Angelina Jolie’s dad calls her a “hero”

Angelina Jolie’s estranged father says he still looks up to his movie star daughter.

“People who raise children properly are heroes to me because it takes a lot of work,” Voight, 69, said at the Hollywood premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall on Thursday. “And when they do it with joy and love, there’s nothing more beautiful.”

Of the ‘Tomb Raider’ star’s philanthropy, Voight added, “I think she’s terrific. God bless her!”

Voight — who hasn’t spoken to Jolie since he accused her of having “mental problems” after her split from Billy Bob Thornton in 2002 — called her latest pregnancy “wonderful.

“I’m very excited, and I’m sending my love to the family,” he told Us Weekly. “They’re getting to be a bigger family — it’s great!

Added Voight, “It’s nice to see people embracing family and loving that whole process.”
