Angelina Jolie: many millions, six children and a fight against Brad Pitt that has left her exhausted
To this day, there is no absolute certainty that Angelina Jolie is a happy woman. At the end of 2019, many media in the United States picked up a confession that the actress had spread among her family circle and her close friends, according to which she did not see herself getting married again in the future.
Her 12-year relationship with Brad Pitt, between courtship and marriage, had broken down in 2016 after a chain of problems, fights, disagreements and emotional ups and downs of various kinds - among which Pitt's problem with alcohol and her inability to manage her temper outbursts - and it wasn't until last year that the divorce proceedings finally closed that had had Hollywood's most glamorous couple on the brink of an anxiety attack.
At the end of the cycle, Angelina felt, they say, empty inside, disappointed, exhausted: neither she nor she was considering remarriage. At 45 years old, who turns this Thursday, unless there is a drastic turn of events in the future, she sees herself as a free woman dedicated to her children and her career, until she manages to overcome the disappointment of having worked so hard. for a marriage that, despite all efforts, ended up being shipwrecked. In addition, the good 2019 that Brad Pitt has had - whose career has revived splendidly with his roles in Ad Astra and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which has provided the latter with all the possible awards of the year for best supporting actor, including the Globe of Gold and the Oscar - it has not made things easier. Nor has it helped that rumors spread that Pitt was rebuilding his friendship with Jennifer Aniston, his ex before he married Angelina.
That marriage, you know, was dreamed of. The most beautiful woman in the world with the sexiest man in the galaxy: an explosive alchemical alloy of genes that was destined to create the new higher branch of the human race. She came from maintaining a relationship with the actor Billy Bob Thornton, several years older than Angelina, and with whom she had an adopted son in Cambodia, Maddox, for whom Brad Pitt later wanted to take responsibility, who handled the paperwork to be his legal father . She later adopted another daughter, Zahara, in Ethiopia, and a son, Pax Thien, in Vietnam. To balance the family, Angelina and Brad had three more biological children, Shiloh Nouvel, born in Namibia, and twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, born in France. The growth of the family, the good progress of work and the frenzy of the couple's activity with numerous NGOs placed them in a privileged position: they seemed the perfect marriage.
But the problems came. First, the disease: In 2013, Angelina underwent a preventive mastectomy after being detected signs of breast cancer. And later the deep crisis of the couple. At that time, Brad Pitt's problem with alcohol worsened: he drank every night, he entered a depression that damaged his career - although not his physical condition, as the scene on the roof in Tarantino's latest film demonstrates. and soured his character. Arguments were frequent, reaching a point of no return when the eldest son, Maddox, and Brad Pitt got into a serious fight during a flight to France. At that moment, Angelina made the decision to break up. She couldn't take it anymore.
Those years of dedication to her family and to her marriage slowed down her career as an actress for Angelina Jolie, which although it has not been interrupted, it has slowed down. After coinciding with Brad Pitt in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), the action film that lit the fuse, he has had some notable roles in the Maleficent saga, directed by Clint Eastwood (The Exchange) or in thrillers with high violent intensity like Wanted and Salt. She has also directed her own films, such as Unbroken and By the Sea (2015), starring her and Brad Pitt, and where she was practically already chronicling the failure of her relationship.
Surely, from now on she will turn more in her acting career, where she continues to be one of the highest paid in Hollywood: for her role in Maleficent 2 she pocketed 28 million dollars, figures that few actresses today, including Scarlett Johansson, they can beat. In addition, he has also obtained a character in one of the next installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - a secondary role in The Eternals, which will be released in 2021, if nothing goes wrong - which suggests a professional relaunch of Angelina Jolie for the next months. Now that she's alone and she doesn't want anyone, at least she'll want to fill her checking account.
