Angelina Jolie admits 'no one has ever taken me seriously as an actress' in heartbreaking admission and thanks her new movie Maria for 'rediscovering her love for acting'

As a devoted admirer of Angelina Jolie, I find her journey as both an actress and a humanitarian incredibly captivating. This latest piece about her role as Maria Callas in a new film truly resonates with me, highlighting the struggles she faces to be taken seriously in her craft despite her undeniable talent and numerous accolades.

She’s one of the most famous actresses in the world, winning multiple accolades for her work.

But Angelina Jolie, 49, says she feels she has never been taken seriously in her acting career.

Discussing her latest movie in which she portrays renowned opera singer Maria Callas, Angelina mentioned to the Radio Times: ‘I found it demanding.’

‘As artists you want to take on something that you are afraid of, that you’re not sure you can do.

‘You think about the old interviews there was a fuller conversation that was able to be had.

‘I watched Callas’s really old interviews and they spent hours talking to her about her craft.

‘Nobody’s ever done that for me. She was taken seriously.

I’ve found it difficult to simply appreciate the joy of being an artist, as it often turns into a focus on fame or commerce.

‘It is a gift to be allowed to live a life as an artist, and this role has helped make me rediscover art and being an artist. I am rediscovering that through Maria.’

Angelina shared that it took her several months to master opera singing, mimicking the style of Maria Callas for her role. In the movie, you’ll hear a blend of her voice with the actual voice of Maria Callas.

On Monday, she was nominated for a Golden Globe award for her role as Maria.

Regarding the training, she stated: ‘Authentic opera can’t be faked. It requires a genuine, whole-body approach for it to truly manifest.’

Operas require singing at a rather high volume. Sometimes, when everyone else leaves, I get the chance to belt it out loudly.

I wasn’t entirely confident about my readiness to confront such depth of truth and emotional turmoil. However, it’s evident that Maria adores her work, yet there seems to be a significant amount of stress and suffering hidden within as well.

She added that she found singing opera to be a form of therapy.

I strongly suggest it to anyone. Life experiences often linger within us physically, affecting our digestion and posture. However, to master opera singing, one must learn to release and express these stored emotions.

‘I became very emotional because when you start to let it out it’s very, very primal.’

angelina jolie has appeared in movies such as Maleficent, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and recently it’s been announced that she will take on a role in the film ‘Stitches’, which is based in the glamorous world of European high fashion.

She has three biological kids with her former spouse Brad Pitt, who is 60 years old: Shiloh (age 18), along with twins Knox and Vivienne (both 16). In addition, they are parents to their adopted children Maddox (23), Pax (21), and Zahara (19).

Reports indicate that Maddox and Pax rarely communicate with their father, while Shiloh has legally dropped Pitt from her surname. Similarly, Zahara appears to prefer not using the surname Pitt.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase it this way: In 2016, Angelina, my former partner, initiated divorce proceedings, citing instances of unprofessional behavior during a flight we took to the United States.

To this very day, they continue to dispute custody matters, and also the ownership of their estate, Chateau Miraval, located in the beautiful countryside of France.
