Wednesday April 25, 10:59 AM Washington, Apr 25 (ANI): Angelina Jolie has been called the next 'Mother Teresa' for all the charity work that she does, but the actress personally hates the tag.
The actress insisted that she did not want to be named the 'Mother Teresa of Hollywood', for she was not the only one in the industry who wanted to help the poor and the destitute.
"I don't want to act like the Mother Teresa of Hollywood. I quite simply want to help where there is poverty and destitution. Am I the only one who thinks and acts like that?" Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
The 'Mr and Mrs Smith' star, who has three adopted children from some of the world's poorest nations, said that she did not start her charity work because she wanted to be more famous, but because she realised that as a "privileged" person, she had the power and the money to "do something" about some of the injustices in the world.
"It became clear to me I was an incredibly privileged Hollywood star and I had to so something against the screaming injustice on this planet," she said. (ANI)
