, and now the kids tell me to get out of the trampoline because I’m going to get hurt.”
Angelina insists she doesn’t see herself as “a traditional mother at home,” as “she was never very good at sitting still,” but she does credit her six children for “helping” her maternity trip.
Juggling her career to take care of her children, the Tomb Raider icon told the post, “Well, I was never very good sitting still.
‘Even though I wanted to have a lot of kids and be a mother, I always imagined myself as Jane Goodall, traveling in the middle of the jungle somewhere. I did not imagine it in this true and traditional sense.
‘I feel like I don’t have all the skills needed to be a traditional mom at home. I’m managing it because the children are quite resilient and help me, but I’m not worth anything. ”
“It doesn’t do me any good”: the 45-year-old actress admitted that she doesn’t consider herself a “traditional mother at home” while playing her “hard” years and approaching her fifties
Angelina filed the acquittal of her marriage to Brad in 2016, and said in a June 2020 interview with Vogue India that it was for the “welfare of my family,” adding that it was the right decision. “.
At the time, it was reported that Pitt had entered into a violent party shouting alcohol with Jolie, prompting 19-year-old eldest son Maddox to defend his mother.
Jolie was granted temporary custody of the six children and Brad was granted visitation rights with a court-appointed therapist.
In 2018, a court ruled in Brad’s favor after alleging that Angelina was preventing the children from having a consistent relationship with him. She was assigned a temporary summer custody that allowed her to spend time with the children without Jolie’s presence.

The custody trial was scheduled to begin in November 2018, but the two reached an agreement, with ET reporting that it was in the best interests of the children and eliminating the need for a trial.
Pitt was granted less than 50 percent custody of the children despite wanting the same joint custody, prompting him to continue fighting for what he considered appropriate in another trial.

The couple ruled “legally single” in April 2020, but the state did not end the divorce or the battle for custody.
Brad continues to seek joint custody with a trial that was scheduled for October, as he compiled a list of more than 20 witnesses to bolster his case.
The couple had already decided that Maddox was not a custodial consideration and could decide when she wanted to see Brad as he was no longer a minor.
Many details of the trial have been retained, although it was intended to await a decision at its next trial, which was scheduled for December 21st.
In his latest interview with Vogue, the Unbroken star also talked about his role as special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Angelina shared: “I started at the age of twenty, putting on my boots and backpack and going out to try to understand what the hell was going on in the world.
“I tried to give myself a broader education than I had had in school. I grew up in a very empty place, in many ways, so I had to go find a broader understanding.”
The activist went on to admit that he believes the perception of refugees has “worsened” over time, explaining, “We talk like refugees are a burden. But they have had to adapt. They have a set of different skills, a different look in the eyes.
They have confronted their own humanity in such a profound way. They have resisted oppression. We should honor his struggle. It honors people who have fled the bombs and protected their children.

Stressing the importance of teaching global citizenship to his children, he added: “They are from all over the world. When I see Mad in Cambodia, it is their home.
“He is a man from Cambodia and, at the same time, he is also an American citizen and a world citizen. But it is not only important that he goes there, but also that his brothers go there.
