Angelina Jolie's children "take turns" at visiting their home countries.

The actress raises six kids with partner Brad Pitt - adopted trio Maddox, nine from Cambodia; Pax, seven, from Vietnam; and Zahara, six, from Ethiopia - and biological kids Shiloh, who was born in Namibia, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivenne, who she gave birth to in France - and thinks it is important the youngsters retain a connection to their Roots.

She said: "We owe Vietnam a visit, because Pax is due. Z wants to get back to Africa, and Shiloh too. So everyone takes their turns in their country."

Brad and Angelina make sure the children are aware of each other's heritage and display the flag of each of their brood's home nation in their house.

She explained to the Financial Times: "They are all learning about each other's cultures as well as being proud of their own.

"So it's not like just the boys get to do the Asian thing. They all have their flags over their beds and their individual pride."
