Former Goth girl Angelina Jolie feared she wouldn't be a good mom. The Tomb Raider star has revealed her large family almost didn't happen when apprehension took over her initial meeting with her first son.

The 32-year-old actress says that she didn't think motherhood is for her until she held Maddox in 2002.

"They put him [Maddox] in my arms and I stared at him and I started crying and he smiled," Jolie narrates.

"I hadn't held children before in my life. I was always considered so dark and I thought maybe I shouldn't be someone's mom because I'm not so sure about myself - am I going to be the best mom?

"The fact that this little kid seemed so at ease gave me the courage to feel I could make him happy and so we became a family."

Jolie has two more adopted children she shares with partner Brad Pitt - 3-year-old Pax from Vietnam and 2-year-old Zahara from Ethiopia. They also have a biological daughter, 19-month-old Shiloh.
