It was for a production that seeks to raise awareness about the importance of these insects.
Every May 20 World Bee Day is celebrated and this time Angelina Jolie posed surrounded by these insects for the cover of National Geographic. With the intention of raising awareness about the urgent need to protect them, the actress said: “With so many things that concern us around the world and so many people who feel overwhelmed by bad news (...) this is a problem that we can handle ”.
Although the most skeptical will want to attribute it to the editing tricks, the photographer Dan Winters assured that the actress posed covered in bees for 18 minutes. As proof of that, from Nat Geo's Instagram profile they shared a fragment of the production.
"My main concern was safety (...) Everyone on set except Angelina had to wear a protective suit and the place had to be quiet and dark to keep them calm," he explained of pre-production strategies. In addition, the photographer stressed that the artist "remained perfectly still, covered with bees for 18 minutes and she was not stung."
Jolie was named "godmother" of a UNESCO and Guerlain program called "Women for Bees" that "trains women as beekeepers-entrepreneurs and protectors of native bee habitats around the world."
As a result of this production, the artist gave a note to the portal in which she shared her feelings about the experience: "I will sound similar to my Buddhist practices, but I felt pleasure to be connected with these beautiful creatures."
While she acknowledged that it was not easy because bees are seen as dangerous insects, she reflected: “The intention is that we share this planet. It affects each other. This is how one should feel and I really felt this way and at the same time I felt very honored and very lucky to have been able to experience it. It was really fun to have them in my hair and makeup. "
Always committed to different causes, she recognized that her children are a great inspiration: “There are six of them and they are growing much more informed. It depends on your generation. We are connected. The decisions we make and the things we do in the next 10 or 20 years will shape or disrupt the way we can live on this planet. "
