Angelina Jolie plans 'Fade Away' from Hollywood
15/11/2008 11:54
With six kids to watch over, "Changeling" star Angelina Jolie told the BBC
she plans to fade away from acting to spend more time raising her family, but
she stopped short of pledging to quit her craft for good.
"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," Jolie told the British broadcaster in an
interview posted on the BBC Web site on Thursday.
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.
In response to a
question about whether she will give herself a "cutoff point" for acting, Jolie,
33, 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.
Sean
Penn, 48, has also talked about retiring from acting over the years, but his
career continues and he stars in the movie "Milk," which opens on December
5.
