Angelina Jolie moved into the grand Cecil B. DeMille estate in 2017 — shortly after her split from Brad Pitt. But in no way did she predict she would end up spending as much time as she has in the home until the pandemic hit.

In an interview with Vogue UK, Jolie, 45, explains how being in the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom Italianate Revival villa with her children — despite its beauty — has been difficult. “I was never very good at sitting still,” Jolie said. “Even though I wanted to have many children and be a mom, I always imagined it kind of like Jane Goodall, traveling in the middle of the jungle somewhere. I didn’t imagine it in that true, traditional sense. I feel like I’m lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home mom.”

The “Wanted” star bought the Los Feliz home for a whopping $24.95 million. Sitting on 2.1 elevated acres, the 7,500-square-foot main house recently underwent a six-year renovation and restoration. The estate holds a state-of-the-art gym, a spacious library with custom floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and an expansive patio.
