No regrets. Angelina Jolie has revealed that her experience of early menopause since having her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed back in March has not been bad at all.In fact, the 40-year-old wife of Brad Pitt says she "loves" being menopausal and isn't pining for her youth in any way.“I actually love being in menopause,” the mom-of-six said in an interview with Australia's Daily Telegraph. “I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate," she added."I feel older, and I feel settled being older," the actress and humanitarian continued. "I feel happy that I've grown up. I don't want to be young again."Jolie has been very vocal about her health choices, penning two New York Times op-eds on the topic. She first explained her decision to have a preventative double mastectomy back in 2013. Her second detailed her choice to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes in March of this year after a terrifying cancer scare.The By the Sea star has been keen to make it clear that, far from feeling the surgeries have had a detrimental effect on her life, these days she feels more womanly than ever."I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family," she wrote in her article back in March. "I know my children will never have to say, ‘Mom died of ovarian cancer.’"
