Angelina Jolie has spoken out about sharing the big screen with her daughter in the forthcoming fairytale 'Maleficent'.

The Oscar-winning actress has explained her decision to cast her five-year-old daughter Vivien as the young princess Aurora, in the Disney film, which explains the myth of Sleeping Beauty from the black fairy's point of view.

Despite Vivien's appearance alongside her mother, Angelina has made it clear that neither she nor partner Brad Pitt want to push their children to follow their acting profession.
