Angelina Jolie joined four of her six children as they watched the US Election results in a captivating image from her new British Vogue shoot.
Taken at her $25 million Los Angeles home last November, the actress, 45, looked radiant as she witnessed the event unfold alongside Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
The screen star – who also shares sons Maddox, 19, and Pax, 17, with ex Brad Pitt – shared her positive outlook towards the next few years as she said: ‘Well, I put a lot of my hopes for the future on the younger generation.

‘Maybe that’s because I live with six kids, aged 12 to 19, so I see that particular group – and I certainly see how much more pressure they are under than we were at their age. They’re overwhelmed with a lot of information that we were sheltered from.
‘But I see Mad online speaking in Russian to someone or talking to Korea, or Shi saying hi to her friends in Namibia, I see there’s this new way young people can connect and know each other in this global way. It’s how they’ll start to solve our problems.’
Democratic Party’s Joe Biden and Kamala Harris defeated the Republican Party ticket of then-president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence following an epic four-day election.
Opting for a sophisticated appearance, the filmmaker wore a plain grey jumper and a maxi skirt, while her kids were dressed in casual outfits.

Elsewhere in the interview for the publication’s March edition, the thespian declared she is focused on ‘healing our family’ after struggling through a ‘pretty hard few years’ amid her bitter divorce from Brad, 57.
The Tom Raider icon admitted she is still dealing with the fallout from her 2016 split from the actor, but said she finally feels as though her happiness is ‘slowly coming back’.
Angelina gave a rare insight into how her life has changed since the end of their romance as she featured in cosy images at her mansion – which she says she bought as it is just five minutes away from the Ocean’s Eleven star’s house.
‘I wanted it to be close to their dad, who is only five minutes away,’ the TV and film star said of the sprawling property, which was once owned by late director Cecil B DeMille.

The humanitarian has been single ever since they separated in September 2016, following two years of marriage and a 12-year relationship.
The exes are said to be ‘in a better place’ after battling over finances and the custody of their children.
The Girl, Interrupted star shared: ‘The past few years have been pretty hard. I’ve been focusing on healing our family. It’s slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body.
‘I’m looking forward to my fifties – I feel that I’m gonna hit my stride in my fifties. Though we were on the trampoline the other day, and the children said, ”No, Mom, don’t do that. You’ll hurt yourself.” And I thought, ”God, isn’t that funny?”

‘There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline because I’ll hurt myself.’
The Unbroken star also touched on her role as the special envoy from the UN Refugee Agency.
Angelina said: ‘I started in my early twenties, putting on my boots and backpack, and going out to try and figure out what the hell was going on in the world.
‘I tried to give myself a broader education than I’d had at school. I grew up in a very empty place, in many ways, so had to go to find a wider understanding.’

The Maleficent actress first took on her humanitarian duties following her trip to Cambodia for Tomb Raider back in 2000.
She visited the Asian country – where she met and subsequently adopted Maddox with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton – for a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) field mission.
The TV and film star later travelled to Pakistan, where she donated $1 million (£821,980) in response to an emergency appeal.
Angelina – who co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative nine years ago – has since taken a hands-on approach in promoting a number of causes, including education, women’s rights and conservation.
