'They’re better than me, because you want your children to be. Of course, I’m the mother, and hopefully that safe place for them and that stability. 

'But I’m also the one that they laugh at - and I see them taking over so many different aspects of our family.'

A source revealed, “Angelina desperately wanted the female lead in the movie ‘Silver Linings Playbook.’ It was a prime role with great dialogue, and Angelina campaigned hard for it. But once the director saw Jennifer’s audition, it was no contest. Jennifer blew her out of the water.”

Filmmaker David O. Russell revealed, "Quite frankly, (Lawrence's audition) was like a formality. I didn't think she was really a contender. We had three very serious contenders (already). We had a lot of major actresses in town interested in the role, from Angelina Jolie to some other big stars, because it's a dimensional role for a young woman. Jennifer we frankly thought was too young."

David O. Russell explained why Jennifer got the role, “She kind of has an ageless quality. She could be 20, she could be 40.”

"But family is our highest priority. My wife even teaches classes at my kids' school on being a mom and being a wife."

Angelina told Entertainment Weekly magazine, “We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal, for Brad and I, at all. But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.”

Angelina Jolie's son Pax, who was 10 years old that time was scared of her costume.

She recalled, “When Pax saw me for the first time, he ran away and got upset - and I thought he was kidding, so I was pretending to chase him until I actually found him crying.”

Joan’s daughter Melissa agreed and said, “She was demystified!. She demystified herself and it’s unfortunate because it always looks so effortless, and you think how can one person be so glamorous? It’s because she practices!”.

Joan laughed and added, “Have you ever seen anybody stand with their hand on a hip with a leg thrown out to open an envelope? No".

“This is the first stupid move she’s made. She handles her own PR, career and it’s all been very thought out. She turned around from kissing her brother on the carpet to being a representative of the United Nations and she’s done it all.”

Angelina Jolie's kids think it will be coolest thing ever if their mom dated Drake

Drake posted a photo on the Instagram (2017) and tagged Angelina Jolie, with the caption, "stood me up" which left fans thinking whether there were something going on between them.

A source close to Angelina tells,“No, Angelina didn’t stand Drake up. There was no rendezvous planned, she doesn’t even know Drake! The first Angelina heard about the Instagram post was when Pax told her — him and Maddox are crazy about Drake’s music and they think he’s super cool. Angelina thought the post was hilarious and flattering, too — although Drake’s not her type, she does think he’s really handsome so she got a kick out of it. Maddox and Pax keep begging Angelina to reach out to Drake and meet up with him, because they think it would be the most awesome thing ever if their mom was dating Drake.”

“However, sadly for the boys, it’s just not going to happe. Angelina doesn’t want to date anyone right now and if she did, she would want a low profile relationship out of the spotlight. So, Maddox and Pax have to settle for just teasing their mom instead, which they’re doing non-stop — Maddox even secretly changed Angelina’s cellphone ring to ‘Hotline Bling,’ and him and Pax are in stitches now every time she gets a call.”
