Angelina Jolie had a surprising answer for a reporter who asked if she feels 'nervous' about her son Maddox flying a plane.The 49-year-old critically acclaimed actress answered, 'No,' in her recent W magazine interview when prompted about her 23-year-old child.Inside the glossy's Volume 1, Best Performances issue, she explained, 'Maybe I just have a big family.'I worry more that people aren't finding themselves and something they love. I think that's more dangerous — to walk so tentatively through life that you don't take a risk. You don't wake up with passion. I think that's scarier.'She elaborated, 'I'd rather they be out there trying and failing than not pushing and being passionate.'In December she confirmed that Maddox had become a trained pilot during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'Every time Mad sees a plane, he's amazed,' she previously shared with People magazine. 'If I could actually fly a plane by the time he's 4, I'll be like Superman to him.' She later bought a Cirrus SR22-G2, a single-engine plane, and used the initials MX in her tail number as a nod to her child. In 2017 she told the outlet, 'He's quite capable and always takes me by surprise. He's been practicing flying, then they called me the other day and said, 'So Mad can go solo,' and I nearly dropped the phone!' Elsewhere in her new W feature, Jolie remarked that she loathes a liar.'My pet peeve is somebody who is a liar,' she opened up.'Somebody who feels a need to not say the truth or what they want, what they feel,' she went on.'There's a big version of that — and I'm not trying to be heavy about it — but people who say one thing and mean another, who aren't completely who they are. I think a lot of people don't say what they mean,' she stated.In addition to Maddox, the Maria sensation is mom to Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and fraternal twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. She shares her brood of six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, with whom she reached a divorce settlement last week.Eight years after the siren filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences,' the former couple came to a legal agreement.Angelina's lawyer James Simon told People: 'More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.'Although the split was acrimonious, a source close to Jolie added: 'She doesn't speak ill of [Pitt] publicly or privately. She's been trying hard to be light after a dark time.'

Angelina Jolie was supported by daughter Zahara while attending the 36th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on Friday. The Maria star, 49, looked in good spirits, after finalizing her bitter divorce from Brad Pitt, 61, as she smiled for the cameras at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The actress — who was recently seen for the first time since her and Pitt's eight-year divorce battle concluded — made a striking entrance in a floor-length black halter-neck gown. She accessorized with Fred Leighton jewels, including gold hoop and bezel set diamond drop earrings, and an oval diamond and ebony ring by Antonia Miletto. The beauty — who is set to walk away $80 million richer after the divorce — completed her look with pointed-toe black heels, and wore her long tresses in a straight style. Meanwhile Zahara, 19, who seemingly dropped her famous father's last name last year, looked chic in a sleeveless white lace gown. Earlier on Friday, the Maleficent actress — who recently stated that she hates 'liars' — flashed a cheerful smile as she made a grand arrival to the event for a screening of her critically acclaimed movie, Maria.Her appearance came just days after it was revealed both she and Brad finalized their 'horrendous' divorce — although the former couple's battle of their French vineyard is still ongoing.During the festivities, Angelina — who 'hopes Brad will stop attacking her' — was also honored with the Desert Palm Achievement for Best Actress.The biographical drama, Maria — which was directed by Pablo Larrain — officially dropped on Netflix last month in December.Jolie has since garnered praise for her performance as the late opera singer, Maria Callas - and received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama.Not present on Friday were Angelina's other five children. Jolie and Pitt, best known as 'Brangelina', share three biological children - Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 - as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara. Since their parents' bitter split, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne have all dropped Pitt from their last name. It has been reported that Maddox and Pax do not talk to their father - while it is believed that Knox and Vivienne still speak with the Fight Club star, though they have not been pictured with him in several years. Their bitter custody battle over their six children ended with Angelina retaining primary physical custody of their brood. Brad was granted visitation rights.The actor had originally sought a 50/50 arrangement relating to their six kids, but an insider told DailyMail.com in March this year that he was no longer contesting the matter.Court documents filed in 2018 showed that Brad has paid Angelina — who has a promising new project set for early 2025 — at least $9 million in child support.
The children have reportedly not had any contact with Brad's wider family either, including his parents - William, 84, and Jane Pitt, 83.'Brad Pitt's parents have not been able to see their beloved grandchildren for around eight years amid the ongoing divorce and legal battle between Brad and Angelina,' an insider previously told DailyMail.com.Last week Jolie and Pitt reached a settlement in their divorce.Eight years after Angelina filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences', the former couple have finally come to an agreement on terms and both have signed off on it.A source told DailyMail.com that Brad — who met Angelina while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004 — is 'relieved that this weight is finally lifted from him. He is no longer bound in any way to his marriage with Angelina. She has really put him through the ringer and he is just glad this portion is done.'Angelina's attorney told DailyMail.com of the divorce: 'More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt.'She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.'This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.' Angelina filed for divorce from Brad in September 2016 after just two years of marriage.It came just days after a journey on a private plane in which Angelina claimed Brad was abusive to her and their six children but authorities did not charge him after investigating.They were declared legally single in 2019 but have battled over custody and legal issues over their French estate and winery, Château Miraval, since the split.Brad has since got into a serious relationship with Ines de Ramon who he has been romantically linked to since 2022.Although they kept their relationship private, in recent months they have made several red carpet appearances together and Brad is said to be 'in love' with the 32-year-old beauty.'Brad is so grateful that he gets to leave all of this in the past as he starts a new year,' the insider tells DailyMail.com.'It is true that he wants to take his relationship with Ines to the next level but they are not in any rush to do so. She is thrilled for him and has been super supportive of him through all of this.'
