Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she expects to give up acting in favour of her humanitarian work and bringing up her family.

The Hollywood star told Channel 4 News that she had found her work on behalf of rape victims in Syria more rewarding and time-consuming that acting.

Asked if she thought she might give up acting, she replied: ""Of course. I think I'm going to have to give up acting as kids hit the teenage years because there is going to be too much to manage at home.

"But I have enjoyed being an actress... I will do some films. I'm so fortunate to have the job. It's a very lucky profession to be in.

"But If it went away tomorrow, I would be very happy to be at home with my children."

The 37-year-old star has been working as a special envoy for the UN - and says she hopes to spend more time on the role.

"I wake up in the morning and turn on the TV like everyone else and I see what is happening in the world," she continued.

"I want to be a part of the world in a positive way."

Perhaps she won't be in the Fifty Shades Of Grey adaptation after all then.
