Why did Angelina Jolie choose Maddox out of the hundreds of orphaned babies in Cambodia?

Angelina Jolie was filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia in 2000 and she fell in love with the place. That makes her why she wanted to adopt a baby from there.

Angelina Jolie's former right-hand man in Cambodia, Sarath, who helped Jolie through Maddox's adoption, tells DailyMail.com on why Jolie choose Maddox, "There are a lot of children in the world that need good care, need a better life. By that time, she wanted to be a mother, but thought it was better to be a mother to some baby who desperately needs good care".

"That's why she decided on Maddox rather than a biological baby. That's what I heard from her, we talked about everything".

"He was clever, sharp, smart, a lovely kid, who smiled at people more than any of the other babies. I always remember his smiley face".

"As far as I understand from her, when she visited the place [orphanage] and saw Maddox, he smiled at her and got up, instead of crying like all the other babies".

"He was smiling right at her, it touched her heart, that's why she chose Maddox."

Then he continue, "Cambodian people, we were proud and happy for him growing up in such a high class life. Many others in the population don't get that chance. We'd love him to go back and understand his culture".

"She was planning to return as much as possible, it was going to be the second home for Maddox".

"He grew up in a modern life, if he could make a contribution back to his own people, that would be very nice. If he could learn about his heritage and culture, how he came to be in the orphanage - a horrifying part to his early life".

"He could have turned out to be a street kid, a lot of them fall through the net and go out into drug addiction, glue sniffing. The orphanage system in Cambodia is not well managed, a lot of the kids are not protected, donor money only goes so far, and the government doesn't do anything".

"He is a lucky boy compared to many, many in Cambodia. It would be nice for him to come back and help the community".

Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder were not close eventhough they acted in same movie, Girl, Interrupted

Angelina Jolie won her first Academy Award for this movie, "Girl, Interrupted".

Winona Ryder was initially offered for Angelina Jolie's character Lisa but she rejected, saying, "At one point they asked if I wanted to play Lisa and I said, 'No, I want to be Susanna.'" 

"There was no resentment. When it came out, people almost felt bad for me. But I expected it all along. I was really happy with the film and really proud of it." 

"At the time I worked with her, she was battling her looks because she's so beautiful. She wanted very much to be taken seriously and not just judged on her looks. And she conquered that."

Ryder was not happy because of Jolie's coldness towards her. Ryder explained, "I remember thinking, 'Oh we're going to turn out to be great friends."

"But I think she needed to be able to look at me just as the character Susanna, not as Winona, so in a very respectful way she just kind of kept her distance." 

Angelina Jolie thought Tomb Raider character was about brawn and bre*sts before accepting the role

Angelina Jolie was a bit skeptical before accepted the role for Lara Croft. She explained,  "I thought it was the craziest thing I ever heard. I mean, I was flattered, but I thought it was ridiculous. I don't like video games. My ex husband (Trainspotting(1996)'s Jonny Lee Miller) used to play 'Tomb Raider. ' I would walk by him and say, 'Oh, look at her bre*asts. '"

"But then I met with the director and he told me it wouldn't be campy or stupid. I realized it was a real movie with a solid character."

It wasn't easy for her to build muscle. She explained, "Getting some solid muscle mass wasn't easy".

"It was two and a half months of tough training. I had just wrapped a period piece (August's Original Sin (2000)) and I was drinking wine and smoking cigarettes and having a great time."

"Then I got to the 'Tomb Raider' set and the great adventure began. They had me on bunjis. I'm dog sledding. They had me up at seven each morning and handed me a protein shake. Suddenly, a nutritionist was giving me five meals a day." 

"But you had to do these things to maintain your energy. And I liked the intense training because there is only one way to do something and for me it's in extremes."
