Angelina Jolie considers French film debut

Angelina Jolie is considering making a major splash into the foreign film market - by starring in a French movie.

The new mum has spent the summer in the French countryside, and gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in nearby Nice in July - and now she's a firm Francophile.

Jolie, whose late mother Marcheline Bertrand was French, has been studying the language for years and tells German magazine Focus she would be interested in taking part in a French film - if she was asked.

She says, "When I can really speak it (French), then maybe I'll audition for a French film... I truly am interested; more and more fantastic films are coming out of Europe and other cultures."
