When asked by presenter Justin Webb if she would be getting involved in politics, Jolie said that her answer 20 years ago would have been no, but now the answer is more complicated.

“If you asked me 20 years ago, I would’ve laughed,” she said. “I always say I’ll go where I’m needed, I don’t know if I’m fit for politics… but then I’ve also joked that I don’t know if I have a skeleton left in my closet. I’m also able to work with governments and I’m also able to work with militaries, and so I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done.”

According to various leftist sites, including The Advocate, the now-divorced couple reportedly supported their eight-year-old daughter Shiloh’s “decision” to both wear suits and be referred to by the name “John.” (Read more from “Is This Mega Actress Seriously Considering Running in 2020?” HERE)
