Angelina Jolie, who is known for keeping a low profile when it comes to her personal life, recently gave a rare interview to ELLE magazine. The actress, who will be starring in the upcoming movie Maleficent, graces the cover of the magazine and discusses various topics such as her six children, marriage, and her experimental twenties. She also mentions that she and her fiancé, Brad Pitt, have grown more interested in each other over time. In the accompanying photo shoot, which was done by fashion designer Hedi Slimane, Jolie dons black-and-white clothes from Saint Laurent. Additionally, Jolie talks about her past and how her wild-child youth was misconstrued as a desire to be rebellious, despite not necessarily being the case. Furthermore, she shares that she never thought she would find true love.
Ms Jolie, a mother to six children, admits that her nine-year partnership with Brad Pitt and their big family still amazes her. She never anticipated having kids, falling in love, or finding the perfect match, given her two divorces and a broken home background. To her, some things seem like fairy tales and are simply unattainable.
According to her, instead of losing interest in each other, her bond with Mr. Pitt has developed over time. She stated that when two individuals come together, they inspire, challenge, complement, and drive each other towards beautiful madness. Having spent a significant amount of time together, they now share a history that has resulted in a deep and genuine friendship. This comfort, ease, and love came about due to the trials and tribulations they went through together.
Although Ms Jolie was not shy in her younger years, she believes that her infamous behavior, such as kissing her brother James Haven on the Oscars red carpet in 2000 and wearing a vial of ex-husband Billy Bob’s blood around her neck, was misunderstood. She explained that these actions were not meant to be destructive or rebellious, but rather a way for her to express herself fully and break free from societal constraints.
As a young and inquisitive individual, the desire to be liberated is strong. However, when one begins to feel confined to a particular path in life, they often resist it in search for self-discovery. This may result in odd behavior or misinterpretation by others, but the goal remains the same – to understand oneself better.
Having started her career as an actress at the tender age of seven, Angelina Jolie shares that her busy schedule instilled a fear of not living life to the fullest.
At a young age, Angelina Jolie realized that she could not live a life where she did not fulfill her potential or take risks. She believes in being true to oneself even if it means stepping out of safe and traditional paths. Interestingly, Jolie cast three of her children in her latest film Maleficent, but she would prefer if they pursued any career other than acting. While Jolie and Brad Pitt do not keep their children from movie sets, they do not glorify the industry either. Jolie joked that after two days on set, both she and Brad were so stressed that they never wanted to repeat the experience. Fortunately, Shiloh, their daughter, opted out of a role in the film and expressed a desire to be a horned creature instead.
