“All the kids are learning different languages,” she said. “I asked them what languages they wanted to learn and Shi is learning Khmai, which is a Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, Z is speaking French, Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic, and Knox is learning sign language.”
“I suppose that just means you don’t know who your children are until they show you who they are and they are just becoming whoever they want to be,” she added.
Jolie Pitt also opened up about her children’s passions, revealing that none of them are planning on becoming actors like their parents, Us Weekly reports.
“None of my kids want to be actors,” the actress explained. “They are actually very interested in being musicians. I think they like the process of film from the outside. Mad is interested in editing. Pax loves music and deejaying.”
Jolie Pitt also used her time on the program to talk about her experiences as a Special Envoy for the United Nations as well as women’s health issues, reflecting on her decisions to have a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 and to have her ovaries removed in 2015.
“It means a great deal to me,” she said of the conversation surrounding her surgeries. “If there is even one woman out there who went and got checked and found that she had cancer or she was positive and she caught something in time, and if in any small way I was a part of that, it makes me very emotional.”
