She also marvelled at how talented her children are – and resourceful at staying in touch with friends.

Angelina explained: “Maybe that’s because I live with six kids, aged 12 to 19, so I see that particular group – and I certainly see how much more pressure they are under than we were at their age.

“They’re quite overwhelmed with a lot of information that we were sheltered from.
