Angelina Jolie is very careful with what she shows her six children. When at the Gothams 34th Annual Film Awards on Monday she told Extra's Mona Kosar Abdi that her children saw her as a vulnerable woman when she filmed Maria. But it turns out that is a very rare thing, added the 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress. 'I was so happy to be with them [on Maria], and definitely they saw me terrified, which is also a thing,' she said. 'You don't usually share so much vulnerability in front of your children, even really crying in front of them or being scared in front of them, so they were very protective.' The Gia actress shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with ex Brad Pitt, whom she has battling through a nasty divorce for eight years. Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on September 20, 2016. In the past she has said when she felt pain over her Pitt split she cried only when she was alone in the shower. Angelina added in her Extra interview that playing Maria Callas allowed her to face her fears. 'I was very scared to sing and I was nervous to do things, but I also have always found it, you know, as an artist, you love things that scare you because it's a gift.' She also said, 'Ever since I was young, I think it's a real gift to be an artist. 'We're very lucky that we get to explore, within a safe place with other artists, our emotional life and our pain and what a lot of people feel alone, and they don't have the chance to kind of express it, so I've always felt very lucky.' Jolie also shared what she is most thankful for after Thanksgiving, saying, 'Health of my family.' And her kids are proud of the hard work she put into Maria. She commented, 'They did say they were proud of how hard I worked. You know, when they say, they don't talk about winning an award, they don't talk about anything, I'll hear them say, "She works so hard." 'So I think that that makes me very happy that they see that I work hard and it's just nice,' added the By The Sea director. Angelina previously revealed that she spent 'months' preparing to sing in Maria. The salt actress said at the Telluride Film Festival: 'I had seven months of opera classes, great teachers and Italian classes, and a supportive team that were going to help me.' Despite this, Angelina still felt anxious about singing when the time came to do it. She said: 'I was so nervous that morning I was out of my mind.' Angelina also revealed that she relished the experience of working with director Pablo Larrain. She said: 'I knew that as long as I gave my best, Pablo would be okay with it and somehow make it work. I knew I needed to do my best to try to help solve the puzzle, but I knew that he was a kind person and he was supportive and that helped.'

Angelina Jolie debuts new bird tattoo on her arm... 6 months after she got one on her chest

Angelina Jolie showed off a new, small bird tattoo located on her arm. The new ink was seen on Monday evening at The Gotham 34th Annual Film Awards at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The black bird was seen flying down with its wings back. She has a similar drawing on her chest, only in that one the bird is flying up. This new mark is located above the coordinates from where her six children were born - she shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox with ex Brad Pitt, whom she has battling through a nasty divorce for eight years. The fresh tat showed nicely on her arm as she wore a sleeveless black long dress with platform heels while talking to the press on the red carpet. In June the Maria actress showed off the bird mark in the middle of her chest as she made a glamorous appearance at the 77th Annual Tony Awards. Jolie has also said in the past that some of her children have the bird tattoo in different locations. As in, they don't all have the bird tattoos on their chest. 'There is also a Bird that I share with some of my children that is personal to us,' Angelina said to CR Fashion Book. The Maleficent actress, 49, first flaunted the tiny chest ink in June as she graced the red carpet alongside her teenage daughter Vivienne, 15. The pair's Broadway production, The Outsiders, garnered four major wins during the special ceremony, including Best Musical. Her latest tattoo seemingly depicted a sparrow-like bird with its wings slightly out to appear as if it was flying. Sparrows can carry a special meaning and are known to symbolize freedom, love and also loyalty. Jolie - who has been embroiled in a tumultuous divorce battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt - opted to not add any colorful details to the tattoo and instead chose a simple, black ink. A few months earlier in April during opening night of The Outsiders in the Big Apple, the actress revealed new ink located on her left forearm.
The words 'Stay Gold' could be in cursive in reference to the Broadway musical. The phrase is said by the character, Johnny, while talking to Ponyboy as a reminder to stay true to oneself. And last year in August, she initially debuted mystery ink on each of her middle fingers - which had been done by tattoo artist, MR.K. At the time, he uploaded an image of her hands but concealed the designs by blurring the tattoos. 'Still can't believe that I actually grabbed her hand and tattooed her. Guess what she got on her palm?' Social media users attempted to figure out what the ink could possibly be, with one penning, 'F***. Brad' in reference to her messy divorce battle with Pitt. However, the tattoo artist soon addressed fans by revealing in the comment section that, 'It has NOTHING related with Brad Pitt.' He also later apologized to the star for any stress caused by fan speculation. 'First of all, I feel sorry with all the bad speculations and sincerely apologize to @angelinajolie for the stress that might caused her,' Mr. K penned while finally unveiling the tattoos. He continued, 'This tattoo represents two daggers in geometric & abstract way / nothing related to religion or cross #angelinajolie #mrktattoo.' Some of Jolie's various other tattoos include a Bengal Tiger, a cross, Khmer Script and also Geographical Coordinates of her children. During a past interview with Marie Claire UK back in 2020, Angelina opened up about her array of tattoos. 'I love them. They're body art,' she gushed to the outlet at the time. 'I don't think it's abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them.' This comes after Jolie said she very careful with what she shows her six children. When at the Gothams 34th Annual Film Awards on Monday she told Extra's Mona Kosar Abdi that her children saw her as a vulnerable woman when she filmed Maria.
But it turns out that is a very rare thing, added the 49-year-old Oscar-winning actress. 'I was so happy to be with them [on Maria], and definitely they saw me terrified, which is also a thing,' she said.'You don't usually share so much vulnerability in front of your children, even really crying in front of them or being scared in front of them, so they were very protective.'

Brad Pitt is 'missing his kids' with Angelina Jolie and feels Christmas 'won't be the same' without them

Brad Pitt is 'missing his kids' over the holidays and feels Christmas 'won't be the same' if he cannot have any time with them, amid his legal battle with their mother Angelina Jolie.The former couple share three biological children - Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 - as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 19. 'Brangelina' went public as a couple in 2006 and married in 2014 before splitting in 2016, triggering a bitter feud in the courts over property and child custody. Pitt is said to be estranged from his children, a number of whom have legally dropped his surname, most recently Shiloh after she turned 18 this May. Pax was then involved in a motorcycle accident in July and Pitt was reportedly unable to even visit him in the hospital. Now, with Pitt's 61st birthday approaching on December 18 and Christmas arriving shortly thereafter, he is said to be feeling the sting of the separation especially acutely. 'Brad is missing his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them, particularly with celebrating the holidays and his birthday this month,' a source informed Page Six. He is currently two years into a romance with jewelry executive Ines De Ramon, 31, who was previously married to The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley. Pitt is said to be 'thankful he has an amazing partner,' whom the source described as 'supportive,' adding that 'Brad is looking forward to ringing in the new year with her.' In May of this year, when Shiloh filed to give up the last name Pitt, an insider had shared: 'Brad feels like Angelina has turned his kids against him.' Last month, Jolie walked the Governors Awards red carpet with Knox on her arm - in a move that a source said Pitt felt was calculated to 'push his buttons' just days after a judge ruled that their legal dispute over their French winery will go to trial. Pitt, 60, and Jolie, 49, infamously fell in love during the making of their 2005 movie Mr. And Mrs. Smith while he was still married to his first wife Jennifer Aniston.
Jolie staunchly insisted that they never engaged in an illicit affair, but only struck up their relationship once Pitt separated from Aniston. Fans around the world began siding with 'Team Jolie' or 'Team Aniston,' as a furor raged over the love triangle with Pitt at its center. Jolie filed for divorce against Pitt in September 2016, after a mysterious dispute on a private plane in the presence of their son Maddox, now 23. Early in the proceedings, the FBI looked into allegations that Brad became 'physical' with Maddox on the jet, but the investigation was closed with no charges filed. Jolie allegedly filed a Freedom Of Information Act request as 'Jane Doe' in 2021 related to the FBI documents about the fateful 2016 plane ride. She is said to have dropped her action against the FBI on September 25 this year, according to legal papers obtained by In Touch magazine. However, in court documents she filed this April in legal dispute over property, Jolie accused Pitt of having been abusive to her 'well before' the plane ride. Amid the collapse of their marriage, Pitt and Jolie plunged into a rancorous custody battle over their six children, four of whom are now adults. Pax suffered a terrifying accident in July of this year when he crashed his dirt bike into a car in Los Angeles while not wearing a helmet. Sources informed DailyMail.com that Jolie was 'by his side in hospital,' while 'Brad is distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him.' The accident came four years after Pax unleashed an explosive social media rant calling his father a 'world class a**hole' and a 'terrible and despicable person' who had caused his four younger children to 'tremble in fear.' Jolie and Pitt are also still engaged in a legal conflict over the Chateau Miraval, the winery they shared as a couple in the South Of France. The feud over the property stems from the fact Angelina sold her half to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler for $62 million in 2021, amid her divorce proceedings. Pitt sued her over the sale, insisting that she was contractually obligated to obtain his consent before offloading her portion of the Chateau Miraval. Jolie has brought up her abuse allegations and the custody battle over the course of her years-long legal feud with Brad over the Chateau Miraval. She has asked Pitt to 'end the fighting' and drop the winery lawsuit against her so that their family can have a chance to 'heal.' However sources told DailyMail.com that Pitt has 'no intention' of dropping the , claiming that Angelina only asked him to do so after she discovered that her case is weaker than she initially anticipated. 'Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,' an insider said. She is currently at the center of a swirl of dating rumors with the British rapper Akala, 41, whom she has been seen with publicly on multiple occasions.

'I had to take a deep breath and let it all out, and in between that, I also had to let out my real voice… which I also didn’t really have, because it’s where I carried my private pain, my gentleness, and a lot of things that I felt I didn’t own, that I didn’t feel safe letting out, it also involved owning something that I didn’t want to deal with,' she said.
