HOLLYWOOD -
Angelina Jolie is taking a long break from her film career to focus on caring for her four children.
The actress has just adopted Vietnamese orphan Pax Thien, 3, adding to her large brood with partner
Brad Pitt.
Jolie and Pitt are now full-time parents to four children under the age of five: Cambodian Maddox, 5; Ethiopian Zahara Marley, 2; and their sole biological child Shiloh Nouvel, 10 months.
Currently in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where she formally adopted Pax yesterday,
Jolie told local newspaper Ho Chi Minh City Law she was happy to be a full-time mother.
She says, "Now, I will stop making movies and will stay home to help Pax to get used to his new life.
"I have four children and taking care of the children is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother."
Despite her plans for time out,
Jolie recently signed on to play railroad executive Dagny Taggart in the big-screen version of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged.
