Angelina Jolie ‘Offing US’ for new life abroad
Angelina Jolie has told friends that she is preparing to leave the United States permanently and says that the country has become unrecognizable and warns against hazards of freedom of expression, Radaronline.com can reveal.
The 50-year-old actress and humanitarian have long suggested to her desire to base themselves abroad, often talked about her international family and career. Previous reports suggested that her bitter custody fight with former husband Brad Pitt was the driving force behind her desire to stop America.
But sources now state that the decision of Jolie is rooted in frustration with what she sees as a deepening of the division in American society in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting and learning from Jimmy Kimmel from his show.
A source close to the actress claimed: “Angelina has been clear that she wants to go out. For years people assumed that it was about Brad, but that is no longer the case. She now feels that the US is turning into a place that she no longer recognizes. This is not a mocking reaction.
Another insider added: “She has lived between countries for decades. Angelina feels more at home abroad than in Los Angeles at the moment.”
Jolie appealed to the problem directly during a press return at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain, where she promoted her new Alice Winocour drama Couture.
“I love my country, but at the moment I don’t recognize my country,” she said. “I have always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life … My worldview is equal, united and international. Everything about which personal expressions and freedoms divide or limited from everyone, I think, is very dangerous.”
Those close to her say that the comments reflect a wider disillusion with society. A friend told us: “She does not want her children to grow up in a place where rights and freedoms feel threatened. She has always believed in equality and she thinks America is declining.”
Jolie has previously talked about her struggle with Pitt, mainly because of custody of their six children, who has tied her to California in recent years. But the same friend said: “If the legal situation would allow it, she would have already left. Brad has been one obstacle, but the larger one is now America itself.”
The couple is still fighting Jolie’s sale of her part of their vineyard.
Her current political attitude is consistent with her humanitarian work. Jolie served as a goodwill -ambassador for the High Commissioner of the United Nations for refugees from 2001 to 2012 before he was appointed special envoy, a role that she has held for ten years.
She has often tailored herself to progressive causes, although in her comments in Spain she stopped giving both political parties for the polarization of America.
In Couture, Jolie plays an American filmmaker who discovers that she has breast cancer during Paris Fashion Week. She said that the role arose on her own experience with undergoing a preventive double breast amputation.
“I lost my mother and grandmother very young, so I chose to have a double breast amputation about ten years ago,” she explained. “Those were my choices. I am not saying that everyone should do it that way, but it is important to have the choice. I don’t regret it.”
She plays opposite Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf and Garance Marillier in her latest film, and wore the chain of her deceased mother and wore her ashes while filming.
Jolie said: “I thought a lot about her. I think everyone in this room was in a hospital room. Maybe some of your heavier things have experienced.”
Her next project, Frightened people, A comedy has been adapted from the novel by David Magee, Co-Starring Aimee Lou Wood, Jason Segel and Carol Kane.
