Angelina Jolie said her husband Brad Pitt was against their children's wishes to have their own tattoos. The "Maleficent" actress told Radio Times that she turned down her eldest son Maddox's request to get inkings but now Zahara, 9, is curious about everything and it has horrified Brad.
"They're already asking me about tattoos," Angelina, who is also a mother to twins Vivienne and Knox, Shiloh and Pax, told the publication, "How do I say 'No'? It's especially hard for dads and girls. For some reason men get a little more sensitive when the daughter gets a tattoo. And Brad thinks the girls can do no wrong. He's mush in their hands!"
Talking about her children's future, Angelina said, "[Brad and I]'ve always said, if they want to act, we won't let them only act, because it's not enough. They'll have to find a real job at the same time. But I'm hoping that when they see all the other things in the world, they'll be inspired to be writers, politicians, activists. They're very individual people. So I imagine they're not going to follow their mum and dad."
In the interview, Angelina also talked about her upcoming movie "By the Sea" which also stars Brad. "It feels a little daunting," she shared, "[Brad and I] haven't worked together for ten years. But all of the reasons why people say we should be scared of it, we feel that's exactly why we have to do this - because we can. So we're going to go boldly."
She added of directing her husband in the movie, "He's a pretty strong actor! It's going to be interesting. He's a really great artist, such an interesting artist, and of course he's the man I love, so I think we're going to have a great time."
