Angelina Jolie would kill to defend her family.

The Oscar-winning actress raises six children - Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - with partner Bard Pitt and she says she would do anything to protect them.

When asked if she could kill to defend herself, Angelina replied: 'I think I could, yeah. I certainly could defend my family.'

Angelina is famed for charity work with war-torn countries and she admits she's had some terrifying experiences when she's visited them.

The UN ambassador said: 'I had moments where I've been in a house and people have pounded on the doors and screamed at you and said, 'We know she's in there and we want her passport,' and I've had moments recently when I went to Afghanistan, and I've got off the plane thinking, this is fine. And then I got there and they said, 'The people are very angry with you. They are angry that you are a woman and you are American and you are with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), so you are the target.'

'And so they gave me a briefing and they said everybody needs to write their blood type down. There's a guy outside with a bulletproof vest, he put his passport in the vest, because he would be the one to take me out. I wrote a note to Brad in the process and figured if anything happens he'll find it. I was fine, but then two weeks later they did attack the UN and they killed everybody in the bunker.'
