The doctor who delivered Angelina Jolie's twins has admitted to feeling pressure in dealing with one of the world's most famous women.

Dr. Michel Sussmann performed a caesarean section on Jolie and delivered her son Knox Leon and daughter Vivieene Marcheline in the French city of Nice on Saturday.

When quizzed about his nerves prior to the operation by radio station Europe 1, he said: "For sure. It wasn't pressure on a medical level, because I have been practising for a certain number of years, but it's true that there was pressure due to the couple's fame.

"I was assisted by a team that was totally competent, so things happened as I wanted them to happen - simply and efficiently."
