Angelina Jolie reacts to the ‘most insane question’ she’s ever been asked
As I delve into the captivating life of Angelina Jolie, it is truly awe-inspiring to witness her transformations both on and off screen. Her portrayal of Maria Callas in the biopic “The Last Days of Marie Antoinette” is yet another testament to her versatility as an actress, showcasing her ability to embody complex characters that resonate deeply with audiences.
Angelina Jolie was recently left stunned by a reporter’s ‘insane’ interview question.
During my latest chat with the esteemed Oscar-winning actress (age 49), who graced The Sunday Times, our discussion revolved around her enchanting portrayal of the iconic opera singer Maria Callas in the buzzworthy biopic, Maria.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at Angelina Jolie’s knack for embodying real-life individuals on the silver screen. From channeling the late, iconic supermodel Gia Carangi in “Gia” (1998) to portraying the courageous French journalist Mariane Pearl in “A Mighty Heart” (2007), her performances never cease to amaze me.
However, when inquired about the possibility of a biopic based on her remarkable career, Jolie just as swiftly dismissed the notion.
She replied, ‘That question takes the cake for being the most unusual,’ acknowledging that as a public figure portraying another character, she is mindful of not wanting others to misconstrue her life or believe they comprehend it. Therefore, they aimed to be considerate when dealing with Maria.
‘Let’s hope there isn’t one about my life,’ she concluded.
During an interview with The Sunday Times, the actress known for her role as The Changeling also discussed the impact of aging on the roles she receives within the Hollywood industry.
As I’ve grown older, I find myself doing better work, she shared. Instead of focusing on specific roles, I consider how my life experiences can add value to the projects I take on.
She added, ‘It’s easier for actors than singers or dancers because your body doesn’t change.’
Instead of worrying about her power waning with age like Maria Callas did, Jolie respected the late singer’s unwavering dedication towards her work.
In my own words, I’d say: “I openly confess, I’m a dedicated worker, and I wear my emotions on my sleeve. You see, being deeply empathetic has its challenges – I often find myself overwhelmed by loneliness or emotional turmoil. Yet, this vulnerability is not just a personal trait, but an integral part of who I am and what I do. I choose to live life in the rawest form, embracing my humanity completely.
For both Maria and myself, communicating effectively with our audience has consistently held significant value.
Early in her career, Jolie was a dedicated method actress.
While making the movie “Gia”, she became so engrossed in portraying a drug-dependent supermodel that she informed her spouse, Jonny Lee Miller, she wouldn’t be reachable on set during filming.
Her unwavering dedication caused her to momentarily step away from acting, since she believed she had given all she could offer.
She notes, “When starting out as an actor, you often agree to anything. So if they ask, ‘Can you handle horses?’ or ‘Do you know this language?’, then you find yourself learning.
Jolie has won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which she received for playing a role in the 1999 movie titled ‘Girl, Interrupted’.
2001 and 2003 saw Angelina Jolie rise to global fame as she played Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movie franchise.
Some of her other notable films include ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith,’ ‘Wanted,’ ‘Salt,’ and ‘Maleficent.’
Maria was guided by filmmaker Pablo Larrain, known for his work on films like Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021).
In addition to Jolie, other actors featured in the movie are Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
In August, the biopic made its debut at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, vying for the prestigious Golden Lion award.
The film started its U.S. theater run on November 27, followed by its streaming release on Netflix starting from December 11.
The main idea of the movie revolves around: ‘Maria Callas, who was renowned as the world’s finest opera singer, spends her final years in 1970s Paris, grappling with her identity and personal life.’ (IMDb summary paraphrased)
In another part of the conversation, she mentioned that unlike Callas, she doesn’t lead a solitary life due to her extended family.
As a lifestyle guide, I find myself deeply immersed in my role, but it’s not all-consuming like it was for Maria, who lacked the familial bonds that I am fortunate to have. For me, being a parent transcends and enriches every aspect of my life, making it far more than just another part of my work or career.
The actress who played Maleficent, known for generating Oscar speculation due to her performance in the biopic as Callas, is a mother of six children: Maddox (age 23), Pax (age 21), Zahara (age 19), Shiloh (age 18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (age 16). She shares these children with her former partner, Brad Pitt, who is currently 60 years old.
In 2014, they got married, but they initiated divorce proceedings in 2016. Their divorce was finalized and they were officially considered unmarried again in 2019.
Nevertheless, Angelina and Brad are preparing for a court case scheduled for next year due to a legal dispute concerning their vineyard in France.
Brad has noticeably distanced himself from all six of his kids, as both Shiloh and Vivienne have opted to no longer use the surname Pitt.
As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share some intriguing news that has surfaced. Over the past five years, it seems the actor’s children have been spending less time with their grandparents, according to a trustworthy source who spilled the beans to People magazine.
The source added that Brad’s family interacts with Angelina’s kids in a restricted manner, but another reliable source close to Jolie presented a contrasting perspective regarding this particular circumstance.
‘Angelina doesn’t prevent any connections or interactions; instead, she actively encourages her family members to stay in contact with their grandparents.’
According to the source, each year on their birthdays and at Christmas, the children usually send cards and presents to their grandparents.
