Angelina Jolie Nears 50, Prioritizing Motherhood and Cambodian Roots
A Life Dedicated to Family, Humanity, and Artistic Endeavors
by George David 3 June 2025
As Angelina Jolie approaches her 50th birthday next year, her life continues to be profoundly shaped by her role as a mother and her deep, enduring connection to Cambodia. The renowned actress and humanitarian consistently emphasizes that her six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox—are her utmost priority. She views motherhood not merely as a commitment, but as the foundational aspect of her existence, influencing every decision she makes. With her children reaching significant milestones, such as Zahara entering college and Shiloh transitioning into adulthood, Jolie remains dedicated to guiding them while fostering their individual paths.
Cambodia holds an especially profound place in Jolie’s personal and family narrative, serving as a cornerstone of their shared identity. Her eldest son, Maddox, was born there, and Jolie herself holds Cambodian citizenship, reflecting her deep bond with the nation. Her extensive humanitarian work in the country includes the establishment of the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, dedicated to conservation and community development. This connection also inspired her to direct the critically acclaimed 2017 film “First They Killed My Father,” which portrayed the devastating Khmer Rouge regime. Jolie consistently articulates her desire to provide her children with a sense of global belonging and roots, encouraging them to understand their diverse heritage. This commitment aligns with her broader shift away from conventional Hollywood acting, as she increasingly dedicates her energies to human rights advocacy and her work with the United Nations. While her acting career continues, it is now primarily focused on projects that hold significant artistic or social meaning, such as her role in the upcoming film “Maria,” where she portrays the iconic opera singer Maria Callas. Further extending her engagement with purposeful ventures, Jolie also launched Atelier Jolie, a fashion brand rooted in principles of sustainability and ethical craftsmanship. Ultimately, her life philosophy remains centered on her children and a broader commitment to humanity, guiding both her personal choices and professional endeavors.
