The coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone on a global scale, and Angelina Jolie is currently self-isolating with her children in Los Angeles. While it is a worrying time, there has been one positive from the situation for the Hollywood star, as she has been able to spend quality time with her oldest son Maddox. The 18-year-old has been studying in South Korea at Younsei University, but it's believed he is back living with his mum and siblings now that the school has closed. Speaking about Maddox, Angelina told Dong-a Daily: "I could not be happier about Mad's choice of university. It is of course closed at the moment because of the pandemic. But he's not transferring school."

She said: "When your children are little you feel more 'mummy'. When they are teenagers you start to remember yourself as a teenager. You see them going to punk clubs and you wonder why you can't go. I'm in this fun moment where I’m rediscovering myself."

During an interview on BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour, she said: "All the kids are learning different languages. I asked them what languages they wanted to learn and Shi is learning Khmai, which is a Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, Z is speaking French, Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic, and Knox is learning sign language."
