American actress, filmmaker and humanitarian Angelina Jolie is the cover for the latest edition. In this interview, an emotional Jolie also talks about how she misses her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer 10 years ago, more than ever and says her own health is good “so far” after her preventative surgeries to lessen the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
About her divorce and handling her family: “I have had my ups and downs. I guess I am a little bit stronger,” said the actress, “We all have our difficult times, but as a mother, you also have a responsibility first and foremost towards the kids. They are going through their formative years and everything else comes second to that.”
She’s very proud that Maddox and Pax got involved behind the scenes on First They Killed My Father. The movie grew from her longtime love for Cambodia, where she adopted Maddox in 2002 and where she has done humanitarian work for 14 years, establishing a foundation in Maddox’s name that helps local communities with education, health and more. “I wanted Maddox to see how extraordinary his country is,” she says of the movie.
Though they are still healing from the last year, the star says her family is out of “lockdown” and ready for new adventures.
“I think they’re itching to get out in the world again,” says Jolie. “We’ve all been a bit in lockdown and going through some things. I think it would be good to get out there and play together.”
