The award-winning star was friends with the A-lister's mother Marcheline Bertrand who passed away from breast cancer in 2007 . Actress Jacqueline Bissett has opened up about her friendship with Hollywood star Angelina Jolie .The Golden Globe winner was on Loose Women when she admitted she couldn't believe how the star juggles her busy life."Six children, a husband, a career, and directing I don't know how she does it. I don't know how any human being can do that."What I admire is that she carries a kind of quality of peace that just emanates from her." The 71-year-old, who was close friends with Angelina's mother Marcheline Bertrand who passed away from breast cancer in 2007, said that although she is godparent to Angelina she "rarely" sees her because she doesn't want to bother her."Unfortunately I haven't developed a close relationship with Angelina, I see her rarely but I'm very admiring of her."What I find difficult is she's become so famous. So many people are pulling on her time, I'm a little bit shy and I don't want to be someone who tries to take advantage of her."Occasionally people say to me, 'Oh you know Angelina Jolie', and I say 'no she needs her space and she needs to do her number' but she's pretty remarkable." Jacqueline stars in the recent film Miss You Already alongside Toni Colette and Drew Barrymore , who also appeared on the ITV chat show just last week.There are some perks to having a major Hollywood star as a friend, as Jacqueline revealed she was all set to make a cameo in 2005 hit Mr and Mrs Smith but was left on the cutting room floor."I played a very small part in her film, Mr and Mrs Smith, I was supposed to be Brad Pitt's boss and Terry Stamp was her boss."But it didn't work out, they cut us, they didn't like two English people or something, and they put two African-Americans in and they didn't like them either and then it never ended up in the film."But I watched her on the set and she was so together, she was just joyful and friendly and amazing and I thought this woman's going to be a director."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Finalize Plans To Adopt Baby No. 7 From Syria

Looks like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s brood is about to get even bigger! An insider tells Radar, the actor, 51, and actress, 40, have begun the process of adopting a Syrian orphan she met during a trip to the war-torn country while serving as the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. “On one solo trip, Angelina met three Syrian orphan siblings,” the insider alleges. “Angelina was heartbroken to learn the three of them had seen their father taken away by Syrian soldiers, and their home was also bombed. And they lost their mother in the bombing.” While Angelina allegedly wanted to adopt all three brothers, Brad reportedly said no — explaining it would be too much with their six other children, 14-year-old Maddox, 11-year-old Pax, 10-year-old Zahara, nine-year-old Shiloh and seven-year-old twins Pax and Vivienne. The source explains, “Going from six children to nine was just way too much, and Brad was concerned about how it would impact their six other kids. But Angie didn’t put up a fight. She knew it just wouldn’t work.” While it’s unclear the age of the young boy they allegedly plan on adopting — the insider says the middle child “could speak some English,” while the oldest “was very quiet, but never left Angie’s side during the visit” — the process of adding another son to their famous family has reportedly begun. That said, it could be a long time until the child moves in with Brad and Angie.“It has been a very long process to adopt the Syrian orphan,” the source explains.“The red tape has been almost impossible at times. It could take at least another four to five months before the child is brought to the United States.”

There might just be another movie star in the Jolie-Pitt family! According to a new report, Angelina Jolie has cast her 14-year-old son, Maddox, in her next directorial project, ‘First They Killed My Father.’ Find out more about the mother-son collaboration here! Now that Angelina Jolie, 40, has finished By the Sea — her second film with hubby Brad Pitt, 51 — she’s ready to bring more family into her work life! For her next project, she’s directing a Netflix biography called First They Killed My Father, and she has allegedly cast her son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 14, in a role. This is not only Maddox’s opportunity to prove he has picked up the same acting chops as his famous parents, but also his chance to show the world who he really is! Angelina’s project is an amazing choice for Maddox’s breakout role, as the movie is based in Cambodia, where Maddox was born. The film is a bit of a darker one, centered around the deadly reign of ruler Khmer Rough in the 1970s, but a source told OK! magazine that Maddox is just excited to be in a movie!“[Maddox] has been desperate to get into acting,” the insider told the outlet. “This is a dream come true for him. He’s read the book the film’s based on and speaks the language. It’s a perfect fit.”
Although First They Killed My Father would be the first major role for Maddox, he has already had a little experience working alongside his parents — Maddox actually had a nonspeaking role as a zombie in Brad’s sci-fi flick World War Z! This also isn’t the first time Angelina has worked with one of their children, either. Brangelina’s daughter Vivenne, 7, played 5-year-old Aurora in Maleficent in 2014. It seems like Brad and Angelina’s incredible careers are rubbing off on their kids, and we certainly don’t mind!No further details about the movie have been revealed, but if Maddox really is starring in Angelina’s film, we can’t wait to see them work together. How amazing would it be to see another Jolie-Pitt become a star?!Would YOU love it if Maddox starred in Angelina’s movie, HollywoodLifers? Do you think he’s destined for stardom? Let us know!

While Shiloh/John Jolie-Pitt has yet to comment on his/her own gender identity, we will be using gender neutral “their/they" pronouns out of respect.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may be two of Hollywood’s most accepting parents.According to a new report by Radar Online, the parents-of-six have consulted with a transgender expert to address their nine-year-old child Shiloh’s reported gender dysmorphia.Angelina, Shiloh and her sister Zahara. “Brad and Angelina were only coming from a place of love and only wanting the best for Shiloh,” a source explains. “They want Shiloh to feel loved and secure.” In 2008, the Oscar-nominated actor, 51, told Oprah Winfrey that Shiloh preferred to go by the name John — a decision they supported.And now the parents want to make sure Shiloh isn’t just a “tomboy” and wasn't influenced into wearing suits — rather than dresses — by older brothers, Maddox, 14, and Pax, 11.“Brad was told Shiloh would have gravitated towards dressing as a boy, and being called John, even if [their] siblings were all girls,” the source explains.“It’s just the way Shiloh is.” While Angelina, 40, and Brad have both been “very accepting” of their child, the source is quick to note they are still a child — and neither Shiloh, nor either of their parents, have concretely labeled them as “transgender.” “Shiloh could be a tomboy and as a teenager could become the most girly girl,” the source says. “There are no concrete answers. Brad and Angelina are committed to giving Shiloh a loving family environment.”
