Angelina Jolie on the cover of German Cosmo
January 2009’s German Cosmopolitan features Angelina on the cover along with a short article. Here’s a bit of the translation via Just Jared:
On finding time for her family, acting career and commitment as a UN ambassador: “Well, I do take my time outs. And most of all I do receive support from Brad [Pitt]. We are a good team. That is important to me and gives me strength… I cannot sit quietly while others die of hunger and children. My commitment for the United Nations I do not want to abandon.

The one thing that doesn’t ring true it he bit about her eating Angie doesn’t usually sound so severe. I think she does have a balanced diet but the word “discipline” doesn’t sound like how Angelina would describe herself when comes to her diet. I’d expect her to say something like she tries to each correctly. Translations are difficult so you’ll never get the true understanding of a persons word unless you understand the language.
I’m glad to hear that she does have time to do Pilates. She’s naturally thin so lots of cardio without toning wouldn’t work for her.
Another interested point is that Cosmo has recycled versions of this cover for several years. Check out the comparisons over at Gawker
