"She has trained in martial arts for action roles in movies like Tomb Raider and wants her kids to become experts as well.

"The wildfires were a wakeup call that cash won't protect her family in an 'end of days' scenario. She also wants them to learn how to survive in the wild for a few days because you just never know when these skills might come in handy."

The news comes as she was seen out shopping with her son Knox, stocking up on supplies following a break in the fires.

Jolie first went there in 2000 to play the main character in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

The movie was a global success and is considered the first international film that brought Angkor Wat temple to a Western audience on big screens. She then adopted a young Cambodian, named Maddox, in 2002.

"It’s strange, I never wanted to have a baby. I never wanted to be pregnant. I never babysat. I never thought of myself as a mother. It was suddenly very clear to me that my son was in the country, somewhere," she said.

"When I first came to Cambodia, it changed me. It changed my perspective. I realized there was so much about history that I had not been taught in school, and so much about life that I needed to understand, and I was very humbled by it."
