Angelina Jolie
Headline:
The mummy returns
Synopsis:
Angelina Jolie tells Will Lawrence about her expanding family, life with Brad - and how her mother inspired the performance that could win her an Oscar.
Angelina Jolie's latest movie, Changeling, had a profound effect on her. Before she started work on it, the 33-year-old actress was already a mother of four. But, during the shoot, she decided that she wanted more children. "When I started the film, I wanted to get pregnant," she says bluntly. "I think it was the high emotion of thinking about children, which the film makes you do."
Jolie discovered that she was expecting towards the end of the shoot, which started in October 2007, and gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox the following July. "I didn't want to tell anyone the news [that I was pregnant]. During one scene, I remember someone saying, 'I think Angie should jump up and try and kick the guy.' And I was like, 'Erm, I don't think the character would do that - she's a little more timid and less physical than I am.' Secretly I was thinking, 'I just can't do it in my state!' In many ways, I was relieved to step away from this film."
