Unveiling Angelina Jolie's Solitude and Artistic Journey
Romantic Life After Divorce
The 49-year-old star, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2014 to 2019, has been single since their divorce. The "Brangelina" duo's split was marked by Jolie filing for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. They are now embroiled in a court battle over their $350 million vineyard. Jolie sold her stake in the French vineyard to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler in 2021, which allegedly violated an agreement that she would offer Pitt first refusal and not sell without his consent. This has added another layer of complexity to their already strained relationship.After the divorce, Jolie has not been involved in any high-profile romances. She has found herself in a state of solitude, as she shared in an interview with the Sun. She said, "I have my children I love but as an adult I'm often alone. I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness she has. I also haven't quite figured out how to live life in a way where I'm on my own. Maybe a lot of artists feel that we're in an open space as a person. We don't quite settle. So it leaves us in a strange way sometimes."Return to Film and Maria Biopic
Maria marks Jolie's return to film after more than three years. Her performance in the psychological drama, a biopic of opera singer Maria Callas' life available on Netflix, is being tipped for numerous award wins. In a new interview with the Sun, she shed some light on her alone time and said, "I have my children I love but as an adult I'm often alone. I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness she has. I also haven't quite figured out how to live life in a way where I'm on my own. Maybe a lot of artists feel that we're in an open space as a person. We don't quite settle. So it leaves us in a strange way sometimes."Jolie was driven by a passion to work with the film's director, Pablo Larraín. She said, "My first step in was Pablo. I've always wanted to work with him." Larraín himself spoke about the way he felt about the iconic figure Callas, saying, "Callas achieved such a level of beauty and perfection in what she did. She changed opera and had a big influence in the history of fashion and yet really we know very little about her."Celebrity Protection in the Digital Age
Jolie was asked whether she believes today's celebrities are more "protected" than in past years. She responded, "I don't know if it's protected, or if it's turned into something cheaper. When you think about the old interviews there was a fuller conversation that was able to be had. I watched Callas's really old interviews and they spent hours talking to her about her craft. Nobody's ever done that for me. She was taken seriously." She added, "I haven't allowed myself to just enjoy [being an artist], because things become about celebrity or business. It is a gift to be allowed to live a life as an artist, and this role has helped make me rediscover art and being an artist. I am rediscovering that through Maria."
