Lara
Croft Tomb Raider heroine Angelina Jolie has adopted
a Cambodian baby-boy in Africa less than twelve
months after her induction as goodwill ambassador
for the United Nation High Commission for Refugees.
Jolie’s
father, former Oscar-winner actor Jon Voight,
made the shock revelation to a stunned press while
attending the annual Oscar nominees lunch at the
Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. "Angelina has just
got a baby yesterday, a Cambodian baby boy. So
I'm a grandpa." Voight announced in Los Angeles
on Monday. "I don't know much about it but I would
be willing to go over and babysit."
Angelina
Jolie, who wed film star, singer and director
Billy Bob Thornton last year, has named the 7-1/2
month-old boy Maddox and will raise him in the
United States. "We are very grateful to have him
in our lives," the two said in a joint statement
earlier today.
Jolie
will remain in Cambodia for the next two months
to conclude shooting the Martin Campbell helmed
international feature film Beyond Borders with
British co-star Clive Owen. Beyond Borders is
a love story between an American named Sarah Jordan
(Jolie) and British doctor Nick Ward (Owen). The
story takes place during the course of many years
and is set against the backdrop of worldwide humanitarian
efforts.
