SYDNEY:Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie says she plans to give up acting after a “few more” films and switch her focus to directing.
Jolie walked the red carpet in Sydney with husband Brad Pitt this week at the premiere of her new movie, World War II epic Unbroken, which was filmed in Australia.
It was her second foray behind the camera after the critically-acclaimed 2011 In the Land of Blood and Honey and she said directing was now her passion and where she saw the future.
“I’ll do a few more, but I’ll be happy to let that all go at some point,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald of acting, in comments published online on Thursday.
“I love directing, I’m much happier directing,” added the 39-year-old.
“I like following a project all the way through. I like spending two years on something and learning about it… I like being pushed mentally to have to learn so much and be a part of every single aspect of a production.
“She separately told The Australian newspaper that “unless I’m sure there’s a role or something I should do or (that) really means something to me, I’d rather be spending my time telling stories from behind the camera”.
