Hillary Clinton is "thrilled" that she could possibly be related to Angelina Jolie and Madonna – reportedly two of her distant cousins.

"I have no idea whether there is any truth to it or not, but they're both strong independent women," she told Access Hollywood Friday.

"They also have been very quick to give back to charities and humanitarian causes, so it would be an honor to be related to them," she added.

Jolie frequently speaks out for humanitarian causes and penned an op-ed about her trip to Iraq in February. Check out her recent travels here.
