The 49-year-old actress went out in a black dress with a bare back. Angelina Jolie hinted at personal experiences after her divorce from Brad Pitt.
The Hollywood star is promoting the film “Maria” about the opera diva Maria Callas at the 81st Venice Film Festival. For the press conference before the show, Angelina chose an elegant image – she appeared in a black floor-length dress with an open back. The tight-fitting outfit emphasized the chiseled figure of the actress, who for the first time in a long time showed an impressive collection of tattoos on her arms and back. The company was made up of classic pointed stiletto pumps. As for jewelry, Jolie wore laconic stud earrings, and a luxurious brooch made of gold with a large stone.
The Oscar winner said that in the process of filming they found a lot in common with the famous singer. Maria, recognized as the greatest voice in the history of opera, died in 1977 at the age of 53 after a period of ill health and isolation. Her heart was broken after the main man in her life, billionaire Aristotle Onassis, left her for John F. Kennedy’s widow Jackie. Angie hinted at a divorce from Brad Pitt, which was also a difficult ordeal for her.
“There is a lot that I will not say in this room that you probably know or assume. I mean the part of Mary that is very soft. She had no place in the world to be as gentle as she was or as emotionally open as she was. I think I share her vulnerability more than anything else,” Jolie said.
The artist expressed the hope that Callas at the end of her life realized how much she was loved. Angie also noted that music helped her survive personal dramas. “I was more punk and loved all the music, but I listened to The Clash more than anyone. As I grew older, I began to listen to classical music and opera. When you’ve felt a level of despair, pain, love, at some point, there are only certain sounds that can compare to that feeling, and for me, the immensity of the feelings lies in the sounds of the opera. Nothing compares to this. This is a feeling that would touch all of us, which would explain this pain, so now I am more inclined to opera,” Angelina said.
The star of the film “Maleficent” admitted that she had been preparing for the role of Maria for a long time, she expressed gratitude to the children who supported her. “To be honest, in recent years, I needed to be at home more often, with my family. I was terribly nervous about singing. I spent almost seven months preparing because when you work with director Pablo Larraine, you can’t do anything halfway. He demands in the most wonderful way that you really do your job, learn and train. When I sang for the first time, I was so nervous, my sons were there, and they helped block the door so that no one else would enter,” he quotes Daily Mail Brad Pitt’s ex-wife.
Pablo Larraine tried to help the actress, he built the process so that she began to sing in a small room and gradually grew up to go on stage at La Scala. “You know I didn’t sing in public. I was afraid of not conforming to Maria. Pablo gave me time to grow up,” Angelina added.
