that she probably would not become an actor if she was just starting out in the industry in 2023. Shed consider acting on the stage, perhaps, but certainly not a life and career in Hollywood.
I wouldnt be an actress today, the Oscar-winner said. When I was starting out, it wasnt as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much.
Being under intense public scrutiny for well over two decades has seemingly taken its toll on Jolie, who found herself even more of a tabloid target after she divorced Brad Pitt seven years ago. The stress got so bad that she noticed in 2018, during the filming of her Disney sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, that her voice had changed registers from when she first played the fairy tale villain.My body reacts very strongly to stress, Jolie said. My blood sugar goes up and down. I suddenly had Bells palsy six months before my divorce.
Jolie said that she doesnt really have a social life living in Los Angeles these days due to the unwanted attention she gets whenever she steps outside. Not that she pays attention to whats being written about her in the press.
Ive just been around so long and theres been everything said, the actor noted.
