Angelina Jolie supported by all six children on the red carpet at The Breadwinner premiere

Angelina Jolie brought all six of her children along to the opening of her latest film at the Toronto Film Festival for moral support.

The A-list star, who split from husband Brad Pitt one year ago, walked the red carpet with her entire brood as she celebrated the debut of The Breadwinner on Sunday night.

Instead of launching the animated film about an Afghani girl on her own, Jolie was joined by Maddox, 16, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11 and nine-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne.

The actress acted as producer on the new film, based on the best-selling children’s book by Deborah Ellis, published in 2000.

Having stayed tight-lipped about her impending divorce from Pitt for many months, Jolie has recently given a series of interviews about the split.

She told the Telegraph that being single is not something that she “wanted”, amid rumours that she was set to reconcile with the actor.

"I don't enjoy being single. It's not something I wanted,” she said. “There's nothing nice about it. It's just hard.”

Jolie added: “Sometimes maybe it appears I am pulling it all together, but really I am just trying to get through my days.

"Emotionally it's been a very difficult year.”

Her words mark a year since the Mr & Mrs Smith stars' marital breakdown was revealed and a month since Jolie shared the first trailer of her latest film, First They Killed My Father.

Jolie directs the film centred on the 1970s Khmer Rouge regime and adapted from a memoir by activist and lecturer Loung Ung, which tells of her survival under former Cambodian leader Pol Pot.
