"I've never been comfortable as an actor - I've never loved being in front of the camera," Jolie told Du Jour.

"I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier."

She has previously said that her portrayal of Cleopatra could mark her final acting role.

Jolie has been teasing her plans to retire from acting for years.

She was most recently seen in Disney's Maleficent.
