A standard trip to work with Mum has resulted in Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Knox Jolie Pitt scoring roles in Kung Fu Panda 3.

Angelina admits that while her children don’t want to become actors like her and hubby Brad, they couldn’t resist when they were asked to lend their voices to the animated film.

Pax, Shiloh and Maddox have all worked with their mum on films.

The foursome made animal noises to accompany the pandas in the film, and while it sounds like a fun day’s work, Ange admits it took some convincing for them to get involved.

“They were kind of shy,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

“They don’t really want to be actors, but I didn’t want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had fun with it.”

It’s not the first time some of Brad and Ange’s kids have been linked to the big screen.

Could Knox grow up to be just like Dad?
