WHAT?! Angelina Jolie Wants To QUIT ‘Shallow’ Hollywood? Finally Breaks Silence On Divorce From Brad Pitt: ‘Lost My Ability To Live, Travel Freely’
Angelina Jolie has sparked fresh concerns for her fans as she hinted at taking a step back from acting while breaking her silence about her Bell’s Palsy diagnosis, her separation from Brad Pitt, and her desire to move away from Hollywood, a place described as ‘inauthentic’.  

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal Magazine about her current state of mind, and revealed that she ‘lost the ability to live and travel’ freely after the divorce. ALSO READ | Angelina Jolie Filed Anonymous Lawsuit Over Brad Pitt's Assault Allegations; Actress Identified As ‘Jane Doe’-REPORTS!

Jolie and Pitt reportedly separated in 2016, following an altercation on a private jet. They subsequently became involved in an acrimonious legal battle for the custody of their children, and the division of their business interests. 

Now, Jolie has admitted that she feels ‘a bit down these days’, and added, “I don’t feel like I’ve been myself for a decade, in a way. Which I don’t want to get into.” She also pointed out, “My body reacts very strongly to stress. My blood sugar goes up and down. I suddenly had Bell’s palsy six months before my divorce.” 

The Maleficent actress added that she can’t have ‘a social life’ in Hollywood, because every time she steps out, she attracts attention. Owing to all the troubles, Jolie intends to spend more time in Cambodia. 

“I grew up in quite a shallow place. Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity,” she said, adding that if she were starting now, she wouldn’t be an actor at all. “When I was starting out, it wasn’t as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much,” she said.

The critically acclaimed actress also said that her six children - Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – are her ‘closest friends’, and that they needed to collectively ‘heal’ from what they went through. 

“We had to heal. There are things we needed to heal from,” adding that her close female friends offered their support. “I realised my closest friends are refugees. Maybe four out of six of the women that I am close to are from war and conflict.” ALSO READ | Brad Pitt Splashes $40million For 20th-century Costal California Home Post Winery Drama With Ex-wife Angelina Jolie

Following the years since her separation from Pitt, Jolie has starred in only four live-action films. She is currently filming a biopic of the opera singer Maria Callas. Pitt, on the other hand, has led several high-profile films since 2016, and has also won an Oscar.
