If actors Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Kal Penn did it, then Angelina Jolie probably can. Jolie, who recently appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine's December issue, fearlessly revealed that she is "open to pursuing a life in politics, diplomacy, or public service."

She admitted to Vanity Fair that her humanitarian work has helped her to be more aware of things and to consider a political role.

"When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered... Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility," Angelina Jolie told Janine di Giovanni, contributing editor at Vanity Fair.

"But I honestly don't know in what role I would be more useful-I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that could make it less possible," she was again quoted as saying.

According to Reuters, Angelina is a special envoy to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Aside from that, she also won an Academy award and a best supporting actress Oscar award for her role in the movie "Girl, Interrupted." It added that Angelina is now honing her directing skills through the movie "Unbroken" which is based on the book of the same title written by Laura Hillenbrand. The said film is about Louis "Louie" Zamperini, a former Olympic runner and World War II hero. 

In her interview with Vanity Fair, Angelina also shared some of her moments with Zamperini. She said that she visited Zamperini during his last days. She even showed him an "early cut of the film." In the interview, Angelina was not able to contain it and cried. She said that her experience of watching Zamperini, whom she described as "so physically strong," was an "extremely moving experience."

She also said that they talked about Zamperini's mom and laughed together. "And being a man of such faith, he talked about all the people he believed he would be seeing on the other side. And that it would bring him peace. After a life of fighting, he could rest," she added.

The full story can be read in the print and digital editions of the Vanity Fair Magazine. The digital edition will be available on November 6 while the print edition will be out November 11. The interview also highlighted her recent marriage to actor Brad Pitt and some of her experiences as a mother of six.

Meanwhile, Time magazine reported early October that the possibility of George Clooney running for US president in 2016 increased after marrying Amal Alamuddin, a known international human rights lawyer. 

Time also said that some of the family members of Clooney earlier hinted of the actor's political ambitions. 

"George Clooney is not just one of the most recognizable faces in the USA, but in the world, and if he did decide to run for President he ticks a lot of boxes," Time quoted Rupert Adams, a spokesman for William Hill, as saying.
