Liz Gillies is just as bored as the rest of us. The 26-year-old actress and lead of the CW’s “Dynasty” must have been in an Angelina Jolie state of mind, because she posted a video of herself on Instagram Thursday impersonating the Oscar-winning actress.“I’m in shock, and I’m so in love with my brother right now,” Gillies began the video, echoing Jolie’s infamous 2000 acceptance speech for best supporting actress in “Girl, Interrupted.”The speech and subsequent kiss Jolie shared with her brother James Haven at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party would go on to be discussed as a pivotal moment in pop culture for the next two decades. At the time, it made thousands of headlines around the world and left lots of people uncomfortable, Bustle reported.Gillies not only mimicked Jolie’s mannerisms in the impersonation but also created a replica of the dress, hair, and makeup she wore to the Oscars. Gillies said her random desire to recreate this moment in history was born out of her boredom while in quarantine.“In quarantine, you can be whoever you want to be!” she wrote. “Today, I wanted to be Angelina Jolie accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress at the 2000 Oscars.” The “Dynasty” star’s impersonation caught the attention of a few of her CW castmates who commented on the post. Rafael de la Fuente, who plays Sammy Jo on the show, replied, “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW,” while Maddison Brown (Kirby Anders) joked, “I’m concerned.”Even a few of Gillies’s former Nickelodeon “Victorious” co-stars from her teenage years enjoyed the video.“I met you once,” joked Daniella Monet, who played Trina Vega on “Victorious.” She continued, “It was at a Barnes n noble in Calabasas. We were in the magazine aisle and you had your daughter Zahara with you. I said she was ‘sooo cute’, you acknowledged me. It was cool. Remember? Anyways, that was me. Hope you and your brother are well.” Victoria Justice, the former lead of "Victorious," replied, “Hahaha this is fantastic” followed by a laughing emoji.In the video, Gillies acts as though the Oscar trophy is heavy by carrying it strangely in her arms. She confirmed via Instagram story later that “the Oscar from Amazon isn’t heavy I was just faking.”

The mother of six said Maddox will be returning to Yonsei University in Seoul once the pandemic has passed and the school reopens.Maddox is a freshman at the school, where he is studying biotechnology. 'I could not be happier about Mad's choice of university. It is of course closed at the moment because of the pandemic..' Angelina said to the DongA Daily, which is the leading media outlet in South Korea.She continued: 'But he's not transferring school, he'll be going back as soon as things settle. He's using the time to focus on his Korean and Russian studies.'Angelina said she admires the way South Korea became 'such a successful modern economy while also preserving the culture and values that have made it unique for centuries.' 'Nearly a billion young people globally are out of education, because of school and university shutdowns,' which she says half of all students worldwide. Angelina said in some countries, if a person's education is interrupted in this way - with a global crisis, they may not ever be able to return due to having to work or other pressures.Other kids depend on going to school to get their one meal a day that helps them survive against extreme poverty, as well as people who may be more vulnerable to domestic violence or abuse, she explained.Angelina said: 'There's an urgent need to help young people to continue their education, through distance learning for example, to ensure they are able to get their qualifications and that they get the other kinds of support they need.'Angelina shares her six kids with ex husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13 and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.The star told the outlet: 'We are all so happy as a family that we will have the opportunity to get to know South Korea even better through Maddox, and with him, during his studies.'Angelina highlighted the importance of education during the Covid-19 health crisis, as well people who live in refugee camps or those who do not have access to water.Angelina said: 'The immediate focus is of course the coronavirus and impact it could have on the world's displaced people who are so vulnerable.'She explained: 'Many, for example, live in refugee camps where they don't have the option of self-isolating. Or where they might not even have access to water to wash their hands regularly.'The Maleficient star said that the most important thing to understand amid this crisis is that even before coronavirus, 'the situation for refugees globally was dire, with chronic shortfalls in basic humanitarian assistance,' with lack of basic healthcare as an example. Angelina spoke about following through after bringing awareness to an issue, something she said is key.Explaining: 'I think the problem we face is not a lack of awareness. It is holding those in positions of authority and leadership to account. Requiring them to live up to promises that have been made.'
The Tomb Raider star said her advice after getting everyone's attention on a particular issue: 'Immerse yourself in the issue you are concerned about, and become as knowledgeable as you possibly can about the facts, the laws and the change that is needed.'When asked about a possible transition from acting to politics which she seemingly implied during her BBC interview, she said that 'many of the problems we are dealing with are so vast that the idea that governments along can solve them is no longer true, if it ever was.' She said that 'we are all part of the solutions that are needed,' as seen in the coronavirus pandemic.'Yes, there are things that only governments can do, but only if they work together with scientists, doctors, nurses, epidemiologists and regular citizens.' The screen star is executive producing project BBC My World, which is a program about helping youths spot fake news. Angelina said of the project: 'We've never had access to so much information, but we all also need to question where that information comes from, if we can trust it, or whether someone is trying to manipulate us in some way.' When asked about Harvey Weinstein, she said: 'I respect the women who took part in the trial and bravely put evidence forward. Sadly, the issue is bigger than this one case.'Adding: 'In my experience, there is much more that people choose to accept, or don't feel the need to change.' Angelina, on her definition of true beauty, she said that it is 'someone being their true self, whatever that might be, and not feeling that they have to hide their spirit or some aspect of their identity. Above all, a generous spirit. A kindness.'

The Oscar-winning actress, 44, who is an executive producer on the programme, gave a statement on the new content which is set to be released on the BBC My World YouTube channel in the coming weeks.The new content will include vlogs and experiences from young people in lockdown around the world, tips and coping strategies for home education and young people's questions put to BBC experts, particularly on health.The Maleficent star said: 'Children have not been out of school on this scale since the Second World War. 'This is something that throughout their lifetimes, they will remember. It is something that older generations, for all their other reference points, have not experienced. 'The way children go through this time - from the tools and information they can access to the ways they can communicate to and help each other - will be unique to their generation. 'We want to help kids to have access to trusted content and tools that will be useful to them during the pandemic: including helping them to seek out fact-based and reliable news, question the information they receive, and learn from each other's experiences.' The new content will also be distributed across the BBC's global platforms including 42 language services. BBC My World is a global show for young audiences produced by the BBC World Service which launched in January 2020. It provide facts and information for young people to make up their own minds about international issues and is presented by Radzi Chinyanganya and Nomia Iqbal. This follows on from a coronavirus special episode which aired at the weekend. BBC World Service Group director Jamie Angus said: 'This is an unprecedented situation; so many school age children and young people are now out of schools, but the need has never been greater for them to have access to trusted and accessible information about coronavirus, and for educators to use that content in remote learning. 'The BBC World Service will bring its ability to report the truly global scale of this challenge, into creating meaningful and relevant content for our young audiences. 'We will be reaching out to young people from across the globe, hearing about their experiences, and sharing the information they need to live healthy and productive lives during this difficult time. 'Continuing production of this successful programme feels like the right thing to do in the circumstances.' The BBC will also be sharing this content with UNESCO'S Global Education Coalition, a new website providing remote educational content to kids in lockdown around the world.

'Many children depend on the care and nutrition they receive during school hours, including nearly 22 million children in America who rely on food support.' Angelina, who is famous for her philanthropy, added: 'Kid Hungry is making resolute efforts to reach as many of those children as possible.' She has worked extensively with the United Nations and co-wrote a Time essay published Wednesday promoting UNESCO's new Global Education Coalition, which seeks to facilitate remote education as schools close around the world. In 2006 the film star and her ex-husband Brad Pitt started their own charity named after their eldest son Maddox, 18, and focused on his native Cambodia.
