AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie has added two disabled rabbits to her family.
The actress reveals her daughter Vivienne's bunny died during a recent surgery and she decided to double down and replace the lost pet with two that really needed a lot of care of attention.
"We adopted two sweet little ones who are disabled," Angelina tells Harper's Bazaar. "They need to be in pairs. They are so gentle and it has helped to focus on their care with her at this time. And on the dogs, and snake and lizard..."
Sharing her self-isolation rituals during the eight-week coronavirus lockdown, the "Salt" star tells the publication, "I am in listening mode most hours of the day. I follow Time magazine, The New York Times, the BBC World Service and BLM (Black Lives Matter) activists online."
"Most recently, I've watched the documentary 'I Am Not Your Negro' about James Baldwin and the civil-rights movement in America. Before bed, I've been reading 'Unreasonable Behaviour' by Don McCullin and reflecting on how journalism has changed in the last half a century."
And she has been trying to stay calm amid the drama of the killer virus, the death of George Floyd, and Black Lives Matter protests so as not to upset her six kids.
"Like most parents, I focus on staying calm so my children don't feel anxiety from me on top of all they are worrying about," she explains. "I put all my energy into them."
