Angelina Jolie could run for political office

Angelina Jolie hasn’t ruled out running for political office.

The actress and humanitarian - who is currently a United Nations Special Envoy for Refugees – said she could be persuaded if she felt she would be “taken seriously”, according to The Independent.

“If I thought I'd be effective, I would,” said Jolie, during an interview with George Stephanopoulos for Good Morning America.

“But I'm not sure if I would ever be taken seriously in that way and be able to be effective.”

Next month, the Maleficent actress will co-chair the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict in London, with Foreign Secretary William Hague.

In March, she travelled to Bosnia to meet rape victims of the Bosnian war.
