Nine Reasons Angelina Jolie Is One Of Our Favourite People

Angelina is really the lady of the moment. After announcing she underwent a double mastectomy to prevent cancer, the actress has proved to be an inspiration to many by sharing her story with the world. Here are nine reasons we love Angelina...

1. Because she is Angelina

You have seen her, right?

2. Her lips alone.

Seriously, those are her actual real lips.

3. Opening up about her health

Angelina made the brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy but has spoken openly about the ordeal, encouraging women to discuss their health problems and ensuring thousands of other will become more conscious.

4. Her charity work

Jolie is famous for her humanitarian work, most notably as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. We're not sure where she gets the time.

5. She is one half of this couple

The most beautiful couple on Earth? Quite likely...

6. Supermom

Jolie and Pitt are parents to three biological children and three adopted children. This basically qualifies Jolie as Supermom Extraordinaire.

7. Action Heroine

We definitely think she could kick any or all of our asses. At the same time.

8. She's actually a pretty good actress

Changeling really proved Jolie's acting chops. She also has an Oscar.

9. Her honesty

Jolie has never been one to hide behind closed doors. Sure, she likes her privacy but there are some things she is not afraid to speak up about, humanitarian issues, the importance of her family and perhaps what most people remember, that marriage to Billy Bob Thornton.
