Angelina Jolie’s life before having children and why now she hardly acts

Angelina Jolie is one of the most seductive and desired women on the planet. For many, it is synonymous with wisdom, beauty and charm. It is not surprising that her name, translated from French, sounds like “beautiful angel”. That’s what her parents, the famous American actor John Voight and French-Canadian actress Marcheline Bertrand, called her. It seems that the fate of a girl born under a Hollywood star is already predetermined, and with this bloodline, it has secured the path to achieving fame. However, before becoming a celebrity, she had to go through countless things: childhood trauma, hatred of her own body, and many more.

O awesome.club tells today the story of an actress that many will see from an unexpected angle, in addition to explaining why in the last 9 years the world watched only two films with her participation.

Jolie’s parents divorced a year after she was born. Marcheline Bertrand, year-old Angelina, and her other sibling moved from Los Angeles to New York. The mother’s dreams about a career in the cinema were already a thing of the past, all her time was devoted to the upbringing of her children. This is what triggered the rift between Angelina and her father.

The girl could not find enough strength to forgive him and did all the worst to punish him: ran away from home, took banned substances, and surrounded himself with dangerous types.

After returning to Los Angeles, Angelina began studying at Lee Strasberg Theater & Film School and then at Beverly Hills High School. Her thinness and love of wearing hand-me-downs turned her into a black sheep. among all students. And after several failed attempts to build a career as a model, her self-confidence completely disappeared.

Despite the fact that Jolie was asked to appear in videos of famous musicians such as Lenny Kravitz and Meat Loaf, she couldn’t get excited. Hatred for their appearance was the reason for the appearance of rituals of self-flagellation with knives.

Your role in Hackers it helped her to believe in herself and to have courage. And although the film failed economically, it became cult after its video release. In addition, on the set of the film, Angelina’s romance with Johnny Lee Miller, her future first husband, began.

At the wedding ceremony, Jolie appeared dressed in black rubber pants and a white shirt, on which the groom’s name was written in blood. But his oddities didn’t end there.

In 1997, for her role in the television movie “George Wallace”, Angelina received a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. In the late 1990s, she gained great popularity and in the year 2000 became the first actress in history to win the Golden Globe three times in a row in three different indications:

Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film: George Wallace — The Man Who Sold His Soul (1997).

Best Actress, Miniseries or TV Movie: Gia — Fame and Destruction (1998).

Best Supporting Actress: girl, interrupted (1999). In addition to the Golden Globe, Angelina won an Oscar for this role.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the star was labeled as bisexual after, in an interview, saying that if she wasn’t married to Lee Miller, she would have married actress and model Jenny Shimizu, whom she met on the movie set rebels🇧🇷 It was just about the fact that Angelina admires her co-star, but instead of refuting the rumors, the artist decided to add fuel to the fire.

During filming of the movie Original sin, there were rumors about Jolie’s romance with Antonio Banderas. When asked if this was true, Angelina replied that “he is married to the most beautiful woman”, mentioning Melanie Griffith and adding: “I would rather sleep with her before venturing into a romantic relationship with him”.

Furthermore, rumors were also raised about Jolie’s incestuous relationship with her brother James Haven. The actress stopped these rumors immediately. And they came about because the brothers kissed at the 2000 Oscar ceremony.

Just a year later, the actress’s life would change dramatically and the gossip would quickly be forgotten.

During the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, in Cambodia, Jolie was shocked by everything she saw. The country suffered a humanitarian crisis and was just beginning to recover from a civil war against the Khmer Rouge regime that lasted for many years.

When the filming work was completed, the actress went to the United Nations Commission asking to be sent as a volunteer to the countries where the missions of this organization were located: Tanzania, Pakistan and Cambodia. After several months of work in these places, in one of the interviews, Angelina said: “I realized the difficult situation of these people. They deserve respect for all they’ve suffered and not a look over their shoulder.”

In 2002, already with the status of UN Goodwill Ambassador, the actress visited Cambodia again. During her visit, she adopted a child, who is now known around the world as Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Even during her first work as a volunteer, Jolie donated 1 million dollars (almost 4 million reais) to the refugee commission, becoming the largest private donor in the history of the UN. After adopting Maddox and obtaining Goodwill Ambassador status, the actress created a foundation that encouraged the construction of schools and day care centers.

In 2005, she adopted a girl from Ethiopia and started a romantic relationship with Brad Pitt. But this story is well known and we are not going to talk about the situation that unfolded in this celebrity family. We can only say that we wish the best for the Jolie-Pitt clan with all our hearts.

Obviously, the work at the UN changed Jolie and influenced the choice of her new roles to be played in the cinema: a philanthropist in the film Love without Borders or the wife of a journalist leading an investigation into a terrorist in The Price of Courage🇧🇷 Between 2000 and 2010, practically every year we had movies with Angelina, but after the remake of The touristwe only saw her in two more characters: maleficent and former ballerina Vanessa in the film by the sea🇧🇷

What happened? Why only two movies in a decade?

Over time, Jolie’s charities gained traction, while her film career became a lesser factor in her life. And that’s not to mention raising 6 kids, which naturally takes a lot of time and effort.

In one of his old interviews for the vanity fairAngelina said: “I like acting, but that’s not the most important thing in my life”🇧🇷 She is drawn to certain roles: those that deal with questions about life, love and freedom.

On more than one occasion the star has stated that she had not planned on acting until she reached maturity. And yet, he still does not intend to leave his career, so he works in Come Away, in which she will play the mother of Peter Pan and Alice. The film is scheduled to release in 2020.

Given all this, we can conclude that there is no reason to worry about the end of Angelina Jolie’s career: she is waiting for an appropriate and interesting role that will contribute to her life. But even if that moment is not so far away, it will certainly please her fans as a film director, something that will also be amazing. Do you agree? What is your favorite Angelina movie?
