Lana Del Rey gets in touch with her hippie bohemian side as she graces the cover of a top French magazine.The singer looks like a true child of the 1960s as she sits in a retro-style straw chair with her hair held in place by a leather head band.The laid back 26-year-old was photographed by French fashion photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Le Figaro madame magazine as she admitted she wants to be like Angelina Jolie.Speaking candidly to the publication about her charity work, Lana revealed that she admires Jolie and her involvement with African charities.She said: 'Music was my passion, but my work with this foundation is more important. I myself had the chance to be [helped by an establishment].'Helping others now feels like it's my turn to give something back. I want to become a sort of Angelina Jolie.'Like her, I think fame is nothing in itself, but it can be put to good use - by using it to generate money for charity for example.'
Lana's past alcohol issues perhaps stemmed from her artistic temperament and feeling odd compared to other children when growing up.She said: 'As a child, I felt different, she says. I always wanted to make my life a work of art.'The singer has certainly managed to achieve her aspirations as she sits picture perfect wearing a cool brown suede snake skin lined jacket.Looking like the embodiment of a mellow artist, Lana discussed how she began drinking at age 14 and was sent to detox at age 16 by her parents.The demons of her past alcohol issues still haunt her today and she said: 'When you no longer drink, it is more difficult to celebrate.'In fact, when I quit drinking, I lost my life. It took my all to reinvent myself. Find the roots. It was very difficult. At the same time, I had never felt rooted in whatever I've done or wherever I've been since.
