Superstar Angelina Jolie has reportedly landed roles for all of her six children in 'Cleopatra', which will also see her appear opposite fiance Brad Pitt.

The 39-year-old actress and Pitt had previously said that they did not want their brood - Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and five-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, to follow them into acting, reported Contactmusic.

"Their whole family life is rooted in films but Brad and Ange didn't want the children to follow in their footsteps. However, acting is in their genes, and it could turn out to be the start of something big for the next generation," a source said.
 

Vivienne had appeared alongside her mother in 'Maleficent', but Jolie said she only let that happen after a long discussion with Pitt.

"I only put Vivienne in the film because the other children her age would be scared of me because I looked quite scary as Maleficent. Neither one of us want our children to be actors, Brad and I, but it was just I really couldn't ask another four or five-year-old to do it," she had said.
