00:00Here's some surprising facts about Angelina Jolie.
00:03Since making her debut as a child all the way back in 1982, and starting her career
00:08in 1993.
00:09This is so hard because I'm such an honest person and it's so hard for me to do these
00:13kind of things because the answer is I probably take things off.
00:16Her divorce from Brad Pitt got finalized.
00:18After a jaw-dropping 8 years, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have officially called it quits.
00:23After 8 years, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally settled their bitter divorce.
00:29Signing on the dotted line to finalize their divorce on December 30th, 2024.
00:33Remember way back when the Maria star filed to end their 2 year marriage?
00:37Jolie claimed Pitt was abusive to her and their children during the 2 year marriage.
00:42Well, according to Angelina's lawyer, James Simon, this concludes just one part of a long
00:48ongoing process.
00:49Angelina and the kids packed their bags and left all the properties they shared with Brad
00:53ages ago, aiming to find some long overdue tranquility.
00:57One mistake was how to split their reported $520 million dollar fortune.
01:01Most assets will be divided according to the prenup.
01:03Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, her lawyer adds, but she's relieved to finally see
01:07some closure.
01:08Meanwhile, a friend close to Angie's feels that she doesn't trash talk Pitt publicly
01:12or privately.
01:13She's been working overtime to keep things positive and you can't blame her after such
01:17a bumpy road.
01:18With this drama now behind her, all eyes are on Angie's next move because if there's
01:23one thing we know about Ms. Jolie, she always keeps us guessing.
01:26She once wore a part of Billy Bob Thornton in a vial.
01:29One of the most jaw-dropping anecdotes from Jolie's past involved those infamous necklaces
01:34she and Billy Bob Thornton wore, each containing the other's iker.
01:38It was the ultimate Hollywood oddity.
01:40Some said it was super romantic, others called it downright bizarre.
01:44Back in the early 2000s, tabloids had a field day reporting on how Jolie and Thornton were
01:49essentially advertising their love in the most gothic way possible.
01:53Although Jolie later insisted that they'd only done a quick finger prick, the media
01:57turned it into a vampire-level spectacle.
01:59Even today, people recall this as one of her most rebellious moments, defining an era when
02:04Jolie's personal life was as edgy as any role she played on screen.
02:07Thornton, for his part, has reminisced in interviews that the whole thing got way more
02:11attention than they intended.
02:13Evidently, they thought it was a sweet gesture, but the press latched onto it like it was
02:16proof Angelina and Billy were out to redefine romance.
02:20If social media had been in its full glory back then, can you imagine the frenzy?
02:25Hashtag vamp goals would have probably been trending for weeks.
02:29So she actually took flying lessons and got a pilot's license.
02:32While many stars splurge on private jets, Angelina decided to pilot one herself.
02:37She developed a fascination with aviation in the early 2000s, partly because her father,
02:41John Boyd, had a serious fear of flying.
02:43In typical Angelina fashion, she flipped her father's phobia on its head by diving into
02:48flight school, earning her pilot's license around 2004, and people in their inner circle
02:53whispered that this is classic Angelina.
02:55She sees a challenge, and she conquers it.
02:58Today, Angelina sometimes soars above Los Angeles in a single-engine Cirrus SR22, occasionally
03:03bringing her children along for the ride.
03:05The press has snapped photos of her seated comfortably in the cockpit, head-on, looking
03:09every bit the adventurer she is.
03:11With an already busy schedule of raising kids, acting, directing, and championing various
03:16humanitarian causes, you'd think flying lessons wouldn't fit in.
03:19But for someone as relentless as Angelina, it's just another Monday.
03:23She toyed around with being a funeral director.
03:25Before red carpets and Oscars, she considered a career that would have put her on a starkly
03:29different path.
03:31Funeral services.
03:32Yep, you read that right.
03:33In interviews, she revealed that as a teenager, she was troubled by how impersonal and cold
03:37funerals often felt.
03:39She thought she could make them more compassionate, more tailored to the family's needs.
03:43While it sounds like a morbid pastime, it fits her well-known fascination with all things
03:47unconventional.
03:48Had she followed through, we might have seen a sultry Angelina's funeral home in Los
03:52Angeles.
03:53Imagine the tabloid headlines.
03:54Family, friends, and fans see this on the tidbit as one more example of how far outside
03:59the Hollywood norm Angelina has always operated.
04:01She's never been content to follow anyone else's script, so the notion of her reimagining
04:06funerals isn't that shocking.
04:08She's had a rollercoaster relationship with Jon Voight.
04:11Her complicated rapport with her father, Jon Voight, spans decades and is played out in
04:15the public eye.
04:16The two famously butted heads when Voight went on TV claiming his daughter had problems.
04:20Jolie was enraged, and soon the pair had little to no contact.
04:24At one point, they dropped each other's last names, Jolie legally ditched Voight, and he
04:28didn't hesitate to distance himself or her either.
04:31As time passed, they made tentative steps toward reconciliation.
04:34Jon has attended events with Angelina, praising her humanitarian efforts, and she mentioned
04:39him more openly in interviews.
04:41Though they seem to have arrived at a place of civility, rumors swirl that their relationship
04:45remains fragile.
04:46For someone as fiercely independent as Angelina, forging a better bond with Voight likely required
04:52plenty of introspection and maybe a fresh perspective on forgiveness.
04:56She's a devoted humanitarian on a global scale.
04:59Although many celebrities dabble in charity, Angelina's approach to humanitarian work is
05:04deeply hands-on.
05:05She began collaborating with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2001, visiting
05:10refugee camps in war-torn regions.
05:13Insiders at the time doubted her intentions, dismissing it as a phase.
05:17But Angelina proved the naysayers wrong by becoming a goodwill ambassador, and later
05:21a special envoy, passionately advocating for displaced families.
05:25She's traveled to countries like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, often without a big entourage,
05:30trying to grasp the complexities of each humanitarian crisis.
05:35Angelina's philanthropic resume includes founding the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation
05:38in Cambodia to support education and conservation projects.
05:42Colleagues say she takes her role seriously, frequently discussing policy changes with
05:46officials behind closed doors.
05:49And while skeptics once questioned her motives, these days even harsh critics concede her
05:53efforts to go well beyond photo ops.
05:56Another not-so-secret aspect of Angelina's persona is her love of tattoos.
06:00People know she sports the Latin quote on her lower abdomen and the coordinates of her
06:04children's birthplace on her upper arm, but few realize she has a sprawling collection.
06:09Each tattoo has a story.
06:10There's the Buddhist prayer on her back that she got in Cambodia, the Bengal tiger
06:14that covers much of her lower back, and the infamous dragon that she's since modified.
06:18Angelina has spoken about how each tattoo marks a stage in her life.
06:22Some are tributes to her children, others nod to the places she's traveled or meaningful
06:25quotes.
06:26Friends say she's selective about artists, often flying them in from overseas, though
06:30she occasionally removes ink that no longer resonates, like the Billy Bob reference post-divorce.
06:35She's never let Hollywood norms about clean skin dictate her body art.
06:38In fact, she seems to relish standing apart in an industry that often prizes conformity.
06:44Jolie's charitable streak extends beyond on-the-ground activism.
06:47Word has it that when she starred in the 2010 action-thriller Salt, she donated a whopping
06:51one-third of her salary to various humanitarian causes.
06:55Although precise numbers remain hush-hush, insiders leaked that Jolie felt it was her
06:59only fair to share the wealth because she's been so well compensated.
07:04Over the years, she's offered financial support to everything from children's hospitals to
07:08educational initiatives in underprivileged communities.
07:11She doesn't typically blast it from the rooftops, preferring a lower-key approach.
07:15Still, fans and industry watchers like keep tabs on her philanthropic footprint, pointing
07:19to that hefty Salt donation as her commitment to meaningful giving.
07:23Her first big directing project was set in Bosnia during a tough time.
07:27Critics praised her ambition, although the film's themes polarized audiences.
07:31She went on to direct Unbroken, the saga of Olympian hero Louis Zamperini.
07:38By all accounts, Jolie poured her heart into capturing the hardships in that story.
07:42Angelina's relationship with Tinseltown remains something of a love-hate affair.
07:46On one hand, she scooped up an Oscar and starred in mega-hits like Maleficent, she's been an
07:49A-lister since her early 20s, and there's no denying her box office draw.
07:54On the other hand, she's openly critiqued at the industry's obsession with appearances
07:57and fame, often choosing indie or humanitarian-focused projects over standard Hollywood fare.
08:03Friends say she'd rather immerse herself in activism or direct a passion project than
08:06churn out big-budget roles for paychecks alone.
08:09She's also fiercely protective of her private life, at least as much as one can be under
08:13the paparazzi spotlight, and rarely bows to pressure from studios to be more accessible.
08:19In a way, her entire career has been a balancing act between reaping the rewards of movie stardom
08:23and challenging the status quo.
08:25It's exactly this tension that keeps fans enthralled, wondering what unexpected moves
08:29she'll make next.
08:30Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally settle their divorce.
08:34After eight years, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have finally settled their bitter divorce.
08:39After millions of dollars, a lot of tears, a whole lot of turmoil, they're finally finished
08:44with it.
08:45This divorce took a messy eight years to get through.
08:48When Angelina and Brad Pitt got together after their movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I felt so
08:51bad for Jennifer Aniston.
08:53And I was a fan of all three of them.
08:55I loved Brad Pitt.
08:56I loved Angelina.
08:57I loved Jennifer Aniston, but it was so messy.
09:00And the fact that Jennifer Aniston had to deal with that in the public eye, it must
09:04have been heartbreaking.
09:05Meanwhile, and I say this with love because I do love Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie was literally
09:10taking her problem away.
09:12Now Angelina and none of his kids want to talk to him.
09:15Everyone thinks he's a bad guy right now.
09:16And Jennifer Aniston kind of rose from the ashes like a phoenix.
09:20When it comes to Angelina Jolie, this is what was said.
09:24More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt.
09:26She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt.
09:30And since that time, she's focused on finding peace and healing for their family.
09:33Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce saga finally ending after eight years of legal
09:38jabs.
09:39Angelina's lawyer, James Simon, said in a statement to Page Six, this is just one part
09:43of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago.
09:46Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she's relieved this one part is over.
09:51The former couple met while co-starring in the 2005 movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
09:56At the time, Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, who ended up divorcing him
09:59that same year.
10:00Angelina was a single mother to son Maddox, who she adopted from Cambodia in 2002.
10:05In 2005, Brad Pitt accompanied Angelina Jolie to Ethiopia to adopt daughter Zahara.
10:10The actor legally adopted both children the following year, a few months before daughter
10:14Shiloh was born.
10:15In 2007, the pair welcomed son Pax, adopted from Vietnam, to their family.
10:20The following year, the actress gave birth to her and Brad Pitt's fraternal twins, Knox
10:24and daughter Vivian.
10:25They also purchased Chateau Miraval in France and launched Miraval Wines.
10:29Brangelina announced their engagement in April 2012 and said, I do, at the multi-million
10:34dollar estate in August 2014.
10:37However, in September 2016, shortly after their second wedding anniversary, Angelina
10:42filed for divorce.
10:43It wasn't until 2022 that details surrounding an infamous private plane incident, which
10:47occurred days before Jolie requested to end the marriage, were revealed.
10:51During the flight, a now sober Brad Pitt allegedly grabbed the neck of one of the children, struck
10:55another in the face, as grabbed Angelina Jolie by the head and shook her.
11:00He also allegedly poured beer and red wine on Angelina Jolie and the kids.
11:04Both the FBI and the DCFS cleared him.
11:07Brad has always denied doing anything physical to anybody.
11:11A judge declared the duo legally single in April 2019.
11:14They spent the next several years negotiating the custody of their brood and divvying up
11:18their finances.
11:19In May 2021, a judge awarded Brad Pitt joint custody, but the decision was reversed two
11:24months later after the judge was found to have a conflict of interest.
11:27In October of that year, Jolie sold her 50% stake in Miraval Wines, the wine division
11:32of the Stoli Group, prompting Brad Pitt to sue her the following February.
11:36He accused her of violating their agreement by failing to receive his permission to sell
11:39her share and claimed she damaged the reputation of their business.
11:42Angelina Jolie filed a countersuit in September 2022.
11:46Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is throwing massive shit at Hollywood after she announced
11:50that she is going to be leaving that place.
11:55Angelina Jolie is done with Hollywood and is gonna leave for good after she divorces
12:00Brad Pitt.
12:01If you don't know, Angelina Jolie and her husband Brad Pitt have been going through
12:04a divorce for literally 7 years now and at this point, you could imagine, it's been getting
12:09pretty messy, hence the long, ongoing, dragged out divorce process.
12:19Now Angelina Jolie is opening up a little bit more about the divorce and what's going
12:24on behind the scenes, as well as where she's at mentally and emotionally about it.
12:34Angelina went on to say that after her divorce, she lost the ability to live and travel as
12:40freely as she did before, and she revealed that she will move as soon as she can.
12:50Brad Pitt and Angelina, parents of 6 children, tied the knot back in 2014 after almost 10
12:56years together.
12:57However, their marriage abruptly ended in 2016 when Angelina filed for divorce, citing
13:02irreconcilable differences.
13:11This decision to end their marriage reportedly followed accusations of Brad Pitt physically
13:17mistreating Angelina and their eldest child, Maddox.
13:21This happened during a private plane and this incident took place in September 2016, when
13:26Maddox was just 15 years old.
13:30Angelina is said to have documented the alleged plane incident in legal papers, accusing Brad
13:40of both physical and emotional mistreatment.
13:44This led to an FBI investigation into Brad Pitt's actions, and he admitted to yelling
13:50at his son, but denied causing any physical harm to either Maddox or Angelina.
13:56Ultimately, he was cleared of all of the charges.
13:59But despite that, it still didn't fix the marriage, and the alleged private plane incident,
14:04coupled with their disputes over shared assets and custody, has made Angelina and Brad Pitt's
14:10split exceptionally messy and continues to unfold publicly.
14:21In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in December of 2023, Angelina disclosed that
14:25once their divorce is completely finalized, she intends to leave Los Angeles.
14:33She describes Hollywood and its surroundings as shallow, and she expressed a desire to
14:38pursue more authenticity in her life.
14:47She just wants to be around more authentic people, authentic environment.
14:51So for Angelina, she said that she grew up in Hollywood, so she wasn't really somebody
14:55that bought into the whole hype of going to Hollywood one day and buying into the glitz
15:01and glamour of it all.
15:05She would rather spend more of her time now visiting and helping refugees and traveling
15:09to other countries, and spending time with people who have really gone through tough
15:14experiences, like people that are more down to earth and not as fake as she says the people
15:20in Hollywood are.
15:21It's not that people in Hollywood don't really go through tough times either, and
15:24there's not any genuine people in Hollywood, but just the whole Hollywood scene I think
15:28for Angelina has gotten boring for her, and the environment just isn't a place anymore
15:33that she feels that she can thrive in.
15:39Despite her desire to leave though, Angelina mentioned that due to the divorce, her ability
15:43to travel freely has been restricted over the past few years.
15:47And discussing her divorce more closely, Angelina revealed that she and her children
15:52have had to go through a healing process after all of this that went down, especially in
15:59the past few years.
16:00It was really intense for them.
16:03And in her own words, this is what she said.
16:05We had to heal.
16:06There are things we needed to heal from.
16:09And then when speaking about the closeness that she shares with her kids, here's what
16:13she added.
16:14They are the closest people to me in my life, and they are my closest friends.
16:19We're seven very different people, which is our strength.
16:22Alright everybody, there you have it, Angelina Jolie, she is officially done with Hollywood.
16:30It's just a matter of time now.
16:32But with the way that this divorce is dragging on, who knows when it will ever finish.
16:37We may see it finish in a few years, maybe it's going to drag on for another seven years,
16:42I don't really know.
16:43I don't think that Angelina wants to have it drag out any longer, that's why she's speaking
16:47out a little bit more publicly.
16:49It's like, let's get the ball rolling, kind of putting the pressure on Brad Pitt a little
16:52bit.
16:53Hopefully they can come to some type of settlement when it comes to assets and custody.
16:58Both of them are phenomenally successful actors, both of them are extremely rich.
17:03So as you could imagine, when you enter a marriage, you know, shared assets and everything,
17:08trying to get that divided up and split equally.
17:10And especially when you have so many children together, as you could imagine, this is exhausting.
17:17I'm sure it's an emotional roller coaster for Brad Pitt as well.
17:21But guys, I want to know what you think about this and Angelina.
17:25Good call for her to get out of Hollywood, just change it up completely, or do you not
17:29buy it?
17:30I know some people are out there saying that they don't actually buy Angelina's side of
17:33the story.
17:34Brad Pitt would never mistreat her like that.
17:36She's just trying to get money, trying to get her way, trying to have control over the
17:39kids.
17:40I know some people that think that.
17:41Angelina Jolie was born to be famous, stunning from birth with such unique features that
17:46are timeless.
17:47I think of her as an old school, aspirational kind of starlet.
17:51She's so beautifully unique and a talented actor.
17:54She's 49 now and this is how her look has evolved from 1997.
17:58This shot of Angelina dates back to 1997 when she was just 22 years old.
18:02Already she's brimming with confidence on the red carpet, no doubt because she grew
18:06up under the wing of her famous father, John Voight, and had been acting as a child in
18:10a teen.
18:11She's sporting the short haircut and skinny eyebrows that were super popular in the late
18:1490s, but underneath it all you can still sense the star quality.
18:18Angel's famous for her full lips and almond shaped eyes, and here we can see that they
18:22were always there.
18:24Not to mention the charisma that oozes out of this picture.
18:27Remember celebs weren't doing hyaluronic acid lip fillers in the 1990s?
18:30The only option was silicone, which I doubt could look this good.
18:34This photo was in 1999.
18:36At this time, her naturally brunette hair had been lightened to blonde for her breakout
18:39role in Girl Interrupted.
18:40In 2000, Angelina's look completely changed.
18:43To accept her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, she appeared to be channeling goth
18:48icon Martisha Adams.
18:50Her blonde hair was transformed to jet black, and she also discovered winged liner.
18:54She slayed this look.
18:55Although it wasn't as extreme as the previous year, she brought an edgy vibe to the red
18:58carpet again in 2001.
19:00Her hair was still dyed black, just tied up in a bun, and she prominently displayed a
19:04dragon tattoo that said Billy Bob on her upper arm.
19:06So remember, this was long before tattoos became mainstream.
19:10Pretty cool that she did this.
19:11In 2003, she was 28 by this time.
19:14She slowly began to move away from goth and towards a more conventional Hollywood look.
19:18So she went back to brown hair, styled in long waves, and with more natural makeup.
19:22We can see that underneath the brow pencil, most of her brow hair is actually gone, although
19:26it fortunately would grow back within a few years.
19:29In 2004, after separating from Billy Bob, Angelina stepped out looking more like a victorious
19:33secret bombshell than her former vampire chic.
19:37With the lighter hair color, glossy lips, and lined eyes, she is totally stunning.
19:42Around this time, people were accusing her of getting a nose job, but if she did, it's
19:45so natural that it barely made a difference.
19:48In 2005 was when Mr. and Mrs. Smith came out.
19:50She was constantly in the tabloids, thanks to a blossoming relationship with her co-star
19:55Brad Pitt.
19:56With her pouty lips, long lashes, full mane of brunette hair, she looked every inch the
20:00Hollywood superstar.
20:01In 2007, Angelina continued to turn heads on the red carpet after becoming a mom.
20:06She was 31 by this time, and she'd given birth to Shiloh the year before.
20:10This high bun and winged liner are classics.
20:12Who looks this good after giving birth to twins with four other kids in the house?
20:16Angelina.
20:17That's who.
20:18She went back to her darker brunette hair color.
20:20She embraced what was quickly becoming her signature look of shaded eyes and pale glossy
20:23lips.
20:24This was in 2008.
20:25In 2010, Angie had bangs, which she didn't decide to keep, but looked so great on her.
20:30To go with her new look, she lightened her hair again to a softer mid-brown and dialed
20:34out the drama with a charcoal eyeliner and false lashes.
20:37Angelina's 2012 Oscars look was one that we won't soon forget.
20:41But not because she surprised us with red lipstick, it's because she kept flaunting
20:45her right leg, inspiring countless photoshop memes that still circulate a decade later.
20:53After speculation that the leg thing might negatively affect her career, she kept a low
20:57profile for a while.
20:59No more red lips, no more gowns with high slits, just understated glamour like she epitomized
21:03here.
21:04This was perfect with her go-to individual lashes.
21:07It's so simple, so pretty.
21:09She slayed.
21:10If this is 40, sign me up.
21:11She is perhaps the most beautiful of all in this stripped back look of natural hair, barely
21:16their makeup, except for some low-key lashes and eyeliner to extend out her eye shape.
21:20Angelina seems more luminous here, and it's probably because 2019 was her year.
21:24Not only was her divorce from Brad Pitt finalized, making her officially single again, she also
21:29made a professional comeback by reprising her role in the Maleficent series.
21:33That brings us to this red carpet appearance, and she seems to be aging in reverse.
21:38Let me remind you.
21:39She's 46 in these photos, but she could almost pass for a decade younger here.
21:44This slightly lighter hair colour softens her features, her skin has a real natural
21:48glow to it, and notice how much fuller her eyebrows have become, which contributes to
21:53the youthful effect.
21:54To wrap this up, Angelina has said that she hasn't had any work done at all, and I believe
21:58her.
21:59She doesn't need it.
22:00She's aged gracefully, beautifully, and she continues to do so.
