Jolie also assured that she would not become an actress if she had to start her career today.
Angelina Jolie told the Wall Street Journal magazine that she probably wouldn’t become an actress if she was just starting out in the industry in 2023. She might consider acting on stage, but certainly not a life and career in Hollywood.
“Today I wouldn’t be an actress,” said the Oscar winner. “When I started, I didn’t have so many expectations to be so public, to share so much.”
Being under intense public scrutiny for more than two decades has apparently taken its toll on Jolie, who became an even bigger tabloid target after divorcing Brad Pitt seven years ago. The stress reached such a point that he noticed in 2018, during the filming of his Disney sequel, “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”that her voice had changed register since she first played the fairy tale villain.
“My body reacts very strongly to stress”Jolie said. “My blood sugar goes up and down. “I suddenly had Bell’s palsy six months before my divorce.”
Jolie said she “doesn’t really have a social life” living in Los Angeles these days because of the unwanted attention she receives every time she goes out. It’s not that she pays attention to what is written about her in the press. “I’ve been here for so long and everything has been said,” the actor noted.
Angelina Jolie’s decision to leave Los Angeles
Jolie added in her interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine that she eventually plans to leave Los Angeles for good and spend more time at her home in Cambodia.
“It’s part of what happened after my divorce. I lost the ability to live and travel with the same freedom. “I will move when I can”Jolie said. “I grew up in a pretty superficial place. Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you look for authenticity.”
