And
now that Angelina Jolie is married, she is hoping to improve her
domestic skills, although her new husband isn't entirely onboard with
the idea.
'Now that I'm officially a wife, I said to Brad that I was going to try to learn to cook properly,' the 39-year-old said on the Today show on Tuesday. 'He said, "Don't bother"... he's tasted my cooking!'

The star revealed she was able to show Zamperini a cut of the film before he died, by bringing her laptop to his hospital room.
'I
had the great honour of watching this extraordinary mountain of a man
watch his life and relive the events of his life,' she said. 'It was a
very profound and very moving moment'.
She
added: 'Then he said something funny and silly and when I left the
hospital room I realised that he took care of me and made me feel okay
about his passing. That's who Louis was.'

Angelina also spoke about her new career as a director, insisting she never planned to follow this path.
'I
didn't plan on switching careers, I just found stories that I care
about and I wanted to tell them and the best way to tell them was to
shepherd them from beginning to end.'
She
said being a director has been 'a great creative experience,' adding
that Unbroken was 'the hardest creative experience' of her life.

about': Angelina also spoke about her new career as a director,

The
film is based on the book, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival,
Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand and traces Louis'
incredible life story.
Louis
competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, survived a plane crash when he
was a bombardier in WWII by living on a raft for 47 days and became a
Japanese POW.
He
was incarcerated for two years as a Japanese prisoner of war and
subjected to a horrific regime of daily abuse and torture that saw more
than 35,000 others perish.
Once the war ended he devoted his life to inspiring others, becoming a born-again Christian and giving speeches.
His
mantra, which is tagged onto promotions for Unbroken is: 'To persevere,
I think, is important for everybody. Don't give up, don't give in.'
