Celebrated Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival where she shared the possible career preferences of children. Claiming that her children have no interest in pursuing acting as their profession.

Angelina, 49, after divorce settlement with Brad Pitt, said at the event: “No. I don’t know, that's not my doing. I always wanted them (my kids) to be around film because I wanted them to know as a part of — it's such a wonderful family, to be creative, to be an artist, to be… They're not interested.”

However, her two sons, Maddox and Pax, did some assistant director work behind the screens of Maria.

Angelina shares six kids with Brad–Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16.

Speaking at the same festival, the star recalled watching her father, Jon Voight, win Best Actor at the 1979 Academy Awards while her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, stayed home with her and her brother, James Haven. “My mom’s dream was to be an actor,” Jolie shared. “She was in her twenties, divorced from a very famous man, and home with her babies watching him win an Oscar with the other woman.”

Jolie described her mother’s sacrifice as something that stayed with her. “She was there for me and my brother, and that was the choice she made,” she said.
