UN Goodwill Ambassadors Angelina Jolie and Shakira have reportedly become friends since their charity efforts brought them into contact.
A friend of Jolie said, "They have so much in common, we can’t believe they didn’t become buddies sooner.
“Shakira loves kids and runs a children’s charity in her home country so they have been swapping tips on fundraising.”
Jolie is ambassador of UNHCR, which works to help refugees, and Shakira represents UNICEF, the UN children’s fund.
Shakira’s own charity Pies Descalzos helps children displaced by fighting in Colombia, while the Jolie-Pitt Foundation funds various humanitarean causes, most recently including refugee relief in Darfur.
