Angelina Jolies children tend to shy away from the limelight.

The Oscar-winning actress, 49, shared in an interview with Good morning America for her new movie Maria that she six children — Maddox, 23 Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — prefer to stay behind the scenes and reveal which of them is the most private.

“None of my kids want to be on camera (at) this time,” Jolie said in the Nov. 21 interview. “They are quite private.”

“Shiloh is extremely private,” she added, before explaining further, “They weren’t born with privacy, were they? So I hope they can get it when they get old. So we’ll see.”

The Eternal star has echoed similar sentiments recently, says E! News at the AFI premiere of Maria in Los Angeles in late October that she don’t expect any of them to become actors or want to be famous.
