Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is set to quit acting within the next five years to become a humanitarian pilot for the UN.

According to the News of the World, The 28-year-old daughter of acting legend Jon Voigt, has been studying for her pilot's licence so she can fly aid workers and food supplies around the world.

She said: "My dream is to retire in a few years and help deliver food and get people from one place to another."

Ms Jolie currently works as an ambassador for refugees and is keen to spend more time working for the UN.

Her adopted son Maddox's fascination with aviation has also encouraged her career change. Ms Jolie, who recently separated from actor Billy Bob Thornton, said that acting was "not enough of a life".
