Listeners of Radio 4's flagship Today programme have reacted to Angelina Jolie's guest editing stint where she hinted at a move into politics.
The Hollywood star, who played Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series, joked that she has no skeletons left in her closet, but added that she wasn't sure whether she was 'fit for a role in politics'.
The mother-of-six pondered her future during a stint as guest-editor on the programme.
Many social media users reacted positively to Jolie taking the reins of the morning show from 6-9am, calling the discussion 'interesting', while others felt she was misplaced to discuss certain issues due to her celebrity status.

Nicole Bourcier said if 'Lara Croft can't sort the world then who can'
Neil Winton seemed as though he didn't enjoy Jolie's guest stint on the programme
One Twitter user Hitesh Patel, tweeted that it had been 'interesting listening to Angelina Jolie' on the programme.
He said: 'Her world view is informed by visiting other countries, witnessing the lives of others. Important to remember in these times that the world is small and a lot of places aren't that far away. She's also a fan of Joe Strummer.'
This is while Nicole Bourcier said: 'Just heard on the radio that Angelina Jolie may get into politics. If Lara Croft can't sort the world out who can!'

Another user tweeted: 'Great programme today edited by Angelina Jolie. A real discussion of important issues. Painful listening at times but so educational. Congrats #r4today.
However others criticised the show and said hinted that the episode was a 'cliche'. Tony Winton wrote: '.@BBCr4today #r4todayat least we're getting every righton cliche in the book. @angelinajolie has learned 'everything' from her children. Please enough already.'
This is while Barry Collins said that the programme had been an 'extended advert for Jolie'.
'WeActivateTheFuture' congratulated the Today programme on the show
Christodgers said that most Hollywood celebrities are 'tedious bores'
Another user '@christodgers' said: 'Most of these celebrities are tedious bores. The sheer arrogance of these people to think that the real world beyond Hollywood actually cares about their views.'
During the show she told presenter Justin Webb that she can 'take a lot on the chin' and when asked if she was moving in the direction of politics she hinted that she would always 'go where I'm needed'.
'If you asked me 20 years ago I would've laughed. I really don't know.
Angelina Jolie (centre) said she didn't feel as though she had changed much since her youth
John Pockett said it had been a 'truly superb edition' of the programme
'Kris' said that it would be great if Jolie edited the programme every day
'I always say I'll go where I'm needed. I don't know if I'm fit for politics with ... but then I've also joked that I don't know if I have a skeleton left in my closet.
'So I'm pretty open and out there,' the actress, who had an acrimonious split with Brad Pitt, said.
'I can take a lot on the chin so that's good. But I honestly will do whatever I think can really make change.'
The 43-year-old Oscar winner and special envoy for UN refugee agency the UNHCR, added: 'Right now I am able to work with a UN agency ... to do a lot of work directly with the people in need.
'I'm also able to work with governments ... so I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done, without a title and without it being about myself or my policies. So for now I'll sit quiet.'
The US actress laughed as Webb suggested she could be on the list of 30 to 40 Democrats running for the party's presidential nomination.
Jolie admitted being wild and a 'bit of a young punk' in her youth but said: 'I don't feel I've changed much at all'.
Speaking about her children, three from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, and three biological offspring she said: 'They are from different backgrounds... They celebrate the difference.'
She told the show: 'Shiloh, for example, is the one that's learning Mad's (Maddox's) country's language, and Vivienne wants to live in Zahara's country.
'So just because they're from a place doesn't mean that that's everything that defines them.'
Jolie added: 'When my daughters were little, Zee (Zahara) and Shi (Shiloh), we got them each a baby doll.
'I got Zizi a little black doll and I got Shi a little white doll, and they switched dolls.
'I had that immediate reaction of one of them not liking the way they are and wanting the other colour or wanting the other... then I realised that's just who they see every day.
'They see the other, so to them family wasn't the one that looked like them, it was the other...'
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and the Nobel Peace Prize winner and Congolese gynaecologist Denis Mukwege were among those to feature in her programme.
Previous guest editors over the years have included Prince Harry, Sir Lenny Henry and Sir Richard Branson.
Veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby, who stepped down as the host of Question Time after 25 years, was the first of this year's guest editors.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
