Angelina Jolie happy for daughter to dress like a boy

Angelina Jolie's daughter is "strong-willed".

The 'Salt' actress - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt - insists that she couldn't deter four-year-old Shiloh from wanting to dress like a boy, even if she wanted to change the youngster.

She said: "I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is.

"I think people think kids should be a certain way, but I feel they should wear what they feel like wearing and they should express themselves. Shiloh cried one night and said, 'Please cut my hair off. I don't want to have long hair.' I'm not going to leave it long just because somebody thinks I should."

The 35-year-old beauty also spoke of how much she enjoys "date nights" with Brad away from their family.

She added: "You have to have date nights if you have children. Sometimes we'll ask a babysitter to spend the night so we can go out, but sometimes we just go to another part of the house."
