Angelina Jolie spoke to Wall Street Journal that she never impressed with the Los Angeles showbiz environment because she grew up around Hollywood.
Her parents are both actors, Jon Voight and her late mother Marcheline Bertrand. Because of this, she said, “I grew up in quite a shallow place. Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity.”
When it comes to refugees, she felt comfort. She explained, "Why do I like spending time with people who’ve survived and are refugees? They’ve confronted so much in life that it brings forward not just strength, but humanity … I realised my closest friends are refugees. Maybe four out of six of the women that I am close to are from war and conflict.”
