Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt previously admitted that they didn't really push their kids to follow in their footsteps in the film industry. However, the 40-year-old actress recently told Entertainment Tonight that almost all of her kids took part in "Kung Fu Panda 3".
The actress, who reprises her role as the Tigress in the animated movie, said that she took her kids, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Knox, with her to work one day. In the studio, they provided animal noises for some of the pandas, she revealed.
"They were kind of shy," Jolie told the news outlet of her kids. "They don't really want to be actors, but I didn't want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it." Except Knox, the other three kids are no newbies when it comes to working on a movie set with Jolie and Pitt.
Back in 2014, Jolie said of her daughter Vivienne who appeared in her film "Maleficent", "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal, for Brad and I, at all."
In the third installment of the "Kung Fu Panda" movie series, after reuniting with his long-lost biological father, Po is taken to a secret panda village in the mountain where he can find other panda species that he never thought existed. When the supernatural Kai begins to threaten all of China, Po starts teaching his friends, both new and old, how to become kung fu masters.
In addition to featuring Jolie and her kids' voices, "Kung Fu Panda 3" features the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, James Hong, Bryan Cranston, Kate Hudson and J.K. Simmons. "Kung Fu Panda 3" is set to hit U.S. theaters on January 29.
