Angelina Jolie believes that having a glittering Hollywood lifestyle is better than a normal career because it enables her to spend more time with her children.

The humanitarian is currently expecting twins with her partner Brad Pitt. They already have four other children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh.

Speaking to The Sun, Angelina says: “I’m very, very lucky. A lot of mothers don’t have a job where they can just work a few months in a year and then come out for two days for a press conference.

“My schedule is very small in comparison when it comes to hours so I can afford to spend as much time as possible with my children.”

The Beowulf beauty added: “When I’m working, Brad’s home with the children and vice versa. We do have nannies that help us, but nobody spends the night.

“We also spend a lot of time completely alone with our children. We’ve kind of found a balance. And this year I’m taking off completely for the family.”
