Angelina Jolie did an interview for Entertainment Weekly that provides some insight into the wonderfully wacky world of the Jolie Pitt camp. The six page conversation with Jolie covers a wide range of topics, including her pregnancy, her relationship with an ex husband and the group dynamic of so many children.
In one of the photographs taken for the EW story, Angelina is wearing a necklace that Brad Pitt had made for Mother’s Day. The tiny machine gun was crafted from a drawing 6 year old Maddox created. The couple say that he is all about guns and war and they were both taken with how well he captured his subject matter. Some might try to steer a kid away from these concepts but Angie is a free thinker, who claims to be fascinated by blood, tattoos and knives.
Jolie says that Brad’s parents are planning to come to France to help with the children when the new babies arrive. They are reportedly poised and ready to come at a moments notice. Angelina admits that she and Brad were really taken aback when they found out she was expecting twins but quickly recovered. The biggest drawback at the moment is not being able to bend down to pick up the kids. She has always enjoyed toting them around and now has to rely on Brad to lift the kids into her arms, though he doctor has advised against it.
Jolie shared the Jolie-Pitt weekly ritual of ‘family sleep’. One night a week they all climb into one big bed and watch movies and sleep together. That may work for now but with two more on the way it could prove challenging. Angelina says they try to give each child his or her own time each day. Shiloh gets up earlier than the other kids so that is her time. Maddox gets the last half hour of the day because he has the latest kid bedtime. Pax and Zahara are squeezed in during the day.
Angelina discusses her upcoming movie Wanted which has her cast in the role of an assassin. The film release is slated for June 27. She will obviously not be able to do any promoting. Perhaps the timing was intended to coincide with the birth of her children, which will probably work just as well at revving up interest in the project. The Changling received critical acclaim at Cannes Film Festival and will release in late October. By then Jolie should be able to actively participate in premiere activities.
The next big role for Angelina will be the birth of her twins. The blessed event is expected to send shock waves around the globe. If only we knew when.
