If she has it her way, you won't be seeing much of her on the big screen in years to come!
Angelina Jolie took a break from filming By The Sea to sit down for an interview with DuJour magazine, and the actress chatted about her plans to give up acting for directing, as well as the challenges that come with directing husband Brad Pitt in their first film together since 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
"I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera. I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier," the Oscar winner admitted. The 39-year-old has directed Unbroken and In the Land of Blood and Honey, so she's already on her way!
Giving screen direction to her A-list hubby hasn't been without its challenges, but she insists it's a new and rewarding experience for both of them. "The tricky thing is directing myself and directing Brad. It's hard, dramatic material, and we're balancing. It's a heavy film, and it's not easy for us. But even as you struggle through it, you're in the trenches together and you don't expect it to be easy. We're challenging each other and that's a really good thing," she gushed.
Is there anything Angie can't do?! It doesn't seem like it!
