Angelina's kids are learning French

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children are learning French.

The Hollywood couple – who raise children Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, together – are keen for their offspring to embrace the European language to help them understand why the country is important to their family.

Angelina – whose late mother Marcheline Bertrand was of French Canadian descent – explained to BANG Showbiz, Right now they’re in the French programme and they’re doing very well. We want them to learn French and speak French because of our heritage.”

As well as Angelina’s beloved mother, France is special to the couple for other reasons, and was chosen to be the birthplace of their twin babies Knox and Vivienne.

The 35-year-old beauty gave birth to the tots at the Lenval hospital in nice, France in 2008.

Angelina was speaking at the gala premiere of ‘Salt’ at the Empire Cinema in London’s Leicester Square last night, August 16, where she looked stunning as she greeted hundreds of screaming fans.

She said, “I always enjoy London and this is amazing. It means so much when everybody comes out.”

The screen beauty also revealed she had brought her two youngest children with her while Brad looked after the eldest four at home.

She added, “I brought the babies. I’m having some special baby time.”

Angie: "Brad & me are the same", and more on: twins time, blood games & dressing like a man to fool Mad

The 35-year-old actress told Mandrake at the premiere of Salt at the Empire, Leicester Square, in London, that, after she had been made up and kitted out as a man for a scene in the spy film, she brought her son on to the set.

"I invited him to come say 'hi' to me and I didn't tell him who it was," said the actress. "So he came down, he shook my hand and he hung out with me for a while and then I said 'Mad?' and he went 'Aaaaagh! Muuum!' and he totally freaked out."

The disguise also concerned Brad Pitt, 46, Jolie's boyfriend. "He couldn't kiss me as a man," the actress added.

At Monday's London premiere of Salt, Angelina Jolie admitted to UsMagazine.com that her kids with Brad Pitt love to play with blood -- the fake, behind-the-scenes kind, that is.

Jolie, 35, explained that her kids -- including Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5 and Shiloh, 4 -- would often come with her on the set of action thriller. "I would bring them in early in the mornings...and I'd let them [use] blood," she said.

"So we play together, they try on my wigs, they play with the blood," the mother of six told Us.

But don't worry, she insisted. "They know it's all silly! They test the harnesses and we have them flying around. They know what it is."

Not that Jolie didn't shed any real blood while making the intense action flick. "I have a little scar right here," she admitted, pointing to the front of her scalp, describing how she "went smack into a table" during an gun-shooting sequence. "It was a little embarrassing."

Were Shiloh and the gang in London for the big night? Just "the babies," Jolie told Us of twins Vivienne and Knox, 2. "I'm having some special baby time."

The star also lent some insight into how she and Brad Pitt co-parent. "We're very much a united front," she told Us. "They can't get Mommy to do something Daddy wouldn't. We're very much the same. But we take turns working and we bring the kids to each other's sets, so we try to stay together."

Angelina: "Salt" premiere in Paris

Angelina Jolie showed off some trademark vixen flair at the Paris premiere of her spy thriller Salt.

Jolie showed up to the photo call wearing a low-cut, glittering number that also showed off her legs.

The actress, sporting a tousled, flirty up-do, repeated her red carpet performance from the night before in London, taking time to sign photographs and pose for pictures with fans. At one point, she seemed to cut her finger and improvised on the fly by sucking on it to stem the minor injury.

Her partner Brad Pitt is currently filming his next project Moneyball in California.
