Parenting? It's a walk in the park: Angelina Jolie takes four of her six children for a day out while father Brad is at hard at work

By Marcus Barnes





They're probably quite a handful so you have to give Angelina Jolie some brownie points for managing to keep a handle on her brood of children.



The Hollywood actress, 37, took four of her six offspring to a park in Glasgow for some play time while their father Brad Pitt continued work on his new movie World War Z.



Angelina Jolie was accompanied by a female who appeared to be a nanny as well as a male associate likely to be a bodyguard.

The actress took Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and twins Vivien and Knox, three, for a spot of fun and games in the grassy area - perhaps because they grew a little restless while at their hotel.



Notably absent from the pictures are Pax and Maddox, the elder boys, who may well have opted out of the day trip to spend time playing computer games or something a little more mature.



Angelina's outfit was par for the course for the actress, wearing her much favoured colour black from top to toe.



Her outfit consisted of a black sweater, black jeans and black knee-high Wellington style boots.

Assistance: While Angelina is no doubt a capable mother, with six children to care for it's unsurprising that she has a nanny to help out





Her female companion wore a black and white striped pullover with blue jeans and black UGG boots.



Meanwhile the children were suitably dressed for the lukewarm temperatures in the Scottish city, where it is currently 17 degrees centigrade.



Zahara was dressed in a black duffle coat with a fur-lined hood - underneath she had a navy top, black jeans and colourful, patterned wellies.



Shiloh wore a red zip up fleece with a striped blue over a white top, khaki coloured trousers and traditional green wellies.



Come on! Zahara appears to shout during the childrens' mini adventure

Meanwhile the twins Know and Vivien were wrapped up in their own individual outfits - Vivien in a pink top, with black jeans and matching pink boots.



Knox on the other hand had a duffle coat on similar to Zahara's with beige bottoms and green boots covered with a colourful pattern.



The family are in Scotland where father Brad Pitt is shooting scenes for his latest movie project World War Z.

And the film has become a big event in Glasgow with whole districts being shut off while the crew transform the Scottish city into Philadelphia.



Today a whole area of the city was shut down as the action scenes began to take shape.



A stunt involving a dustbin truck smashing through rows of traffic was shot in the centre of Glasgow, shutting down the whole road were the scene took place.



Yesterday Brad, 47, was seen taking a break from filming accompanied by the pretty brunette who is likely to be a set manager.



Of course, his partner Angelina Jolie will have little to worry about - the dynamic between the actor and his on-set companion is nothing more than a professional working relationship.

A threat?: How will Angelina Jolie react to Brad's close working relationship with the pretty lady?





However her beauty could well cause a slight bit of jealousy on Angelina's part, which is only natural for any man or woman whose partner works closely with an attractive member of the opposite sex.



Glasgow is the latest city to undergo an amazing transformation thanks to the new zombie thriller.



Film staff have so far managed to transform Valletta, in Malta, and Falmouth, in Cornwall, into a world dealing with the aftermath of a global zombie war for the same film.



And this week these post-apocalyptic scenes have come to Glasgow, as Brad Pitt and his crew bring the living dead to the Scottish city.

And Brad, 47, was right in the thick of it all as he chatted to his crew and watched as the streets were turned into the U.S. city.



Transformed: Glasgow has undergone a complete makeover to look like Philadelphia where there movie is set





Cochrane Street has been renamed John F Kennedy Boulevard and American road signs and street names were put up while yellow taxi cabs and white police cars lined the streets as Philadelphia came to life.



Glasgow was chosen to double as the Pennsylvanian city because of the huge similarities between them including the architecture, wide roads and grid layout of the cities.



Local people have been recruited as zombie extras and Glasgow City Council said the production will involve almost 1,200 people and the impact on local economy is expected to be more than £2 million.

Just the two of us: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt leave their brood at home as they head out for a romantic lunch in London

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Just the two of us: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted enjoying a romantic lunch together without the company of their children at London's Dorchester Hotel

They are in the UK with their six children while Brad Pitt works on his new movie World War Z.

But, after spending some time with their ever-expanding brood, Brad and partner Angelina Jolie decided to leave the kids at their rented London home so they could enjoy a romantic lunch together at London's Dorchester Hotel.

While Brad looked smart in a pair of beige trousers and white shirt, Angelina went for a classic look in her white long-sleeved T-shirt, taupe pencil skirt and beige Lanvin patent espadrille wedges.


Quick entrance: The pair made a dash into the famous hotel where they enjoyed a meal together


Despite the fact the pair have both been spotted out and about in London separately over the past few weeks, it's the first time they have been seen together since late June.

And while Brad works hard on his new movie, adapted from the novel by Max Brooks, Angelina has certainly been enjoying keeping herself and her brood busy.

This morning, Angelina braved the unseasonably cool morning to take her three-year-old daughter Vivienne to Streets Florist in Richmond.

The 36-year-old sneaked into the shop all in black and hid under her oversized aviator sunglasses as she carried her Louis Vuitton bag and held onto Vivienne’s hand.


Low profile: Earlier in the day, Angelina was spotted trying to go incognito in a florist shop in Richmond in an all black ensemble and oversized sunglasses


But despite trying to blend in and subtly pick out some flowers, the florist shop owner and fellow onlookers were shocked at the famous customer.

Shop owner Mark Nunez told MailOnline: ‘She bought calillies, roses and thistles and altogether bought two bunches of flowers, a gift bag and some gift cards.

'Everyone in the shop was pretty shocked when she walked in but she didn’t say anything about who the flowers were for.’


Shocked onlookers: Local residents in Richmond weren't expecting Hollywood star Angelina Jolie to stroll into the florist


Angelina held one bunch and Vivienne held the other as they soon left Streets and headed back to their car.

The Tourist star is currently in the capital with her brood including Vivienne’s twin brother Knox, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five.

The day before, she had taken her children to a cinema in Richmond for a private screening of the new Harry Potter film.

She was again wearing a signature black ensemble and shades, alongside her classic Louis Vuitton bag.


Gift pack: Angelina didn't say who the flowers were for but she bought two bunches and a pack of gift cards from the shop


The film, which is rated PG-13, is said to contain some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images.

Yet care-free parent Angelina still took the whole family to watch the action-packed film.

As the family left the theatre after watching the movie a small crowd gathered and local police came to their assistance at they piled into a waiting mini-van.

Pax, nine, couldn't help but show his cheeky side, sticking his tongue out at the onlookers while wrestling with his older brother Maddox as they climbed into the car.

Angelina and the children flew into London from Los Angeles airport on Thursday and had previously also flown to Malta while Brad was filming scenes there.

Little Shiloh puts her mother Angelina Jolie in the shade with her cool sunglasses

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday

As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.

But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.

The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.

Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.



Star in the making? Shiloh looked rather chuffed with her green shutter shades


It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.

The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.

Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.

The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.

They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.


Carry on: Zahara opted not to wear her white sunglasses


In keeping up with her daughters, the 36-year-old actress wore a classic pair of aviator sunglasses.

The Tourist star also wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and nude pumps while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.

Of course, it is no surprise the star was carrying the designer luggage - she recently starred in a Louis Vuitton 'Core values' ad campaign which she shot in Cambodia.

The ads are set to run for 18 months and will feature other celebrity humanitarians like Bono and his wife Ali Hewson, the founder of fashion line EDUN.

Girls, Uninterrupted: Angelina Jolie beams with delight as her daughters Shiloh and Zahara skip along during a shopping trip

By Daily Mail Reporter


Playful: Angelina Jolie takes her girls Shiloh and Zahara shopping in LA


Who needs the boys? From the beams on their faces, Angelina Jolie and daughters Shiloh and Zahara weren't missing the men in their lives much.

The Tomb Raider actress smiled as her two girls skipped playfully in the street during a shopping trip in sunny LA.

Little Vivienne was the only female of the Jolie-Pitt clan missing, but it was a testosterone-free day without Brad, Maddox, Pax or Knox.

Little early for Halloween? Scruffy Shiloh carries a devil fork and cuddly toys


Dressed in her trademark favourite colour black, Angelina wore a loose sweatshirt and resembled any ordinary mother with her hair scraped back and carrying the shopping bags.

The trio visited vintage clothing and costume shop Ozzie Dots, with Shiloh holding a devil fork - despite it being a little early for Halloween.

While six-year-old Zahara dashed around in jeans and a girly vest top, her younger sister was dressed in her typical tomboy attire.

The blonde five-year-old wore baggy shorts and a shirt to match, sporting some bruises or dirt on her legs.

But the Oscar-winner is used to her rugrats roughing it, admitting her sons got hooked on eating insects during a recent trip to Cambodia.

She said: 'My boys love to eat crickets. It’s their favourite thing.

'When I first gave it to them... I wanted them to not be turned-off by something that wasn’t (part of) their culture.

'So I bought them... and they ate them like Doritos.

'And they wouldn’t stop and they brought to-go boxes home.

'And then I had to actually ban the cricket-eating at a certain point because I was afraid they were going to get sick from eating too many… But they’re good!'

Angelina met partner Brad Pitt on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2005, with the couple now boasting a brood of six.

Their eldest Maddox, now nine, was adopted from Cambodia in 2002 by Angelina as a single parent - despite still being married to then-husband Billy Bob Thornton.

She later adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005, also as a solo parent, before Brad applied to be their legal father too.

In May 2006, their first biological child Shiloh came along, followed swiftly by the adoption of their Vietnamese son Pax.

The final addition to the team arrived in July 2008, with the birth of biological twins Knox and Vivienne, named after Jolie's mother.

High spirits: Angelina carried shopping bags as her daughters entertained her

Bonding: The girls can't stop smiling during a day trip without the boys


The 36-year-old is thrilled with how easily she has taken to motherhood.

Angelina said: 'It’s been one of the great surprises of my life.

'When I was younger I never imagined being a mother and then those maternal feelings really evolved and deepened once I began adopting and started living with Brad, which made me want to have children of our own.

'I feel truly at ease when I know I’ve helped give them a safe and hopeful life.

'A big family can generate a lot of chaos, but it’s also a source of inner peace - the best feeling in the world.

'I’m much less anxious about life and so much more light-hearted and carefree.'

Knox the ladybird and princess Vivienne: Angelina's twins have a Jolie good time dressing up in playful tutus

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Fancy dress: Angelina Jolie took her brood, including daughter Vivienne and son Knox, to an indoor play park in Malta yesterday


It seems Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins have inherited their parents flair for theatrics.

The two-year-olds were spotted acting up in fancy dress costumes while on an outing with their famous mother and siblings.

Knox opted for a playful ladybird costume - complete with a bright tutu - while his sister Vivienne wore a pink princess outfit for a trip to an indoor play park.

Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five, also joined in the fun and were spotted leaving the venue with toys in tow.

The globe-trotting family are currently in Malta while Brad Pitt films the zombie movie, World War Z.

Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 36, have rented a $11 million mansion in the Qrendi area of the island, according to Us Weekly magazine.

On Tuesday night the pair slipped off for a romantic date night at the Trattoria Da Pippo in the nearby town of Valetta.

Family fun: Pax, Shiloh and Maddox also joined in


Later this week, Angelina will jet off to Turkey to visit Syrian refugees as well as the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

Jolie will arrive in Istanbul on Friday and make her way to Hatay where more than 8,000 Syrians have fled to escape violence.

At least 8,000 Syrians have fled to Turkey to escape a crackdown on an anti-government uprising.


Hard at work: Brad Pitt and Robert Richardson filming in St Dominic Street, Valletta, Malta


In April, Jolie travelled to Tunisia during its refugee crisis as thousands fled from its war-torn neighbour, Libya.

While Jolie has been caring for the couple's children, Pitt has been hard at work.

Along with Robert Richardson he was spotted on St Dominic Street, Valletta filming a scene with two zombies, a dozen soldiers and lots of extras running and screaming all over the place.

Relaxed Angelina Jolie sucks on a lollipop as she goes on a romantic shopping date with Brad Pitt

By Daily Mail Reporter


Time out: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enjoyed some rare time out today as they went for a stroll down a Hollywood street after visiting Ozzie Dots, a popular party and costume shop


She has been busy endorsing her new movie Kung Fu Panda II and supporting partner Brad Pitt on the red-carpet as he promotes his own film, Tree Of Life.

But today, the 35-year-old found some time to relax enjoying a casual and romantic shopping trip with her handsome beau.

Merely enjoying some quiet time together, the mega stars were spotted strolling down a Hollywood street arm-in-arm after visiting Ozzie Dots, a popular party and costume shop, where the couple were picking up some party favours.


Sucking on a lollipop, one of the world's most photographed woman was relaxed and all smiles as she lovingly wrapped her arm around Brad's waist.

The couple were both dressed in casual clothes for the outing.

Angelina slipped her tiny frame into a pair of black trousers and black cardigan and acessorised with a Louis Vuitton handbag and a pair of her favourite aviator shades.

In a matching pair of glasses, Brad also went low-key for the outing, in a pair of baggy grey trousers, trainers and a charcoal bomber.

Their quiet time together comes after a big week of promotional touring for the busy couple, including red-carpet events for both Angelina's new animation film Kung Fu Panda II, and Brad's art house flick Tree Of Life.

Last night Brad arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie sporting a clean-shaven look, much to the delight of Angelina.

Cuddling up to her beau on the red carpet, she was clearly smitten.

The actress turned heads in an asymmetrical red Jenny Packham dress, which set off her stunning features and glowing skin.

However, the cut of the outfit did little to hide the Hollywood star's razor sharp, jutting collar bone.

Angelina decided to go to Brad's Los Angeles event over the New York premiere of her own animated film.

She did attend the Hollywood red carpet for the flick over the weekend, along with Brad and their brood.

But she left the promotional duties to co-stars Jack Black and Lucy Liu yesterday in favour of Brad's big night.

In the film, Pitt plays a strict father of three sons being raised in 1950s suburbia.

His son Jack is played by Sean Penn, who looks back on his childhood from adulthood. Chastain plays the mother in the film.

The art house movie, which Pitt funded, produced and starred in, received a decidedly mixed reception when it was shown to the press in Cannes.

At a press conference afterwards Pitt was left to answer questions by the absent director Malick, to the obvious annoyance of the crowd.

Critics were divided by the movie and Pitt was actually booed following the screening in Cannes.

Daily Mail critic Baz Bamigboye wrote: 'The film's not a flop by any means. It's a visual sensation.'

But he cautioned: 'It's not the worst movie ever made but it is a lumbering mess.'

Elsewhere the industry bible Variety predicted: 'This inescapably divisive picture could captivate the zeitgeist for a spell.'

The Hollywood Reporter added: 'A unique film that will split opinions every which way.'

Meanwhile, Brad has said being a father has influenced what kind of films he chooses to make.

He told The Sun: 'Becoming a father certainly changed the way I choose films because I'm very aware they are going to see them one day.

'I want them to be proud of their dad in the end, when they grow up and figure out what we actually do for a living.'

Brad also said making The Tree Of Life made him appreciate his family life even more.

He said: 'It's so obvious to me that when I come home my kids are aware of everything that's going on. So it's quite important for me not to put my frustrations on them or bring them to the door. In the film it's the exact opposite of that.

'It's a very sad man who feels embittered by his situation, doesn't feel like he's able to get ahead, always feels like he's on the losing end and feels quite oppressed by his surroundings and predicament.'
