Aid working Jolie loses interest in film work
Angelina Jolie has insisted she is only carrying on as a film star to finance her aid work around the world.
The Oscar-winning star has found her forte as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and says she loves nothing more than travelling around the world with her son on her charity missions.
Jolie, aged 29, said after attending the World Economic Forum in Switzerland: “After a few months off, I’m having trouble going back to work because I’m finding that my time at home with my son and taking him around and travelling to UNHCR programmes or other parts of the world is just more fulfilling and more interesting to me and I know is more important.
“I can’t find anything that interests me enough to go back to work. I’m not excited about going to a film set. At the same time I know that by doing a film and making money and remaining in the public eye, I’m able to fund more programmes and I’m able to bring more attention.
“So I know I have to do both. But it is hard to go back to work. We need the political will, and that often comes from the will of the people."
