Angelina Jolie talks giving up acting for directing Brad Pitt: "I've never been comfortable as an actor"

Angelina Jolie has admitted while she finds it "tricky" directing her husband Brad Pitt - she's willing to give up acting to do it.

The Hollywood actress has previously dropped the bombshell she's wanting to give up acting for good, but now she's finally explained her reasons - admitting she's "uncomfortable" in front of the camera.

We never noticed.

"I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera," she stated. "I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier."

But talking about starring with Brad in By The Sea, she said: "The tricky thing is directing myself and directing Brad. It's hard, dramatic material, and we're balancing."

The pair began filming shortly after their secret wedding - so it stepped in as a sort of honeymoon for them.

"It's a heavy film, and it's not easy for us," Angelina said. "But even as you struggle through it, you're in the trenches together and you don't expect it to be easy. We're challenging each other and that's a really good thing."
