After months of speculation about the state of her relationship with Brad Pitt, the couple’s family plans, four-year-old Shiloh’s obsession with dressing as a boy and her risky past behaviour including self-harm, Angelina Jolie has broken her silence.
Speaking exclusively to US magazine, Vanity Fair, the star confesses marriage may not be off the table for her and Brad, and speaks about the prospect of adding more kids to the couple’s brood as she plans to retire from films.
While she has come under criticism from some child behaviour experts for indulging her girl’s interest in all things male, Ange explains, “Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes suits.
“She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”
“Children are a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It’s for life.”
“I used to cut myself or jump out of airplanes, trying to find something new to push up against because sometimes everything else felt too easy,” Angelina told the US magazine.
“I was searching for something deeper, something more. I tried everything. I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren’t there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in,” she said.
“I went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was. It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life.”
