Angelina Jolie is known for far more than her stunning beauty and talented on-screen portrayals.
And on Thursday evening the UNHCR ambassador and humanitarian yet again revealed her caring nature when she comforted a distressed female fan who’d been pulled from the crowd, bending down beside her to wipe away her tears.
The 39-year-old mother-of-six arrived to the New York City set of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart where she encountered the supporter, bundled up in winter wear, waiting to meet the gorgeous star.

Angelina, screening her second major directorial effort, a biopic on WWII POW Louis Zamperini titled Unbroken, appeared on The Daily Show to discuss the experience documenting the late hero’s story.
During her interview with Stewart she touched on the challenge of telling the late Zamperini’s story because, as she says, ‘his life is bigger than any movie we could ever make, he’s an extraordinary man. It’s so hard to sum up his life’.
After convincing the studio to give her the role as director, Angelina says she was caught ‘off guard’ and even thought to her self, “Oh my. I’m not sure I do [know what I’m doing].”‘
But it appears she does know what she’s doing, as her film, described by Stewart as ‘wonderful’ and ‘epic’, is considered to be a big contender at the Academy Awards in February.
The grueling drama hits US theatres December 25 and UK theatres December 26.
