‘I actually pranked my kids when I first did Maleficent and I scared one of my kids! And I’ll never do that again. I won’t say which kid it was but, I thought, when I had first put it on and they had never seen it, and I thought it would be fun to kind of, you know. But when you’re little, you don’t realize what mom means, to a kid,’ she recalled.
‘I think that’s why Maleficent’s so scary, is because she’s a woman,’ she continued. ‘So it’s almost like a mom. Mom means so much and when mom transforms into something that’s like a demon, it had a really bad effect and I had to kind of peel it off and take everything off in front of my kids to say, ‘It’s me! It’s me! It’s OK.’

The teen, who Angelina adopted from Cambodia in 2002 with and her then partner Pitt legally adopted four years later, is very close to his mom, according to a Us Weekly source.
However, the 55-year-old actor’s relationship with Maddox has been strained since they reportedly got into a heated altercation three years ago on a private plane the family were traveling in.
After marrying in 2014, Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016, shortly after the altercation.
A judge only declared the actress ‘legally single’ in April 2019.
Maddox reportedly doesn’t think of the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star as his father.
