Amanda said she was ‘worried for her job’ as Hollie made her interview debut with the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil stars. 

The presenter shared a sweet group snap of herself and Hollie posing with Angelina, 44, and Elle, 21, that she captioned: ‘I’m worried for my job!! [Hollie]is a natural!’

Amanda said to the actresses: ‘The film is very much about family and how we don’t have to kind of be built in the same way in order to be united and again, I just think this film is so full of amazing positive messages for younger people.

‘How important is it for you to play roles that kind of, and not in a sort of heavy way, but kind of really gently give a lovely message to young people?’

Angelina responded: ‘Oh absolutely especially when you know that a large part of the audience are young, I think usually it’s the adults that need to be reminded of these messages because you guys kind of already know, but it’s really important to strengthen these messages for the young.’

Discussing her six children – of which three are adopted – she added: ‘And the message that family’s not just blood you know. Half of my children are not my blood and they are absolutely my family and my children and I love them so much.
