Angelina Jolie wanted to "hug" her children after her trip to Afghanistan. The 33-year-old actress was so emotionally drained following her visit to the war torn country that she couldn't wait to see the six kids she raises with partner Brad Pitt. When asked what she did when she returned home, Angelina replied: "Hug the kids." Angelina - who travelled to the Middle East last week in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency - met refugees who have returned home after fleeing the country following the downfall of the Taliban regime in 2001, and also visited projects run by Afghan Hands, an organisation which helps women and children. She said: "After seeing real suffering, you never complain anymore." Angelina recently revealed she thinks people take her politics "less seriously" because she is an actress. She said: "I don't necessarily think that's a natural role for an actor. Sometimes acting and politics make a very bad combination. I think that sometimes people take me less seriously in my work for the UN because I appear in movies."
