Angelina Jolie struggled to control her emotions at a press conference in London last night.

The actress was promoting her new movie The Changeling when she opened up about her late mum Marcheline Bertrand, who died from cancer last year.

‘She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn't swear to save her life,’ she said.

‘But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story.

'She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength through just knowing what was right.’

Ange, 33, has twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, 4 months, daughter Shiloh, 2, and adopted kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3, with partner Brad Pitt, 44.

The Changeling, in which she plays a mum desperately trying to find her kidnapped son, is out on 26 November.
