Jolie 'not afraid to perform own stunts'

Angelina Jolie has explained that she has no fear of performing often dangerous stunts for her movies.

According to Parade, the Tourist star remarked that she doesn't worry about the injuries that can result from a botched stunt.

"I just push myself as hard as I can," she said.

The actress continued: "I had one night sitting in the tub with my bruises and a little cut, crying and thinking, 'What am I doing?'

"But the worst that can happen is that you get an injury. I'm fearless to a fault - I don't know where it comes from."

Jolie recently revealed that she hopes to one day star in a French-language feature film as a tribute to her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.
