In between filming the blockbuster, the actresses found time to relax and went paintballing together.
Angelina said: 'We like some sports. You're [Elle] just crazy with things. She was shooting people on her own team, I take it too seriously, slightly too aggressive.''She brought all her assassin knowledge,' Elle added.'We didn’t tell production, it was one of those where we don’t tell them,' Angelina said.Angelina is mother of six children, Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, who she shares with estranged husband Brad Pitt.The former couple split in 2016 and although they were declared legally single earlier this year, their marriage still hasn't been officially dissolved yet.The actress spoke candidly about wanting to focus on 'raising her children well', as she made an appearance at the Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil press conference in London last week. Discussing her goals for the future, Angelina said: 'I feel I like being an artist [is important] of course, but I’d like the other aspects of my work to take over my life a little bit more in the years ahead.'Really I just want to raise my children well, they’re all at those very special ages where you don’t want to miss a moment and just get it right before they’re out in the world on their own and having to face it.'You hope you get all the good stuff in, so that’s my main focus. But I have some other crazy ideas for future things, let’s see what happens.'
