Speaking candidly, Angelina Jolie discussed her split from actor Brad Pitt as well as the enormous media and public attention she has received in the entertainment industry. The Academy Award-winning performer said that, if she were just starting out in the business in 2023, she would not pursue a career in acting in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine.
Angelina on Hollywood
In conversation with the Wall Street Journal Magazine said: “I wouldn’t be an actress today. My body reacts very strongly to stress. My blood sugar goes up and down. I suddenly had Bell’s palsy six months before my divorce. When I was starting out, it wasn’t as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much. I’ve just been around so long and there’s been everything said.”
The actor added: “It’s part of what happened after my divorce. I lost the ability to live and travel as freely. I will move when I can. I grew up in quite a shallow place. Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity.”
On relationship with Brad Pitt
While filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004, Angelina Jolie got to know Brad Pitt. Ten years of dating later, the couple tied the knot in 2014. In 2016, they made the decision to divorce. Six children are shared by them: Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and the ten-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox. They are engaged in a property-related legal dispute. In June, Brad sued Angelina for selling her portion of their shared French vineyard without consulting him.
Regarding her career, Angelina Jolie is set to play the role of the renowned opera singer Maria Callas in the film Maria, directed by Pablo Larrain. The world’s best female opera singer’s turbulent, beautiful, and sad life story will be relived and remade in the film during her dying days in Paris in the 1970s.
