Angelina Jolie, the reigning queen of adopting kids, adopting causes, and now apparently adopting disaster relief, is back in action! This time, the 49-year-old (yes, she still looks like she drinks from the fountain of youth daily) is taking on the wildfires in Los Angeles like it’s just another day in her glamorous, humanitarian life.
In a scene straight out of a Lifetime movie, Angelina was spotted on Friday (January 10) with her 16-year-old son Knox (yes, one of her many ridiculously cool-named offspring) doing some heroic grocery shopping. Not for a casual wine-and-cheese night, mind you, but for water and other essentials. Translation: The Jolie fam is gearing up to be L.A.’s unofficial Red Cross.
While chatting with The Daily Mail (because obviously, she’s always ready for an impromptu interview while juggling bottled water), Angelina spilled the beans on her fire-relief strategy. “We’re having people at our house,” she casually mentioned, as if inviting the neighbors over for a barbecue. Only this time, the “guests” are evacuees, and the “barbecue” is probably some gourmet vegan spread because, well, it’s Angelina.
When quizzed about donating to relief efforts, she didn’t miss a beat. “Yeah, I will,” she said, in a tone we imagine was halfway between angelic and ‘duh, I’m Angelina Jolie’. But for now, she’s focused on her DIY disaster relief operation: “Right now, I’m taking care of people close to me and having them at my house.” Imagine being one of those lucky guests—sipping Evian in a sprawling mansion, with Angelina casually asking if you need more organic kale while Knox hands you a hand-woven blanket.
Angelina Jolie is not just a Hollywood star; she’s a grocery-hauling, fire-fighting, people-saving superhero. Watch out, Captain America—you’ve got competition.
