Angelina has vowed she’s relinquishing her famous acting career to be a mother to her children, and she wants to spend more time with the kids as they approach their teenage years. Keep reading for all the scoop!

Just like her 48-year-old fiancé, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie is giving up her A-list acting career, as the actress vows to spend more time at home to mother her growing children.

Why Angelina’s Quitting Acting

“I think I’m going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home,” she revealed to Britain’s Channel 4 News. “I have enjoyed being an actress. I am so grateful to the job and I have had great experiences and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered and I have done things for fun, but…”

Similar to Brad, who’s previously stated he could see himself behind the camera to direct, once he hits 50, Angie added: “…if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children. I wake up in the morning as a mum and I turn on the news like everybody else and I see what’s happening and I want to be part of the world in a positive way.”

Brad and Angie are the proud parents of their six children – Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and twins Knox and Vivienne, four.

But before we have to get used to not seeing the 37-year-old actress star in new films, she’ll be starring in the Sleeping Beauty revamp Maleficent, scheduled to hit the screen in 2014.

Chime in, HollywoodLifers. Will you miss seeing Angelina acting?

Good, don’t come back. She is God awful anyway and had so much plastic surgery she’s bound to cave in. Her mental state is so off balance, and we don’t need to see her having sex with horses.

Huh??? It doesn´t sound like she is ¨vowing¨ to quit acting at all. And Brad has not quit in the least. He just made a movie and she is about to make a movie. What´s the deal with this article?

PLEASE…PLEASE…DO!!!! Can’t wait to see her ugly persona out of hollywood. She named her and Brad as the king and queen of hollywood and that’s was a farce. Normal people don’t idolize adulterers with sick and twisted egos. Then to boot their fake charity acts when the camera was looking. Can’t wait for those inglorious bestards to be teens and read the truth about their parents.

Whether Angelina quit acting, it is going to be very hard to take, Jennifer Aniston rug will be snatched from under her. Jennifer would be instantly lost even more than she is. You think Jennifer is pathethic now, wait she want have any pity party to talk about to the magazines and she want have a coattail to ride. I say good for you Angelina, you see everything is falling in place for the tabloids, Jennifer and justin, soon you will see just what jealousy and hate will do.

Considering little kids look for their parents, and teenagers would rather be alone or with friends — Angie you may have your work schedule backwards!

Are u kidding me! As soon as someone offers her a role that is juicy and challening you’ll see Jolie coming out of retirement no matter whather promise is to the children; as admirable as that might be. Remember, the children wanted her to marry their father Brad Pitt and she still has not forfilled that promise, so I would hold out on her un official retirement plans.

I know you why you say good riddance, I say the same thing because hate take front row in you life with people you do not know. I say good riddance because Jennifer and Justin will be the tabloids hound to bad mouth, but they will become invisible and more pathethic. When Angelina do walk away I truly understand and will be absolutely happy

it doesn’t sound like she’s quitting. it sounds like she’s trying to let the world know she thinks it’s important for her to be around for her kids. she should be spending time with her kids now. it’s hard enough for kids of big families to get enough parent time, throw in their hectic work/travel schedules… it’s not good. yes, she should quit. the action films she specializes in are not important to the world. do enough to maintain the lifestyle, if necessary, but quit… or move into modeling/ad campaigning or something less demanding of time. kids need mom to be around, and dad- of course.
