Angelina Jolie: Mom Let Me Move Boy In At 14, We ‘Lived Like A Married Couple’

In a beautiful memorial interview about her late mother, Angelina Jolie inadvertently dropped a bombshell: At just 14-years-old, her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, allowed the future A-lister to shack up with a boy "like a married couple" under her roof.
Jolie, who's spent the past few weeks in the U.K., sat down with The Sun's Garth Pearce to pay homage to Bertrand, who died in January 2007 at just 56 after a seven-year fight with cancer.
The tidbit came out when the Tomb Raider star explained how her mother's liberal ways actually kept her sheltered from much worse elements a young girl could fall into.

"One of my boyfriends lived with me at my [mother's] house when I was just 14," Jolie told the Sun. "It was the smartest thing my mother could have done because, this way, we weren't hanging out in a park together.
"We lived like a married couple for two years. By the time I was 16, I wanted my freedom and wanted to focus on work.”
She said following that relationship, she graduated from high school early and began working, as she wouldn't date anyone until meeting her next serious love, Trainspotting star Jonny Lee Miller, three years later.

Jolie, who has six kids -- Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne -- said she wants her brood "to appreciate how fortunate they are in life, compared with so many people who have nothing.
"If anybody ever tells me that I am a mother to them like my [mother's] was to me, it will be a great compliment."

LOL! It's hilarious how bohemian nonconformists can irritate the hell out of angry nitwits,
provincial grannies, etc., it's a story as old as the hills.

The way they have all sorts of huge houses all around the world and how they avoid their kids having friends and they school them all over the world and travel all over the world so no one will know half of what they do to their kids...

In 4 years will she allow Maddox to move a girlfriend into the house??? I think there are laws today that will prevent that.

it will be interesting how Angelina handles all her kids when they hit the teens..I am sure they already know all about sex and what can she say? She isnt married to their dad so sex really has no meaning to them its just an urge to satisfy

This is a common attitude toward teens and sex in many european countries and the rate of teen
pregnancies and abortion are dramatically lower that in the U.S.

Actually, the rates are higher in Europe.

I doubt that they are dramatically lower BECAUSE of that....it would encourage promiscuity which was one of Angelinas problems..way way too young to start with that stuff if avoidable.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but this is borderline child neglect.
