Angelina Jolie is known as one of Hollywood's bad girl and although those years were all behind her, it seems like the "Maleficent" star still has the taste for danger. The 41-year-old actress happily tried munching on tarantulas and scorpions together with her kids aside from the other local delicacies while on their trip to Cambodia.

Angelina Jolie spoke exclusively to BBC prior to the screening of a true-to-life story of Khmer Rouge, "First They Killed My Father." The actress is having a premier of her new film which she hoped could help Cambodians speak more openly about their trauma where two million people died.
This is not the first time when Angelina Jolie had visited the country. In fact, in 2001, she had first filmed the hit Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in Cambodia where she later decided to adopt her oldest son, Maddox.

"I came to this country and I fell in love with its people and learned its history, and in doing so learned, how little I actually knew about the world," Jolie said. "This country, for me was my awakening."

Although the actress is obviously enjoying her trip with her beloved children, it took her some time to talk about the rough year she has after her breakup of her marriage with Brad Pitt. She also shared about its effect on their six kids.

According to Daily Mail Online, Angelina Jolie mentioned that it is a very difficult time and that they are and will always be a family. Reports say that the alleged "jet incident" involved the "Fight Club" actor and his son Maddox arguing and this caused Jolie to file for a divorce.
Despite the bitter year, Angelina Jolie said that she is focusing on her children and she is hoping that she will find a way that would make then stronger and closer.
