Angelina Jolie thanked her fans for their support at last night's World War Z premiere following her double mastectomy operation.
The actress joined partner Brad Pitt for the London premiere of his latest movie yesterday (June 2), in what was her first public appearance since announcing her decision to have the surgery back in February.
Jolie told BBC News that she feels "great" since the operation, and that she is "very grateful" for the support given to her.
She said: "I've been very happy just to see the discussion about women's health expanded and that means the world to me.
"[Pitt] has been extraordinary, he's such a wonderful man and a wonderful father and I'm very lucky."
She added: "After losing my mother to these issues, I'm very grateful for it and very moved by the support."
"It's a very moving experience, it's brought our family tighter together. I get a little emotional about it 'cause what it has meant to others has really surprised me, she's a very special woman."
Last month, Jolie confirmed that she had been diagnosed with a mutated BRCA1 gene, which carries a high risk of cancer. She underwent the mastectomy in February, before having reconstructive surgery in April.
