Angelina, a modern day Super-mum

Angelina Jolie has hinted that she would like even more children after the birth of her twins, following a comment made to a journalist during the Cannes Film Festival recently.

The Hollywood beauty is already mother to Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three and 23 month old biological daughter Shiloh, and amidst these new suggestions of increasing the Jolie-Pitt clan even further, many fear she may be taking on too much.

There have been serious concerns surrounding the Hollywood A-lister’s health since pictures began appearing in the press of a pale Angelina looking increasingly thin and exhausted. However the super-mum continues to see to her public duties both on and off the red carpet with partner Brad Pitt and is seemingly more content than ever.

As the Jolie-Pitt family continues to grow, Angelina’s responsibilities outside of family life also seem unwavering. Angelina’s humanitarian work has been a huge focus over the past few years alongside her successful film career.

While filming Tomb Raider in 2001, the Hollywood actress had her first insight into the crises in poverty-stricken Cambodia and was deeply moved by what she saw. In the following months Angelina visited refugee camps around the world to educate herself about the conditions of these areas. Her efforts sparked an interest from the United Nations and in August 2001, impressed by her level of commitment to the Asian nation, the UN named her a Goodwill Ambassador. Since then, Angelina has supported humanitarian projects around the world, setting up schools and rebuilding villages in some of Asia’s poorest areas.

At just 32, Angelina has achieved a great deal in her life and in honour of her much anticipated and imminent birth, and in dedication to her humanitarian work, we take a look back in pictures at Angelina’s journey from party-girl rebel to modern day super-mum.
