How did Angelina Jolie describe life after her divorce?
During the interview, Jolie acknowledged that she went through a challenging period following her divorce from Pitt. While she did not go into specific details, she said the experience left her feeling as though she had temporarily lost the determination and drive that had long defined her.
The actor explained that the confidence she once had is beginning to return as she moves into a new phase of life and career.
What role did her children play in her recovery?
Jolie credited her six children for helping her regain that lost confidence. According to the actor, her children—many of whom are now adults or nearing adulthood, have encouraged her to travel, explore new opportunities and reconnect with aspects of herself she had put aside.
“My kids are almost all 18, so now they want to see me travelling the world,” she said, adding that they continue to support her personal growth and independence.
Why is Jolie speaking about this now?
Jolie’s remarks came while discussing her upcoming film Couture. In the drama, she plays Maxine, a low-budget horror film director juggling a professional assignment for a French luxury fashion house while raising children as a single mother going through a divorce.
Director Alice Winocour told Variety that she wrote the French and English-language film with Jolie in mind, noting similarities between the actor’s life experiences and those of the character. As Jolie promotes the project, she has also reflected on the personal journey that shaped her renewed sense of confidence and purpose.
