David Oyelowo: My Children Have Playdates With Angelina Jolie’s Kids

David Oyelowo, 42 and Angelina Jolie, 43 have been friends for years thanks to their children.

“We mainly know each other because we both have lots of kids and they have play dates now and then. I think that’s partly why we were drawn to playing parents together,” Oyelowo told Us at the Ebony Power 100 Gala on Friday, November 30. in Beverly Hills.

Oyelow and his wife, Jessica, have three sons and a daughter.

When Oyelowo and the Oscar winner were filming their new Peter Pan and Alice In Wonderland-inspired movie, they had lots of young visitors. “All the kids came to enjoy and see what their parents were doing, “ he told Us. “It was a very child-friendly set and both of us are producers on it. We were the bosses, so we allowed our families to come and say 'hi.'”

Oyelowo loved every minute working with Jolie. “Myself and Angelina Jolie play the parents of Alice and Peter,” he explained. “It was a beautiful experience to shoot. Angie, who has been a friend of mine for a very long time, was heaven.”

Shooting wrapped on Come Away in October, and now Oyelowo is getting ready for the holidays. He will spend Christmas in Los Angeles with relatives from Australia, England and other parts of the U.S.
