Returning to acting after a messy divorce
In recent years, Angelina has enjoyed swapping acting for the director’s chair, with films like Unbroken and First They Killed My Father , but recently she says she’s been unable to take on more directing projects due to “family background,” referring to her lengthy divorce from Brad Pitt.
“I love directing, but a change in family circumstances prevented me from directing for a few years,” she told Entertainment Weekly in an interview. “I needed to do shorter jobs and stay at home more, so I went back to acting.”
And the divorce battle is still very intense
Angelina and Brad split in 2016, but their divorce remains unresolved.
All that could soon change, as the former couple are preparing for a long-awaited trial, which could include testimony from their children as well as testimony related to domestic violence allegations.
While there is a separate file regarding testimony from the couple’s young children, both Brad and Ange need court approval if they want their children to be involved in the divorce (including Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne)
Maddox, 19, Zahara and Pax can all testify without parental supervision.
According to court documents, Angelina filed various documents that made it clear that she was willing to give “evidence and authority in support” of the domestic violence allegation during the divorce trial.
Angelina’s dad has a lot to say about the divorce
Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight has a reputation for being outspoken, much to his celebrity daughter’s dismay. And it looks like he’s done it again.
The 82-year-old actor recently spoke out about Brad’s past due to alcohol addiction while chatting with a paparazzi. He hopes his ex-son-in-law can “take care” of himself. “He [Brad] has had some problems with alcohol, I hope you work it out and I pray for you.”
In his first interview with GQ after the breakup, Pitt admitted that his alcohol abuse sent him “falling off a cliff”. He vowed to stop drinking, while insisting he “didn’t want to live like that anymore”.
She auctioned a gift from Brad – a Churchill painting – for a record amount
Winston Churchill, the famous wartime prime minister of Great Britain also loved to paint, his works are now quite rare and expensive.
During their time together, Brad gave Angelina a painting of Churchill titled The Tower of Koutoubia Mosque . Last month, this painting of Marrakech surpassed expectations when it sold for $11.5 million at a London auction.
She has added to her impressive Dior collection
Expensive works of art are not the only thing Angelina collects. It’s no secret that she also has an impressive collection of luxury bags.
Angelina often switches between a white Dior Bobby bag, a black Dior 30 Montaigne, Celine’s Triomphe (in a variety of colors), or a Le 16. Bottom line: she tends to shop as an investment. . On a shopping trip to Los Angeles with daughter Shiloh in January, we see the latest in her luxury collection: the Dior Caro bag.
In tribute to Christian Dior’s sister, Catherine, who is affectionately known as “Caro”, the bag is decorated with the brand’s iconic Cannage motif.
Relationship with Diplo
Art and luxury fashion aside, Angelina still enjoys the “normal” things in life. And recently she was recorded participating in a rustic BBQ party.
Superstar DJ Diplo posted a sneak peek of Angelina at “a local neighborhood barbecue” on his Insta, surrounded by drinks and crisps.
Rumors on social media suggest that Angelina’s son Pax is also pursuing a DJ career, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Diplo could give him some advice. Whatever the case, the fact that Angelina still attends the barbecue is something that may delight many of her fans.
