Angelina Jolie may now be the mother of six children, but early on in her career, she was considered one of Hollywood’s wildest stars. The actress even once admitted that in her early 20s, she hired a hitman to kill her while in a dark place with her mental health. That interview has now resurfaced, and fans are reacting to the shocking comments and weighing in on the situation.
Back in 2003, Angelina Jolie confessed that she found a hitman in NYC to carry out the task of killing her. The actress told The Face that she had the entire event planned out during one of the toughest periods in her life.
Angelina Jolie’s Shocking Comments Revisited By Fans
“They’re not that hard to find in New York,” Jolie told the outlet of hiring the hitman. “I was very aware that so many people around me, like my mother, would feel as though they didn’t give enough or do enough if I’d taken my own life. So my solution to that was if someone else had taken my life.”
The actress revealed that she planned to take out small amounts of cash from her bank account so that it didn’t look suspicious. However, she says the unthinkable happened. She claims that the hitman she had hired to kill her talked her out of her heartbreaking plan.
After The Daily Mail shed light on Angelina Jolie’s former comments, many fans were stunned by her words. In the two decades since the actress planned her death, she’s come a long way with her career and family. Thankfully, she didn’t carry out the plot to end her life.
“She has always been troubled from a young age,” one person commented on the outlet’s post.
“Well there we have it, a calculating & deeply troubled soul,” another wrote.
“The outward beauty of Angelina Jolie has always hidden the inner turmoil,” a third person stated.
In the past, Angelina Jolie has been very open about the struggles of her youth. Fans have either related to her comments or criticized them. However, she’s still pushing forward and will hopefully be able to use her experiences to help others.
