Angelina Jolie revealed what was the hardest thing she lived with Brad Pitt
The actress spoke about her sounded divorce and offered details of her current bond 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, came between harsh accusations in between. Little has spoken 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 to 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, she 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," she expressed.
The actress said that the thing that cost her the most after her 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 was honest.
For her, the role of her mother is above all else and she is completely devoted to raising her six children. "In the morning, I wake up mom. Today, tomorrow again and forever because once you become a parent you belong to other beings, you no longer completely belong to yourself. My whole 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 frequently, but today it is not compatible with Brad's job. I cooperate ”.
Regarding the intention of dedicating herself full time to directing, Jolie commented: "That was my intention at that time, but with the separation I had to reassess my choices: I find it necessary to be present with my children and not be constantly absent," she stated. "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 seem 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. "
