Hollywood star Angelina Jolie-Pitt made a lot of revelation about being a mother, an actress and how Cambodia changed her perspective in life during an exclusive interview on Feb. 18.
The Associated Press sat down with Jolie-Pitt and found out a lot about the actress' thoughts on parenting and how she balances her work-life schedule with her kids. She also shared about how a country like Cambodia has opened up her mind to the real world.
This interview was also cited by Access Hollywood noting that it has been 16 years since the actress visited Cambodia to work on the film, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." And ever since that year, her life was never the same. Later on, she decided to adopt her first child who we all know now as Maddox.
"When I first came to Cambodia, it changed me. It changed my perspective. I realized there was so much about history that I had not been taught in school, and so much about life that I needed to understand, and I was very humbled by it," Jolie-Pitt told the AP. She also opened up saying that despite growing up in a well-developed city like Los Angeles, it is a place where she felt "real emptiness."
Page Six also captured the 40-year-old actress' thoughts of not even wanting a child during her interview. "It's strange, I never wanted to have a baby. I never wanted to be pregnant. I never babysat. I never thought of myself as a mother," she said.
The epiphany of her becoming a mom suddenly came when she returned to Cambodia for one of her humanitarian works with the United Nation. She was playing with some kids that time in a school in Cambodia when she felt that her son is somewhere in that country. Now, she is a mother of six and it is one of the best decisions she has ever made in her life.
