Angelina Jolie wants to put on 15lb

The Tomb Raider star answers your email questions and reveals her secrets

How has being a mum changed you?
Orla Knightley, Camden

I have four children now [Maddox, five, Pax, three, Zahara, two, and Shiloh, who turns one on 27 May] – and caring for them is the most important thing for me.

It’s made me more mature. I’ve learnt to accept responsibility for myself, my children and my partner [Brad Pitt]. It’s made me feel like a complete woman.

Does the constant attention from the paparazzi get to you?
Diane Grant, Hove

The only time it really affects me is when I’m outside with my kids. I hate to have to say to my son: ‘You can’t go to the park,’ when he really wants to go.

It’s all that kind of stuff that makes it difficult, but the rest of the time it’s just best to ignore all the attention – we just shut it off.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
Martin, Chelmsford

There was a brief time when I wanted to become a funeral director! I’ve always wanted to lead a fascinating life.

If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?
Paula Drage, Grantham

If I could snap my fingers and put on 15lb I’d be so happy, especially if it went to all the right places.

How do you juggle being a working mum?
Michelle Dale, Long Stratton

We take turns working so that one of us is always with the kids – Brad’s with the kids today while I’m doing this interview. We say that whoever has the film they love is the one who works. We pretty much think that the one who gets to stay at home is the lucky one.
