Motherhood -- six kids and counting! -- hasn't dampened Angelina Jolie's thirst for action and danger.
The 34-year-old mom and beau to Brad Pitt tells Entertainment Weekly about making the action thriller Salt shortly after giving birth to twins Vivienne and Knox, 20 months.

"I had just had two babies, and the push to be physically strong was very welcomed at the time," she says of the role -- which was originally written for a man, with Tom Cruise once attached.
Jolie hasn't stopped doing the stuntwork that helped make her famous in action hits like the Tomb Raider movies and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where she met Pitt. "The funny thing about having children," she admits, "is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it."

In addition to the twins, Jolie and Pitt's swashbuckling brood includes Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5 and Shiloh, 3.

Does she want to work with her man again? "I love working with him," she gushed. "He's my favorite actor to work with, and the only complicated thing is to find the right project."
Tell Us What You Think
145The Yankees are so shallow, I thought they were different, I thought America was a country of equality and that there was as much machismo in Latin America or El Salvador, but I was wrong. Now the U.S. is the country where men are more shallow and sexist than other parts of the world. I have been disappointed. They only see the physical beauty and a woman. That Angelina Jolie DOES SHOWS charity only to find more publicity. If you really are worried about the countries in africa who donates all his money to them that it is not anything, to stop spending on unnecessary beauty treatments, to stop spending on his vanity. Idiots do not realize that it is a double-sided woman has achieved its fame by sleeping with directors and other powerful men, without a brain, breasts and legs only. That is a wicked woman, egocentric and believed that divine beauty and low to see other women imbeciles that the rise in his arms. How superficial are, they see that beauty is completed. And we do with the beauty of Angelina Jolie Do you think that this will improve the world? What we need are intelligent women and good feelings to alleviate this corrupt world. And forgive my many spelling errors, I do not speak English, but Spanish, so I use a translator.

how can you refer to angelina as a girl? lmao look at the first pic... she's more like someones aunt (who's niece is scared by that vein) rapidly becoming a grandma
no bull fighter, all those refugees she visited are not benefiting, they are still living in those conditions! angelina just speaks out about what she wants the GOVERNMENT to do, she can't do sh!t
US Magazine, I'm seeing some very threatening comments, the vitriole is verging on dangerous. Do you really think a tag 'She better Die soon' is appropriate? Disgusting and should be illegal. I work, live in a world most people don't venture into, my world is full and this is my escapism, not a place to voice pathetic comments that having nothing to do with Brad and Angelina as they really are. For the record, Angelina doesn't need photoshopping, always beautiful no matter the context. Guess envy just overrides reality for some.
Angelina is undeniably the most sexy, talented girl in Hollywood. I do understand how some people might vicariously feel a loyalty to Brad's ex, but for all their sakes it's time to move on, or at least talk about Gwyenth Paltrow or Juliette Lewis, far more interesting although still not in Angelina's league. Hate is a wasted emotion, look beyond it the good Ange continues to do, whatever you think her motive to be, refugees are benefiting, is that so bad?
GAWD IM SO TIRED OF LOKING AT HER UGLY FACE
she is f#cking ugly in the first pic!
and yes, brad and angie do look at each other lovingly, but brad and jen also used to look at each other lovingly when they were together and look how that ended?
to bull fighter, jen also had fame and fortune BEFORE she met brad. she was on FRIENDS, on of the greatest and most successful shows OF ALL TIME!!
she's got bug eyes, and a big vein on that big forehead, big square jaw, prune wrinkled lips. plastic surgeon did a good job on the nose though
OMG! she's so beautiful...
Angelina is the most beautiful, talented, edgy, authentic actor today. So many have joined the Ange lynch mob, branding her a scarlet woman for falling in love. Unlike Brad's exes Anglina had fame and fortune BEFORE she met brad, they are together because they choos to be, if you check out the videos of them you see so many intimate moments that are obviously not staged, Angelina trying to not laugh while Brad tries to sneak a touch of her when she is doing something serious. They still look into each other's eyes with love and have shared more in their relationship than many do in ten years. angelina is looking fantastic, both in Salt and The Tourist, she is action personified, a risk taker in real life and one who would be a deadly enemy. I would be so bored without Angelina, she is the red tint that gives hollywood it's colour, love her or hate her, she intrigues. So beautiful.
she is a liar! in TR she didn't even do most of the real stunts (no, running is not a stunt) she should feel ashamed for taking all the credit!
I am jealous... this woman is so beautiful... a rare beauty.
her big wide jaw is ugly
yeah, brad and jen were married for 5 years! together for 8 years, if he was so unhappy for 8 years, he would have left. but suddenly angelina shows up and seduces him. and to nutte, a a few weeks before they broke up brad said he loved jen. they were happy and it showed!! him and angie are pathetic, the only thing that's keeping them together are their kids
i can't believe angie lets her kids watch her movies! they are way too young to be watching their mom make out with another man on screen. her movies are filled with violence and sexual scenes... so not appropriate for children!!!!
JEN FANS WANT BRAD TO BE JEN'S SLAVE? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING? EVERYONE KNOWS BRAD IS ANGIE'S SLAVE, SHE ALWAYS TELL'S HIM WHAT TO DO... JEN AND BRAD HAD MORE EQUAL SAY IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THAT SAID THERE IS NO WAY JEN WOULD TAKE BRAD'S OLD FACE AND BEARD BACK, SHE HAD HIM WHEN HE WAS HOT, NOW HE'S UGLY
ANGELINA IS NO DIFFERENT FROM MICHELLE MCGEE. BOTH TATTOO FREAKED HOME-WRECKERS THAT TRY SO HARD TO DISGUISE THEIR TRUE NATURE. ANGIE IS NO HUMANITARIAN, THAT'S JUST A DISGUISE FOR THE TRUE VILE PERSON SHE REALLY IS
