Angelina Jolie is one proud momma!
On Monday, at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the actress was joined by five of her six children: 15-year-old Pax, 14-year-old Zahara, 13-year-old Shiloh, and 11-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.
Of course, 18-year-old son Maddox is currently a freshman at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

In an interview with ET‘s Nischelle Turner on the red carpet, the 44-year-old could not help but gush about her brood.
The leading lady dished:
“They wrangle me… Honestly, they’re more together [than I am]. Zahara’s the most organized in the family.”
Speaking of Zahara — who wore a black dress just like her mom — Angie continued:
“Isn’t she gorgeous?… She’s growing up so beautifully.”
The thespian added:
“It’s just so wonderful to have their [support]… They’re my friends.”
Jolie also reflected on her younger self, who 20 years ago — at the age of 24 — won an Oscar for her role in the 1999 flick, Girl, Interrupted.
“Maybe it’s 20 years on in your life, and you kind of circle back to that girl… Your kids are teens. My son is closer to that age [than I am now]… and so all the things I love about that girl, I’m seeing in the spirit of them, and it’s helping me return to myself a little bit.”
In regards to returning to her character in the highly-anticipated sequel, Angelina credits the costume — which makes her feel “powerful” and “quite elegant.”
“I think because she was created at a time when there were those old-time movie stars, she was made to be a bit like those old-fashioned, classic [stars]… She’s a bit delicious. I encourage everyone to put on some horns and feel what it’s like.”

Last month, in an interview with Hello!, Jolie revealed what values she hopes to pass onto her kids. She said:
“Kindness – to others and themselves. It’s important to be humble – know the freedoms you have and what you’ve been blessed with and make sure you help others. And always remember your place – we’re all human and very flawed. We’re tiny pieces in a much bigger world.”
While she wants them to be “kind and gracious,” she also hopes they “fight” for what they believe in.
“As they grow up, I find my children are strong individuals but still open-minded. I try to lead by example and be kind and gracious, as my mother was – and loving and tolerant. But when there’s a fight that needs to be had, get in there. We need to prepare the next generation because there’s so much happening in the world – they’re up against it. I’m working on a program for children with the BBC. We’re counting on our children so we must give them the right knowledge and support.”
