Angelina Jolie has insisted it was not possible for her to direct after getting divorced.
The 45-year-old star - who has Maddox, 18, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with former husband Brad Pitt - loves working behind the camera but has found the shorter schedule of acting projects has been better for her family life since her marriage came to an end in 2016.
She told Entertainment Weekly magazine: I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that s not made it possible for me to direct for a few years. I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That s really the truth of it.
