Angelina Jolie’s most recent interview shed light on the Hollywood star’s weaknesses. On Monday, the actress posed for the cover of Vogue Japan for June’s issue and spoke candidly about her life in the spotlight. Among the many things discussed, the 48-year-old opened up about how being emotional was both her weakness and strength. This explains why Angelina Jolie described herself as flawed and human. “It’s probably my weakness too, but my strength is that I’m emotional. I am deeply human and flawed,” she told the publication.
Jolie shared that being emotional always pushed her into wanting to connect with people. However, the actress said connecting with people didn’t always end well. She said it sometimes brought about chaos while it helped in forming authentic connections at other times. Besides Angelina Jolie admitting to being flawed, she talked about how her emotionality affected her physically. “I don’t sleep well, I’m not one of those people. I never settle. But, you know, I think some of us are kind of born that way. I’ve been trying to calm down since I was like five years old, and it’s just not happening,” she said.
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie’s interview with Vogue comes amid her legal battle with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The battle has been raging for nearly a decade over the division of assets and property they acquired while married. In 2024, the situation escalated after Pitt requested confidentiality agreements. In the middle of the conflict are the ex-couple’s children, who are in Jolie’s custody. On May 26, one of the kids, Vivienne, 15, made the headlines after reports revealed she dropped her father’s name. According to sources, the teenager chose to use “Jolie” rather than “Jolie-Pitt.”
Considering the update, it is no wonder why Pitt’s security guard, Tony Webb, insinuated that the actress is turning the kids against their dad. Recently, he accused Jolie of causing her children to avoid their father’s custody visits. So far, it appears that amicable co-parenting between Jolie and Pitt might be impossible. Still, fans are hopeful they can put aside their differences and focus on being great parents.
