Angelina Jolie gave an update on her family Thursday amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying, “We are all locked up, we are fine.”
The Oscar-winning actress and activist spoke to Felsenthal during the TIME 100: Finding Hope virtual summit, which brought together leading global leaders to discuss the new realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During his powerful segment with Hour Editor-in-chief, the actress described how the pandemic is affecting the world’s children, her work with refugees, and how to come together to overcome everything.
“I spent so many years working with refugees around the world,” he said. “Honestly, of course, it is annoying, but it has also taught me a lot about resilience, about family, about what life really is. I have seen people overcome insurmountable difficulties with so much grace and love. I believe in humanity. I have hope, I really believe we can afford to have no hope. As long as people know how to help and what to do, they will. “
The 44-year-old actress said that, like the rest of the world, she and her family have stayed home.
“We are all locked up, we are fine,” he said with a smile.
Jolie, who shares six children with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt: Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins, 11. Knox and Vivienne explained how being out of school due to the coronavirus pandemic has affected vulnerable children worldwide.
The actress explained that for children who suffer abuse, school is sometimes the only way they can escape from their abuser.
“And we know that domestic violence is on the rise worldwide because we are hearing horrible reports,” he said. “So inside the home it can be the most dangerous in the world for many people.”
“We should never have children around the world so vulnerable,” he added. “We should never be in that state … This is a time of outrage. For a great change around the world.”
Still, despite being such a difficult time, Jolie also had a positive message about people around the world coming together.
“I believe in humanity,” he said. “I have hope. I think we really cannot afford not to have hope. As long as people know how to help and what to do, they will.”
