'I think it kind of happened at exactly the right time because the preparation for it was layered', he explains. 'There was a physical element to it, emotional, research element interviewing people but then there was a spiritual element to it as well.

Still, if Jolie wants she can refer to herself as the rather longwinded Angelina Jolie DCMG.
