Cambodian
officials have granted citizenship to Academy

Jolie in recognition of her work in the region
on behalf of UNHCR. Jolie, who filmed in Cambodia
while shooting Lara
Croft Tomb Raider, also adopted a baby boy

aid.
A legal
document seen by AFP
and signed by King Norodom Sihamoni "provides
Cambodian nationality to Angelina Jolie, an American
born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, USA."
Toun
Siphan, director of the government's international

she loves Cambodia and wants to help. She said
she would come to Cambodia when she received her
citizenship."
