Describe my favorite actor and actress. So my favorite actor will be Benedict Cumberbatch and my favorite actress is Angelina Jolie. And I like their movies so much. They usually star in action films or mystery films and that’s very similar to where I am. In my personal life I love mysterious stuff. I’m always into detective theories or mystery books and stuff like that. So I always watch movies as such and their acting is on point. It’s always number one. And I like Angelina Jolie also for her humanitarian work that she does throughout her life. She’s been very present with charity work and making sure that a lot of kids are fed in countries which are unfortunate. And I really like that about her and I also like how fierce she is. And when she presents herself it’s very divine feminine so I really like that. And I feel like she has that sort of energy where a woman can feel powerful about herself just by looking at her and kind of understanding where she comes from. She doesn’t really come from a very mentally stable place but now at this point in her life she’s a very strong woman and she’s done it all herself. And Benedict Cumberbatch I actually watched his TV show which was called Sherlock and I am a crazy Sherlock fan. I love mystery like I said. And detective stories and everything and him playing that really showed me what kind of an incredible actor he is because I felt like I’m watching Sherlock Holmes from the books and not an actor on screen. And he’s also done a movie that I really love. It’s called Doctor Strange. That’s my favorite superhero from The Avengers and he has just done an amazing job in that movie. So we’ve been talking about a favorite movie.
