But that all changed on Tuesday when the Oscar-winning actress was seen smiling and flashing a peace sign behind co-star Elle Fanning on the London set of her new film, Maleficent 2.
This comes just six days before the mother-of-six is set to celebrate her 43rd birthday.

Jolie was covered up in a white plush robe and already had her Maleficent horns on with heavy makeup that included a pale face, filled in eyebrows and deep ruby red lipstick.
The Salt star had long nails and several rings on as well as a pair of very think black sunglasses.
Elle was in a cream silk blouse and mirrored sunglasses with her flaxen locks in a Swedish braid with yellow flowers tucked in.
Pals: Fanning also shared a photo where she was looking into the camera with Jolie’s horns behind her. The young star cleverly captioned that one, ‘Photobomb’
The caption read, ‘It’s bring your mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set.’ At age 20, the 42-year-old Jolie could be her mother. But the star was likely referring to how Angelina’s character is like a mom to Elle’s character in the movie.
