Actress Angelina Jolie said she wants to leave Hollywood to live in a place like Cambodia after ending her divorce battle with Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie revealed her plans to leave Los Angeles in an interview with WSJ magazine published on December 5. The 48-year-old star said she wanted to move away from “unhealthy Los Angeles” and spend time in Cambodia – where she acted in two parts of the movie The Secret of the Ancient Tomb in the early 2000s and adopted her son Maddox.
However, Angelina cannot currently move where she lives because she is still in a custody battle with her ex-husband, actor Brad Pitt. “That’s part of what happens after a divorce. I lose the ability to settle somewhere else and travel freely,” Angelina explained. “I’ll move when I can.”
As the daughter of actor Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand – a native of Los Angeles, Angelina Jolie has lived in this city since childhood but she was never really impressed with this place. She dislikes the “superficial” life in Hollywood and admits “there’s not really a social life” here. Angelina’s closest friends are all refugees, according to the actress.
Angelina said if she could do it again, she probably wouldn’t choose acting as her main profession. The Wanted star didn’t think about the downsides of fame when entering Hollywood. “When I first started, I didn’t think that everything would be made public and shared so much,” Angelina explained.
Angelina Jolie is still pursuing acting and film directing. In addition, she founded her own fashion brand in New York. Angelina is also a humanitarian activist, helping refugees and fighting for the rights of women and children.
The actress currently resides in Los Angeles with her 6 children, including: Maddox 22 years old, Pax Thien 20 years old, Zahara 18 years old, Shiloh 17 years old, twins Knox and Vivienne 15 years old. She broke up with actor Brad Pitt in 2016 and temporarily received custody of all 6 children after the divorce.
Also in the interview, Angelina Jolie said she and the children had tried to heal and mend the damage after their marriage broke down. The star proudly talked about her children: “They are the closest people in my life, my closest friends. 7 very different people but that is what creates our strength. “.
