Ageing makes Jolie feel 'settled'

Actress Angelina Jolie says she is "happy" with getting older as she feels more "settled" in her life.

"I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I've grown up. I don't want to be young again," Jolie told Daily Telegraph newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 40-year-old actress is also pleased she has already had an early menopause, after she had a surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes earlier this year.

"I actually love being in menopause. I haven't had a terrible reaction to it, so I'm very fortunate," she added.

Meanwhile, Jolie had earlier said that she is proud to have reached the milestone birthday as a lot of the women in her family have died young.

"I turned 40 this year and I am so happy. Most women in my family start to get sick and start dying in their 40s and I am going to be very happy to become 50 and 60. I love getting older," she said.
