Now, in a new interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Jolie said she is warming to the idea of going into politics.
"When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered.
"Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility.
"But I honestly don't know in what role I would be more useful - I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that could make it less possible," she added. When asked if she sees herself forging a life in politics, Jolie replied: "I am open."
