Angelina Jolie Says Her Kids Value Their Privacy — and Reveals Which of Her 6 Is ‘Extremely Private’

Angelina Jolie’s kids tend to shy away from the spotlight.

The Oscar-winning actress, 49, shared in an interview with Good Morning America for her new film Maria that her six children — Maddox, 23 Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — prefer to be behind-the-scenes and revealed which of them is the most private.

“None of my children want to be in front of the camera [at] this time,” Jolie said in the Nov. 21 interview. “They’re quite private.” 

“Shiloh’s extremely private,” she added, before further explaining, “They weren’t born with privacy, right? So, I hope that they can have that as they grow old. So we’ll see.”

The Eternals star has echoed similar sentiments recently, telling E! News at the AFI premiere of Maria in Los Angeles in late October that she doesn't anticipate any of them becoming actors or wanting to be famous.

"No, I think they're especially shy, very private people," she told the outlet, adding, "They want to be private."

However, that doesn’t mean that her kids, whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt, haven’t dipped their toes into the entertainment industry. She noted on GMA that her sons Maddox and Pax, in particular, worked with her on the set of her latest movie.

“My boys were on set which was amazing,” Jolie recalled. “And all of my children suffered through my early opera singing in the house before I got kind of good, which was a nightmare.” 

The actress’ daughter Vivienne has also stepped into the entertainment world co-producing Broadway’s The Outsiders alongside her mom earlier this year. She also worked as an assistant on production — something Jolie told PEOPLE she took “very seriously.”

"She'll correct me," she shared in April. "She'll say, 'Didn't you read the memo? We have to do this. We have to go through this.’ "She's been a really tough assistant."

Jolie also noted to GMA that motherhood is the main focus of her life, and she loves being with her kids and supporting them throughout their various pursuits. 

"It's my happiness," Jolie said of motherhood. "You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters."

Maria releases in theaters on Nov. 27.
