Angelina Jolie says movie star moms shouldn't complain about raising children
She's an Oscar-winning actress, humanitarian and most importantly, a mother of six. But you won't hear Angelina Jolie complaining about the hardships of being a working celebrity mom.
In a recent interview, the 38-year-old acknowledged she's lucky to have "much more support than most people" and that "most women in the world" have it tougher.
"I'm not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day," she said. "I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home, healthcare and food."
Furthermore, the star admitted she and fiance Brad Pitt have the ability to pick and chose projects that are convenient to their schedule.
"When I feel I'm doing too much, I do less, if I can. And that's why I'm in a rare position where I don't have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it."
Interestingly, Angelina's words come just weeks after Gwyneth Paltrow made statements - in the midst of her split from husband Chris Martin - to the contrary saying how it's harder' to raise children while maintaining an acting career than if she had a 9 to 5 job.
While Paltrow made no mention of movie star salaries, she pointed out her perceived hardships.
