Angelina Jolie has been taking “manners classes”.
The brunette beauty – who raises six children with her partner Brad
Pitt – felt she needed to refine some of her behaviour in preparation
for her role as sophisticated British woman Elise Ward opposite Johnny
Depp in ‘The Tourist’.
She said: "I'm not completely clumsy or gross, but the character takes
her time with everything. I'm an American! I do 10 things before
breakfast."
Angelina also spoke of her hopes for the futures of her children -
Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old
Knox and Vivienne – and how she wants them to look back on their
childhoods.
Speaking on ‘The Today Show’, she said: "Hopefully they are happy, and
they know that they were loved, and that they were encouraged to be who
they are, and not pushed into something that they're not.
"Hopefully they'll be the strong, beautiful individuals that they are
today, and be happy in their lives, be fulfilled in their lives, and be
living their lives honestly.”
The 35-year-old beauty admitted she can’t understand why so many people
are fascinated by her but is hopeful interest in her will fade as she
gets older.
She said: "I don't find myself that interesting in that way. But I feel
like it happens to everybody. It's just that it's a weird time right
now. There's just so much of all of that, for everybody. It's just,
it's a new world.
“I just assume the older I get, the more it'll go away. The more private I'll become."
