Angelina Jolie to take break from showbiz

By Ko Dong-hwan

Angelina Jolie, a cinematic icon equally famous for her humanitarian efforts, is planning to take a temporary leave from show business.

In an interview with Britain’s Showbiz Spy, Jolie quipped she was “done with Hollywood’’ for now. Jolie wishes to focus on raising her six adopted children and her work with the United Nation.

The interview came as her latest movie “Maleficent,” which is her first film in four years, is being promoted across the globe.

Asked about how her acting fits alongside rest of her life like raising children, directing and working with UN, Jolie said her new film conveys a good sense of morality to children.

“Maleficent,” based on Walt Disney’s 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty,” will hit theaters in the nation on May 29.
