Is Angelina Jolie retiring soon?

Maleficent star Angelina Jolie is dropping hints she will retire from acting after her next big project, a biopic of Cleopatra. Calling her the “Sopia Loren of our generation,” The Guardian reported the star may move on to concentrate on being a director and UN ambassador. Speaking about her role as the Queen of the Nile on BBC Radio, Jolie said “It’s one of those that you think maybe that’s the one you put everything into and that’s where you end it, that’s where you finish – in a great way. What could you do beyond that one?” Last month, at a press conference for Maleficent, Jolie also said she wanted to do other things. “I’m sure there will be more films but I am happy I am able to be selective and have fun with characters like this but I would like to focus on writing and directing and above all I would like to focus more on my work with the UN.” Jolie’s second film as a director, the biopic Unbroken, will be released in the US in December.
