Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight is surprised by his daughter's ever-expanding brood - because she never showed any motherly instincts when she was younger.

The pair recently reconciled after a long rift, which started when Voight told a TV interviewer Jolie had "severe emotional problems".

And Voight is looking forward to meeting his new grandchildren; Knox and Vivienne - Jolie and partner Brad Pitt's fifth and sixth children.

But the Midnight Cowboy star never expected Jolie to be a mother to so many.

He says, "You know she wasn't the kind that played with dolls and then all of the sudden she has all of these children.

"She loves kids though. Very playful. It's wonderful."
