ANGELINA JOLIE - JOLIE GAVE BIRTH IN MUM'S HONOUR

JOLIE GAVE BIRTH IN MUM'S HONOUR

ANGELINA JOLIE chose to give birth to her twins in France in tribute to her late mother MARCHELINE BERTRAND.
The actress and her partner Brad Pitt welcomed babies Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in the south of France in July (08).
And it was Jolie's decision to have the twins in France to honour Bertrand, who died of cancer in January 2007.
The Tomb Raider star tells Britain's Hello magazine, "They're the first babies I've had without her. She was an amazing mom and she shouldn't have passed away so young.
"She was partly French-Canadian, and she always loved France, so when I was deciding where to have the children, it was just a very comforting idea to do it in France, because I knew she would have loved it. That's a reason why we're all learning French, too, because she always wanted my children to speak the language."
And Jolie finds being in familiar territory comforting - as it helps the actress recall memories of her mother.
She adds: "It's a beautiful language and a beautiful culture, and being in that part of the world always reminds me of her."
