Angelina Jolie reveals her biggest fear is being a bad mother.
Angelina Jolie has revealed that her biggest fear isn't an enraged Jennifer Aniston but being a bad mother.
The Tomb Raider actress adopted her six-year-old son Maddox from Cambodia in 2002 but has admitted she had reservations about her potential for motherhood.
"I was always considered so dark and I thought maybe I shouldn't be someone's mom because I'm not so sure about myself - am I going to be the best mom?"
She says, "They put him [Maddox] in my arms and I stared at him and I started crying and he smiled. I hadn't held children before in my life.
"The fact that this little kid seemed so at ease gave me the courage to feel I could make him happy and so we became a family."
Jolie and partner Brad Pitt also have two other adopted children - four-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam and two-year-old Zahara who they adopted in Ethiopia - as well their own biological daughter, 19-month-old Shiloh.
But Shiloh's resemblance to her father set her apart from her siblings, the Beowulf star recently explained.
"She looks like Brad. It's funny because she's almost going to be the outcast in the family because she's blonde and blue-eyed," Jolie said.
