Angelina Jolie says she’s getting better jobs as she gets older.
Angelina Jolie sat down for an interview with The Times, published Saturday and, she says that though many actresses will say they get less desirable roles as they age, she doesn’t feel the same.
Angelina Jolie says, “I’ve got better work as I’ve got older. I don’t think about it in terms of roles offered but in terms of life experience you contribute.”
So, sounds less like Angie getting perfect roles and, more like her perspective is helping her deliver even better performances.
Either way, t’s a pretty stark contrast to what other stars, like Geena Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal — have said in recent years decrying the difficulty for women to find meaninful parts in Hollywood after reaching a certain age.
As you can imagine, the interviewer tries to ask Angelina questions about her split from Brad Pitt, but, she repeatedly shut down questions over it — with the writer noting she’s only able to talk about so much given the litigation they’re involved in.
Angelina Jolie does open up about her family life with her kids during the convo … admitting that work isn’t everything — but, her children are.
BTW … Angelina’s responding to questions about taking on new roles to promote her new movie “Maria” — all about opera singer Maria Callas who is painted in the flm as feeling age takes away her power.
Clearly, AJ’s not feeling the same.
