Angelina Jolie decided to give birth to her twins in France to honor her late mother, the actress has revealed in a new interview.
Marcheline Bertrand died of cancer aged only 56 in January last year.
And Jolie says the decision to have twins Knox and Vivienne in a French hospital came easy — because Bertrand (who was of French-Canadian descent) “loved” the country.
Jolie — who admits that it is hard to accept that Marcheline will never know her new grandchildren — tells Britain’s Hello! magazine, “They’re the first babies I’ve had without her.
“She was an amazing mom and she shouldn’t have passed away so young.
“She was partly French-Canadian, and she always loved France, so when I was deciding where to have the children, it was just a very comforting idea to do it in France, because I knew she would have loved it.
“That’s a reason why we’re all learning French, too, because she always wanted my children to speak the language.
“It’s a beautiful language and a beautiful culture, and being in that part of the world always reminds me of her.”
