But is seems that Angelina Jolie was preparing for more pressing engagements at hand.
The actress has once again proved her dedication to charitable causes by travelling to the Middle East for humanitarian efforts.
Today the 35-year-old was in Kabul, Afghanistan, as part of her work as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for refugees.
She was meeting with those struggling to survive and adjusting after years in exile, including a mother-of-eight and one of her sons at their makeshift home at Tamil Mill Bus site.
In a moving picture, the actress - with her hair wrapped in a headscarf in a sign of respect to Muslim customs - stroked the toddler's head.
The day before Jolie presented education tools to a local head teacher and some schoolgirls in a village outside of Kabul.
Chatting with the young girls she smiled and showed them a poster in Arabic.
According to the UN, she was visiting the site where she will fund a new girls primary school.
Whilst in Kabul, Jolie has also been vocal about the struggled in Libya and Ivory Coast.
She issued an appeal on behalf of the UN for the tens of thousands of people affected by the escalating despair in the areas.
The United Nations is calling for protection for individuals exiled by conflict in Libya, including thousands of refugees and asylum seekers unable or trying to leave the country for neighbours, Egypt and Tunisia.

They are also asking that all sides protect the human rights and safety of civilians trying to flee to Liberia, whilst clashes continue in the Ivory Coast.
'As we witness these newest crises unfold in west and north Africa, it is critical that all parties respect the fundamental right of people in danger to flee to safety, whether civilians caught in conflict in their own country or refugees and asylum seekers caught in new conflicts,' Jolie said in a statement.
'All I'm asking is that civilians be protected, and not targeted or harmed.'
It is unknown whether Jolie's partner Brad Pitt has accompanied the mother-of-six on the trip.
The 47-year-old actor was last spotted in Los Angeles on Monday, after arriving at LAX airport.
He was seen proudly showed off a new gift from Jolie - a diamond pendant engraved with a microscopic love message.
The actress commissioned London-based jeweller Robert Procop to make a diamond pendant for him — worth a hefty six-figure sum — engraved with a note that is not visible to the naked eye.
Angelina and Brad have been together for five years.
Together they have six children, including adopted son Maddox, nine, from Cambodia in 2002, Zahara, six, from Ehtiopia in 2005 and Pax, seven, from Vietnam in 2007.
They also have three biological children - four-year-old Shiloh and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
