Angelina Jolie opened up to People [1] this week about her latest movie, First They Killed My Father, which she's currently filming in Cambodia. The Oscar winner, whose six children are growing up before our eyes [2], revealed that she's been "surrounded by toys," on the set, adding, "We have 250 children in a scene, so I filled the house, my car, my trailer with toys. It's my 'I love babies' fix." Her wistful comments come just months after rumors swirled that she and husband Brad Pitt [3] were considering adopting another child. [4]

Angelina and Brad have given us lots of insight into their relationship [5] and roles as parents while promoting their new film By the Sea this month. In a joint interview with WSJ Magazine [6], Brad touched on Angelina as a mother, saying, "She has an incredible knack for inventing crazy experiences for them, something new, something fresh. I may be the bigger goof of the pair, but she invents the stage."

When it comes to more serious subjects, like Angelina's preventative surgeries [7] — including a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes — she goes out of her way to make sure that the couple's children, who range in age from 7 to 14, aren't concerned about her health. "I want to make sure my kids are never worried about me," she told WSJ. "Even if I'm going through something, I make sure they are very aware that I'm totally fine. I'll stop and make a joke. I talk to them. I never, ever want them to have that secret worry and feel that they have to take care of me."
