She is a real star: she is talented and famous. But most Angelina is not enough. To be just a famous actress and a dream of millions is so boring! No, she is ready to try on all possible roles. And not just on the screen. Angelina Jolie and her 10 main roles in life are the subject of our next conversation.
Role number 1: a star child.
Fate ordered that, from birth, the girl was surrounded by celebrities. Her godparents, for example, were Hollywood stars Maximilian Schell and Jacqueline Bisset. Angelina Jolie's father is John Voight, a famous American actor, an Oscar winner for his role in the film "Return Home." Mother - French-Canadian actress Marcelin Bertrand. After the divorce from her husband, she devoted herself completely to raising children, and the favorite entertainment of their small family was going to the movies. Even then, Jolie firmly decided that she would become an actress.
Role number 2: the model.
Before appearing on the screen, Angelina managed to try herself on the podium. At the age of 14, she already participated in fashion shows in New York, Los Angeles and London, and also starred in video clips. For example, Lenny Kravitz, Rolling Stones and Meat Loaf. True, she did not want to continue her modeling career.
Role number 3: Honored Artist of Hollywood :)
During her career, Jolie starred in various films and received many awards. It boasts three golden globes (for roles in the tapes of George Wallace, Gia and Interrupted Life), two awards from the Screen Actors Guild and even one Oscar (for the same "Interrupted Life"). True, the opinions of film critics about Angelina's talent have always been contradictory. Along with nominations for prestigious awards, she was nominated five times for the title of "the worst actress". However, I never received it. Every time this "honorable" title was given to some less fortunate star.
Role 4: Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations.
During the filming of the film "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider" Angelina was in Cambodia. And she could not remain indifferent, she was so impressed by her plight in this country. Shortly thereafter, she became the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees. The actress not only donated huge sums in favor of refugees and victims of civil wars, but also personally visited many poor countries within the United Nations delegation. Now, according to Jolie, she gives a third of her royalties to charity. In addition, together with Brad Pitt, they organized a fund for the organization Médecins Sans Frontières.
Role number 5: mother-heroine.
Currently, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt raise six children: they have three of their own and three adopted children. For all their employment, the couple finds time for communication and the upbringing of offspring, and also specially arranges their work schedule so as not to leave them alone. In the family there is even an unwritten rule: if one of the parents has to stay away for a long time, the second one definitely remains at home. By the way, the actress took seriously the choice of names for children: each has a special meaning. For example, her daughter's name is Zahara, which in Swahili means "flower." The name of her son Paquet is translated from Latin as "peace", and another daughter Jolie called the biblical word "peaceful" - Shailo.
Role number 6: a fan of extreme sports.
Jolie was always a rebel and was looking for a thrill. At the beginning of her career, she was famous for her love of cold weapons (and collected a decent collection of knives). She also kept the house of snakes (it certainly helped her on the set of the film "Alexander" - after all, her character by the name of the Olympics constantly had to appear in the frame with "reptiles creeping", with which the actress, incidentally, immediately found a common language!). Fearless Angelina is in great physical shape and performs all the movie tricks herself, without doubles. And in ordinary life, it is not much inferior to their superheroes. For example, she has even a license to fly an airplane!
Role number 7: rebellious scandal.
For a long time, Jolie was difficult to name an example for imitation. In her youth, she had to deal with serious psychological problems. Hence, a multitude of antics, strange statements, public scandals. Before the meeting with Brad Pitt, she had twice been married, both times the marriage was loud, but short-lived. On her first wedding with British actor Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina appeared in tight black trousers and a white T-shirt, on which she wrote her fiancé's own blood. The second wedding with actor Billy Bob Torton was also unusual. The couple exchanged special ornaments, inside of which their blood was kept, plus lovers made themselves tattoos with the names of each other. After the divorce, both had to reduce these tattoos.
Now all these oddities are in the past, but the love for the decoration of his body in the actress was, apparently, for life. In total, she has about 13 pins (part was reduced or replaced by new ones). Although without the pretext of Jolie's body, of course, does not paint. Every tattoo means something important to her. Some of them are winged phrases. For example: "Quod me netrit me destruit", which in Latin means "That which gives me strength, also destroys me", "Know your rights" or "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages "(the statement of the writer Tennessee Williams" Prayer for the wild in heart, languishing in imprisonment "). And on her left shoulder-blade are the coordinates of the places where her every child was born.
Role number 8: the writer.
Few know that in 2006 the book Angelina's "My Travel Notes" was published in Russian. This is the diary of the actress she led during her travels. Yeah, during her life, she probably saved up the material for a couple of bestsellers!
Role No. 9: The best sister in the world.
The actress has an older brother James Haven, with whom she has a very warm and tender relationship. Brother and sister are not only similar in appearance, but also very close in spirit. James also wanted to connect his life with the cinema, but, unfortunately, did not reach special heights. But he made a few experimental films. And in all of them his famous sister played! Despite the fact that the pictures were unsuccessful and did not interest anyone, Jolie supported her brother as best she could. And he often accompanied Angelina at various ceremonies and appearances.
Role number 10: role model.
As you can see, Jolie is not only a great actress, mother and sister. She is a multi-faceted person who is not afraid of anything new, bright, interesting. It is ready for difficulties, for overcoming them and always, in any situation, remains by itself. So, it is an excellent example for all of us. By the way, she copes with this role perfectly. However, as with all the rest!
