‘Nobody wants me to cook on Christmas Day!’ – Angelina Jolie, says hubby, Brad Pitt is in charge

Angelina Jolie has admitted she isn’t much in the kitchen… and isn’t allowed to make Christmas dinner on the biggest eating day of the year.

Speaking to Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain, the Hollywood star said: ‘Nobody in my house wants me to do any cooking on Christmas Day.’

The Maleficent star added: ‘I have no patience! I start things and then I get distracted and l go and I’ll start reading over there, or start playing outside with the kids.’

She then let on that it’s actually her long-term partner, father of her children and new husband, Brad Pitt who is the chef on Christmas Day.

‘I think you have to be very patient to cook, I’d be designated to the chopping board! Brad would be really good at the timing and organisation.’

The couple have already admitted they haven’t really thought much about what to get each other for Christmas as they have been concentrating on making sure their six children – Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – have an amazing time over the festive period.

The 39-year-old added to the morning TV presenter: ‘We travel a lot so I think it’s more what to do, what’s going to be the experience, where we’re going to go, or what we’re going to do, who we’re going to see, and I think they [the children] know. Mummy loves a stocking and I love a gift, we try our best not to spoil them so we try to be very balanced and calculating to not go too far.’

Although she may not be a dab hand at cooking a turkey or whipping up great roast potatoes, Angelina is currently in the midst of promoting her latest directorial effort Unbroken.

The hard-hitting film, which stars former Skins actor Jack O’Connell as the lead character, tells the story of Olympian Louis Zamperini who spends a harrowing 47 days in a raft with two fellow crewmen before he’s caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

It’s the third movie she has directed, and is hotly-tipped to receive an Academy Award nomination.
