As Angelina Jolie is promoting her most recent directorial film, 'Unbroken,' she has hinted that her career as an actress is over and being behind the camera is what her future holds, but her retirement isn't set in stone just yet.

Jolie prefers being behind the camera

The Oscar winner recently revealed that she doesn't plan on giving acting up altogether, but she will only do "very little acting" going forward. However, even though she prefers being in the director's chair, Jolie isn't keen on the idea of directing herself.

"I'll do very little acting in the future. And it's funny, somebody said to me - and I think it's true - what's odd is that I wouldn't direct the films I act in," she told the Sunday Times Culture magazine. "Some of them, maybe, but in general I wouldn't spend two years working on the things I'm in."

Jolie's latest directorial effort, 'Unbroken,' stars Jack O'Connell as Olympic athlete Louie Zamperini. Based on a true story, Unbroken centres on Zamperini's experience in the Second World War including surviving a plane crash in the Pacific, 47 days adrift at sea and two and a half years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp.

Only a few weeks ago, the 39 year-old actress also told DuJour magazine of her plans not to appear in front of the camera in the future. "I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera. 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 said.
