Angelina Jolie has proudly come out.
Angelina Jolie is not just a Hollywood icon; she is an actress, filmmaker, humanitarian, and a symbol of strength for many.
Over the years, she has built a career that blends blockbuster success with critically acclaimed performances, while also dedicating herself to global humanitarian efforts.
From her early days in Hollywood to her evolution into one of the industry’s most powerful figures, Jolie has never shied away from expressing herself – both professionally and personally.
Angelina Jolie’s acting career began with small roles in the early ‘90s, but it was her breakout performance in Hackers (1995) that first captured public attention.
She solidified her talent with Girl, Interrupted (1999), earning an Academy Award, and established herself as an action star with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001).
Her versatility shone through in films like Changeling (2008) and Maleficent (2014), proving her ability to captivate audiences across different genres.
Beyond acting, Jolie expanded into directing with films such as In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011) and First They Killed My Father (2017), showcasing her dedication to storytelling beyond the screen.
Outside of Hollywood, she has become a passionate advocate for social causes.
As a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), she has traveled the world, raising awareness about the struggles of displaced communities.
Her unwavering commitment to human rights has earned her numerous accolades, including the prestigious Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
Angelina Jolie’s personal life has long been a topic of public fascination, from her marriages to Jonny Lee Miller, Billy Bob Thornton, and Brad Pitt.
Her relationship with Pitt, which began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), became one of Hollywood’s most high-profile romances.
Together for over a decade, the couple—who share six children—eventually went through a highly publicized divorce in 2019.
Despite the scrutiny surrounding her relationships, Jolie has remained committed to her personal growth and evolution.
Throughout her life, she has been open about her sexuality.
In a 1997 interview with Girlfriends magazine, she stated: “It’s great because I love men and women. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it’s okay to want to kiss and touch her? Absolutely! Yes!”
Her relationship with actress Jenny Shimizu was well-documented, with Shimizu claiming their connection lasted for years.
However, during her time with Pitt, Jolie acknowledged that her focus had shifted, telling The Sun: “I’ve never hidden my bisexuality, but since I’ve been with Brad, there’s no longer a place for that in my life.”
