The coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone on a global scale, and Angelina Jolie is currently self-isolating with her children in Los Angeles. While it is a worrying time, there has been one positive from the situation for the Hollywood star, as she has been able to spend quality time with her oldest son Maddox. The 18-year-old has been studying in South Korea at Younsei University, but it's believed he is back living with his mum and siblings now that the school has closed. Speaking about Maddox, Angelina told Dong-a Daily: "I could not be happier about Mad's choice of university. It is of course closed at the moment because of the pandemic. But he's not transferring school."
