“Unveiling the Secrets: What Angelina Jolie Wants You to Forget About Her Past”
While she’s long ended her drug abuse, she admits that they were a tool for her to self-medicate against various mental illnesses she was dealing with in her teens.
It Was Her Mother, Not Her Father, That Inspired Her To Act
While you might think having a legendary father as an actor would be enough to get someone interested in the industry, Jolie hated her father. Instead, it was from watching films with her mother that she decided to take a chance and try acting.
Jolie’s mother enrolled her in modeling classes, to begin with, but it was unsuccessful. Finally, by age 16, Jolie enrolled in acting classes and began to follow her passions.
Vials Of Blood
During her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton, the two made headlines for appearing at red carpet events with Jolie wearing a vial of his blood around her neck. They would also make out frequently on the red carpet for all to see.
When asked later about the vials of blood, Jolie told ABC that she “wanted him to feel good” and thought a vial of blood was something “a wife would do for her husband.”
A Brief Desire To Work With Dead Bodies
While Jolie was training to be an actor, she briefly dropped out of classes to become a funeral director. Her obsession with death and dead bodies had reached a new level. She said when her grandfather died, she was upset about how the funeral was organized and wanted to do it herself.
