Angelina Jolie says her eldest sons saw 'the pain' she usually hides from them while working together on the set of her new film Maria. Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 23, and Pax Jolie-Pitt, 21, worked as production assistants on the Maria, a biographical psychological drama film about opera singer Maria Callas.

Jolie, 49, who portrays Callas in the biopic, revealed that the character has 'lot of pain' - which she channeled on the film set in front of her sons. 'They've of course seen me go through a lot of things, but they hadn't experienced me expressing a lot of the pain that usually a parent hides from a child,' the actress told the BBC.

Jolie shared how Maddox and Pax would give her a 'hug' or 'bring me cups of tea' after her emotional displays. The actress says the experience helped her find a 'new' and 'even greater way' to be honest about her feelings with her family. Maria - which has already generated Oscars buzz following the trailer's release - dropped on Netflix on December 11.

The star's latest emotional revelation comes just days after she opened up about feeling lonely and 'in a strange way' ahead of her bitter court battle with ex husband Brad Pitt. The former A-List couple - who split eight years ago with Angelina accusing Pitt of abuse - are in the midst of an acrimonious legal battle for their French vineyard.
