Angelina Jolie's cute exchange with kid reporter
On Tuesday, Virgin Radio Toronto shared a delightful video of Jolie speaking with their child reporter, Liam. The interaction began when the youngster asked Angelina which snack she would hide in her outfit, to which the actress playfully pulled out a toffee. Liam then offered her his favourite snack, which Angelina happily accepted, saying: “Oh, I love it and I’ll definitely be eating this during the premiere.”
The most endearing moment came when Liam asked: “Will you adopt me?” Jolie laughed and responded: “I’m sure you have a great mummy and daddy. But you do remind me of my boys. My two boys are from Southeast Asia. Where are you from?” When Liam replied, “Toronto”, Angelina gently asked if he knew where his great-grandparents were from. Liam answered “China”, to which she smiled and concluded: “Very nice to meet you. You are very good at this; you should keep doing it.”
Fans were touched by the adorable exchange. One commented: “Haha, he did such a good job.” Another wrote: “The only thing sweeter than a candy is this exchange.” A fan added: “Aww, she’s so sweet.” Another said, “Are you kidding me? This is the most endearing moment.” Many praised Jolie’s warmth, calling her “such an angel” and “so good with kids.”
