Angelina Jolie Says She Plans to Fade Away From Acting

Angelina Jolie tells the BBC that she's ready to give up acting to be a grandmother. Yes, that's what she said.

"I don't plan to keep acting very long. I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity.

"I like being home a lot. First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they're growing right and they've got us there for them.... I don't think I'll ever say I'm never, ever gonna work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative."

"I don't plan to keep acting very long, I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day...So maybe it will be once a year and then maybe it will be once every three years, and then just naturally -- I like being home a lot these days."

She didn't say she was quitting with a Joaquin Phoenix like pronouncement. In fact she made it clear that she'd keep acting if a role interested her. Angelina is 34 and has six kids.
