Angelina Jolie is ready to start acting again

Angelina Jolie says she’s nearly ready to return to acting after taking time off due to her dramatic split with Brad Pitt.

Jolie screened her latest film as a director, “First They Killed My Father,” at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, where she said during a Q&A: “Right now, I don’t have anything to direct that I feel passionate about like this, so I’ll do some acting. I’ve taken over a year off now, because of my family situation, to take care of my kids.”

She added, “When I feel it’s time for me to go back to work, I’ll be able to go back to work. I’ve been needed at home. I hope [to work again] in the months to come.”
