Angelina Jolie turned down the role for Charlie's Angels. She has her own reasons. She was told that taking this role will make her a big star but she was already a famous actress that time.
She explained, “When [Columbia Pictures] sent me the script for Charlie’s Angels, they said there were three reasons I should do it. They said there hadn’t been really good, strong roles for women; that it would make me a big star; and that I would have a fun time doing it.”
“All my roles so far in Gia, Wallace, Playing By Heart and The Bone Collector have been strong female roles. The idea of being a big STAR has absolutely NO APPEAL to me".
“Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are already celebrities and they’re going to have great fun spoofing their images with Charlie’s Angels. I’m not at that point in my career, so audiences won’t have as much fun watching me run around in high heels chasing bad guys and flipping my hair".
Angelina Jolie likes to wear headbands when she was young and she has always been generous.
Her friends tells on how she always charitable, 'She was always a wonderful person and we had a wonderful friendship. People don't realize that she was always charitable, wild but charitable. I hadn't seen her one time for six months and she gave me money'.
'As she was better funded than us, Angie would always be generous in sharing with me and other friends. She could not walk by a homeless person without offering food or money and remarking that homelessness is awful'.
'That was when she was 14. It's not a surprise that she has become so important in giving a voice to refugees around the globe'.
Angelina Jolie tells Parade magazine, "I was actually quite a cool kid,. I was never teased. I never had any trouble from anybody."
But there are times that life is hard, "I was not tough. I was certainly independent and bold… But I was never satisfied. I had trouble sleeping. I didn't really fit. I always feel that I'm searching for something deeper, something more, more.
Angelina Jolie was covered with 60000 bees for 15 minutes for the photoshop for World Bee Day to raise awareness about the preservation of bees.
She didn't shower for three days ahead photoshoot. She explained, “It was so funny to be in hair and makeup and wiping yourself with pheromone. We couldn’t shower for three days before.”
“Because they told me, ‘If you have all these different scents, shampoos and perfumes and things, the bee doesn’t know what you are.’ Then you put a few things up your nose and in your ears so you don’t give them as many holes to climb in".
“I did have one that got under my dress the entire time. It was like one of those old comedies".
