Photographer Craig McDean captures Jolie and her six children at her historic Los Angeles estate tucked away in the historic Laughlin Park quiet corner of Los Feliz and formerly owned by Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille. The home is just five minutes away from the children’s father Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie on Mothering
Confirming that while she wanted to have a brood of kids, Jolie shares that she always saw herself as the Jane Goodall type, “travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere.” She is not an inherently skilled mother — depending on one’s criteria, of course.
I feel like we’re such a team. It may sound clichéd, but you love and you try, and even if you burn the eggs, that doesn’t matter in the end. But also, you’ve met our kids. They’re pretty capable.
Edward Enninful zooms in for Jolie’s ‘This Woman’s Work’ photoshoot, which took place in November 2020, the day Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were elected as America’s new president and vice president. Enninful’s interview came a few weeks later.
Jolie’s six children –- Maddox, 19, Pax, then 16, Zahara, then 15, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox — were out, and about. Enninful’s ease in handling Jolie — and his personable lack of ego in the interview itself — are noteworthy.
Jolie’s New Book for Young People About Their Rights
Her kids — and global youth generally — are a source of great inspiration to the activist and humanitarian, so much so that Jolie has written her first book for them. Along with their collective energy to change the world, is an onslaught of misinformation and fake news often mounted by groups and individuals committed to the status quo or — worse still — authoritarian and undemocratic principles.
This reality motivated Jolie to team up with Amnesty International in writing “Know Your Rights (And Claim Them’. The title, aimed at kids and teenagers up to age 18, will be published by Anderson Press in September 2021. Geraldine Van Bueren, who previously work on the 1989 UN convention ‘On The Rights Of The Child’, is working with the actor on this important project.
Jolie Directing ‘Unreasonable Behaviour’ Don McCullin Biopic
The life of celebrated British war photographer Don McCullin is the focus of Angelina Jolie’s new film. Titled ‘Unreasonable Behaviour’, after McCullin’s acclaimed autobiography, Enninful calls McCullin one of his “favourite photojournalists.”
Screenwriter Gregory Burk has adapted the book into a screenplay, while Hardy Son & Baker, which is run by actor Tom Hardy and Dean Baker, will produce the film with McCullin acting as an executive producer.
McCullin saw Jolie’s directing work in ‘First They Killed My Father’, a 2017 Cambodian–American thriller based on the memoir by Loung Ung of the same name. The film tracked Ung’s experience as a child soldier during Cambodia’s repressive Khmer Rouge regime.
“Having viewed Angelina’s last film on Cambodia (and having spent so much time during the war there) I was very impressed at how she made such a powerful and accurate representation of the place at that time,” McCullin told ‘The Hollywood Reporter’. “I feel as if I am in safe, capable and professional hands with her.”
Jolie and Guerlain Team Up for Bees
A longtime lover of Guerlain products, Angelina Jolie touches on her Guerlain-financed work to develop women as beekeepers.
The partnership between Guerlain and UNESCO launched in early 2020, with the training of beekeepers with more than 50 hives based in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Cambodia and China. The five-year project has a goal of training 88 beekeepers from 44 biospheres maintaining 4.400 beehives, after which the partnership can be renewed.
Guerlain is a LVMH company with a bee as the symbol of the luxury beauty brand’s Abeille Royale collection. In 2019 Guerlain held its third edition of Bee University at UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
