Agent, Tomb Raider and Dark Fairy - Angelina Jolie is usually portrayed in her film roles as strong, independent women. In real life, the 44-year-old is known as a UN ambassador and mother of six children. In an interview, the actress has now said that the strong Jolie was sometimes just a façade.
"There have been times in my life that I have not felt free," said the actress. She may have hidden that from the public. "But I did not feel safe, I felt damaged and small and circled."
Three years ago, Jolie separated from husband Brad Pitt, with whom she has six children together. Since then raged a war of roses, which turned in particular to the custody of the adopted and the biological offspring. Jolie justified the decision to split with Pitts rage and its alcohol and marijuana use.
