With six kids to watch over, Angelina Jolie unveiled to media that she
plans to fade away from acting to spend more time raising her family.
"I don't plan to keep acting very long, I'm ready to do a few things now and
fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day," the Hoolywood movie star told
the British broadcaster in an interview posted on the BBC website yesterday.
Jolie and her partner actor Brad Pitt have emerged as a Hollywood power
couple, and together they have three biological children and three adopted
children.
She says her new film helped her get pregnant.
She said: "I got pregnant right in the middle of shooting and I think
partially because of the film. I was so emotional about children that I think
something in me kicked into gear."
Angelina also admitted she considers her ever-expanding brood in everything
she does, adding: "The centre of my life is my kids."
The 33-year-old actress - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt -
believes she wouldn't have conceived twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline if
she hadn't starred in new movie 'Changeling', in which she plays a mother whose
son goes missing.
In response to a question about whether she will give herself a "cutoff
point" for acting, Jolie said she would make no pledge to completely stop
acting.
Jolie, who stars in the movie "Changeling" from director Clint Eastwood, said
she has not worked on a movie for a year. Apart from starting a project in
February, she said that she will probably not work again for another year.
"So maybe it will be once a year and then maybe it will be once every three
years, and then just naturally -- I like being home a lot these days," Jolie
told the BBC.
Jolie, who earned an Oscar for her supporting role in the 1999 movie "Girl,
Interrupted," would not be the first actor to talk of walking away from it all
at a young age. Last month, "We Own the Night" star Joaquin Phoenix, 34, said
that he was retiring from acting to focus on making music.
