ANGELINA JOLIE has announced her plans to "fade away" from Hollywood, insisting she needs to redirect her focus towards her family.
The 33-year-old star has grown tired of juggling life in the limelight with her role as a mum-of-six and is nearly ready to retire.
In an interview with BBC News she says, "I don't plan to keep acting very long. I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity.
"I like being home a lot. First and foremost, I have a lot of children, and I need to make sure they're growing right and they've got us there for them."
But Jolie is quick to admit she may be lured back to the big screen if a new role really intrigues her.
She adds, "I don't think I'll ever say I'm never, ever gonna work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative."
Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt share adopted kids Maddox, seven, Pax, four, and Zahara, three, and biological children Shiloh, two, and newborn twins Knox and Vivienne.

ANGELINA JOLIE has backtracked on her decision to "fade away" from acting, insisting she's not ready to retire yet.
The Oscar winner recently suggested she was finished with films, and wanted to quit so she could spend more time with her six children and partner Brad Pitt.
Hinting her retirement was imminent, she said, "I don't plan to keep acting very long, I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day."
But, speaking at a press conference on Monday (17Nov08) to promote her new movie Changeling, she insists she still has acting ambitions.
Jolie says, "I'm not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time.
"I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I'll stop (acting)."
