"They all went in, they took it very seriously and then in the car, they were like, 'that's what you do? It's so easy.'" Call it a new spin on take your kid to work day. In a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Angelina Jolie shared that four members of the Jolie-Pitt clan appear in their mother's latest film, Kung Fu Panda 3. Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 9, and Knox, 7, all voice minor characters in the animated film. After a day at work with their mom, they joked that her job is "so easy" after seeing her in action: "I think it backfired a little because I did say, 'okay you're going to come to mommy's work,'" said Jolie. "They see me on set every day doing things and directing but this was a moment of seeing me act—you're going to do some lines, you're going to act. They all went in, they took it very seriously and then in the car, they were like, 'that's what you do? It's so easy.'" The star admitted the kids were initially shy but ended up "having a lot of fun with it." Jolie also discussed how she and husband Brad Pitt handle fan encounters when their children are present: "We only explain it so they are not afraid when they see people coming at you with a camera because it can feel aggressive," she said. "We always say it's just because people are interested in films, and because of films, people take pictures."But the Jolie-Pitt kids are no stranger to the family business. Vivienne, 7, played baby Aurora in Maleficent (Jolie played the title character), while Zahara and Pax , 12, had minor walk-on roles. Maddox, 14, is also helping his mother with pre-production for her next project, an adaptation of Loung Ung's First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.

She rendezvoused with husband Brad Pitt who is off filming in London as she was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday.But it seemed to be a short reunion for the family as Angelina Jolie and her children were spotted arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.The 40-year-old star was hand-in-hand with Pax, 12, Zahara, 11 and nine-year-old Shiloh shortly after touching down at the international travel hub.Her 52-year-old husband has been busy filming the sequel for World War Z in the capital city of England.Angelina has been busy herself as she recently wrapped filming her upcoming Netflix movie, First They Killed My Father, in Cambodia.The Maleficent star looked as chic as ever as she sported a long black jacket over a clinging black midi dress and knee-high leather boots.She wore her signature raven-coloured tresses down flowing over her shoulder as she had natural, complimentary make-up on her face topped off with a swipe of shiny pink lip.Angelina accessorised the look with a pair of large, black aviator shades and a brown leather Louis Vuitton bag draped over her shoulders.Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Angelina has secretly added two large new tattoos to her collection - and now her entire back is covered in inkings by the same Thai tattoo master.Ajarn Noo Kanpai - the same guru who inked her left shoulder blade in 2003 and the tiger on her lower back in 2004 - carried out the work last month.He was flown from his base near Bangkok to Siem Reap in Cambodia where Angelina is directing First They Killed My Father to complete her 11-year series of inkings.
Angelina's husband Brad Pitt was also tattooed on his left side in the same session, and now has a Buddhist symbol inking on his stomach.The same ink was believed to have been used by Ajarn Noo for the work, symbolically binding husband and wife together.Buddhists believe the mystical tattoos have powers of strength and healing, with the one applied to her right shoulder designed to offer protection for mother-of-six Angelina's family.A source said: 'The tattoos are composed of grids with pyramids at the top, which are full of ancient Buddhist symbols and prayers. They help to give the wearer protection and health.'Angelina is a very spiritual person and has long believed her tattoos are more than just designs on her body – that they actually hold some meaning, power and influence over her.'

Angelina Jolie Pitt thought she had her kids under control — until about four years ago.Swapping childrearing stories with her Kung Fu Panda 3 costar Jack Black, Jolie Pitt, 40, who is mom to Maddox, 14, Pax, 12, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 7, says, “You think the kids know nothing, and then you find out they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, seen it.’ That happened like four years ago.”Black says while his kids — Samuel, 9, and Thomas, 7 — love the Kung Fu Panda movies, “They’re a little weirded out that I’m in them. They haven’t seen any of my movies except Kung Fu Panda. I don’t like to say, ‘Hey, you have to see School of Rock.’ ” He adds that as of now, he doesn’t want his kids to watch any of his R-rated films. “I don’t think they’re ready for The Pick of Destiny, where I smoke a bong with Satan. But someday they probably will be.” Jolie Pitt quips, “Whereas my eldest probably already has. My oldest especially loves Jack’s music. He’s introduced him to a few words, few thoughts.”

Angelina Jolie says she's raising "confident children."The 40-year-old actress/director, who has six kids -- Maddox, 14, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 9, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 7 -- with husband Brad Pitt, told Britain's OK! magazine (via the Belfast Telegraph), "As a parent, you want to create a safe, happy environment where your children feel loved and secure, it builds their self-confidence and that's going to help them deal with the problems they'll face later in life." She continued, "I'm very honest with them and I often talk to them about serious issues, so they're not scared by things they don't understand. I want them to be able to explore their own imaginations. Brad and I want them to grow up ready to deal with the real world and know that we'll always be there to support them." After Knox and Vivienne were born, "The first year was the toughest because I wasn't able to spend as much time with our children as I had before," Jolie said. "But Brad was great about looking after them and making sure mummy would get enough sleep and that everything was OK in the house. It was beautiful to watch him being so caring and generous, even though I could see how exhausted he was at times." Asked on "The Today Show" last week if her kids will follow in her and Pitt's acting footsteps, Jolie said, "I hope not!" "We've always said if they're going to be actors I hope they do something [else first] and then be actors," she said.The four youngest children nonetheless contributed animal noises for Jolie's new film "Kung Fu Panda 3." Jolie said "they took it very seriously.""They came in and said, 'I don't know if I could do this. I'm not sure if I can do this,'" she said, "but they really took it seriously as a job and getting it right and not doing a bad job."

A month cannot go by without a rumor about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt doing the rounds. Whether it’s an impending divorce, or yet another child adoption, these rumors crop up on a regular basis.The latest rumor was reportedly published by RadarOnline, saying that with all the time spent in Cambodia filming Angelina Jolie’s latest film, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, the famous couple were planning on adopting yet another Cambodian child.Jolie Pitt’s latest directorial is based on the memoir of Loung Ung, an author and human rights activist during the brutal Khmer Rouge regime of the 1970s. Brad and Angelina also recently attended the Cambodia International Film Festival, where Jolie Pitt led an honorary committee.Anyway, the rumor of the couple adopting yet another Cambodian child even hit the more mainstream media.Brad and Angelina’s oldest son Maddox, 14, was born in Cambodia and was adopted by the couple. However, the rumor that Brad Pitt and Angelina were considering adopting another child from Cambodia was shot down by none other than the Cambodian government itself. Reportedly, they saw the news on Facebook and immediately responded, saying the rumor was false.Sao Samphois, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Social Affairs Inter-Country Adoption Admistration told The Phnom Penh Post, “I saw [the news] on Facebook, but actually it’s just a rumor.”
Samphois continued by saying they had not been in contact with Angelina Jolie Pitt while she was filming in Cambodia and went on to stress there is currently no agreement in place for adoptions between the U.S. and Cambodia and, in fact, there hasn’t been since 2001, over various trafficking concerns. Even if they wanted to, Brangelina could not currently adopt another Cambodian child.Reportedly, despite the fact Brad Pitt did tell the Telegraph recently they had actually planned on having 12 children, it looks like it will remain with just six for now, namely Maddox, 14, Pax, 12, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, 9 and 7-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Brad did admit in the interview he really enjoys having the Jolie Pitt brood around him. “Everyone talks about the joy of having kids — blah, blah, blah. But I never knew how much I could love something until I looked in the faces of my children. … [There’s] a lot of love, a lot of fighting, a lot of refereeing. A lot of teeth-brushing and spilling.”Brad and Angelina travel frequently and these travels include taking the adopted children to their birth countries, as Angelina feels it is important for them to learn about their original homes.
“We travel often to Asia, Africa, Europe, where they were born. The boys know they’re from Southeast Asia, and they have their food and their music and their friends, and they have a pride particular to them.”Angelina did add that she wants them to be just as interested in the history of their sisters’ countries and their parents’ home country.Talking traveling, the whole family spent some vacation time over the Christmas holidays, traveling around Vietnam and Thailand and generally having fun, but as reported on the Inquisitr, Pax, 12, who was adopted from that country, had an unfortunate accident and broke his leg while jet skiing in Phuket.Despite all the fun they are having, it seems for now the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Pitt family will remain at a total of eight.
