Angelina Jolie revealed what was the hardest thing she lived with Brad Pitt
The actress spoke about her notorious divorce and offered details of her current relationship with the father of her children
In 2016, the separation of one of the most established couples in Hollywood, the one formed by the actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, was made public. The breakup, after a decade together and six children in common, occurred between harsh accusations in between. They have said little since then, but now the American interpreter has surprised with some unthinkable statements about how bad she was in the last years of her marriage with the eternal Hollywood heartthrob.
In a recent interview with Le Figaro, Jolie offered some details about the end of her love story. "It was a difficult moment, I did not recognize what I had become, I was smaller, as insignificant," confessed the 45-year-old actress. "I felt a deep and true sadness, I was hurt."
However, Jolie rescues something good from it all and described that moment as an “interesting point to reconnect with this humility and even that insignificance that I felt”. "In the end, this is perhaps the most human thing," he said.
The actress said that the thing that cost her the most after the breakup was finding herself and recovering from some health problems. "All these things settle in you and remind you of how lucky you are to be alive. I am more resistant than before, but it is still a difficult time. I have to rediscover joy," she said.
For her, the role of mother is above all else and she is completely dedicated to raising her six children. "In the morning, Mom, I wake up. Today, tomorrow again and forever because once you become a parent you belong to other beings, you no longer fully belong to yourself. All my life and my choices condition the lives of my children. Their needs and priorities are my priority, and I am very attentive to anything that may influence or harm them ”.
When asked about her life in Los Angeles, the actress made it clear that she resides there because of her ex: “I'm not really attached to this city. I would rather travel more often, but today it is not compatible with Brad's job. I cooperate ”.
Regarding her intention to dedicate herself full time to directing, Jolie commented: "That was my intention at that time, but with the separation I had to re-evaluate my choices: I find it necessary to be present with my children and not be constantly absent," she said. "Now is not a good time to get involved in long-term projects. In a way, being an actress turns out to be easier today, because it is an activity that takes up less time."
"Playing a strong character as the evil queen of Maleficent is a form of therapy. Playing a powerful character can really help you rebuild when you are not feeling your best," added the interpreter.
Regarding her current moment, the Oscar winner reflected: “I always look for freedom, and if I can sometimes appear daring, it is because I really do not choose prudence or moderation. I have a house deep in the jungle, and I have never refused to go into troubled territory. I work at the UN. I strive to live experiences that I consider necessary for my construction as a human being. I force myself to do things that intimidate me and that sometimes scare me. "
