The actor and humanitarian, Angelina Jolie, is  the March 2021 cover star for British Vogue.

for the magazine, Jolie opened up about her family and ageing. She mentioned how her family had been "healing" since her much publicised break-up with actor Brad Pitt.

"The past few years have been pretty hard. I’ve been focusing on healing our family. It’s slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body,” she said.
As for her large family, with some of her children being from a different cultural heritage to her, Jolie said: "They are from across the globe. When I see Mad in Cambodia, it’s his home. He is a Cambodian man, and at the same time, he is also an American citizen and a global citizen."

The actor also spoke about getting older, saying: "I'm looking forward to my fifties - I feel that I'm gonna hit my stride in my fifties."
Many people on social media agreed that Jolie seems to get better with age.
Jolie also spoke about her humanitarian work saying that she's learned to work within the system.

"I’m still just as angry about injustice, but whereas my younger self wanted to tear down the system, I’ve learnt I have to fight to try to change it from within."
