Angelina Jolie's father in his youth and now - relationship with his daughter. Facts about Angelina Jolie's turbulent youth (15 photos) Young Jolie

She is one of the highest paid Hollywood actresses, a mother of many children, a UN Goodwill Ambassador and simply a very impressive woman who looks great at the age of forty. However, life did not always spoil Angelina Jolie. Biographers and fans of Mrs. Pitt, who received this official status in 2014, have unearthed many intimate secrets of the actress, which she kept under seven locks. What was life like for Angelina Jolie in her youth? What memories would she like to get rid of forever?

Yes, in childhood and adolescence Angelina Jolie could not call herself lucky. Both Angie's mother and father were constantly busy filming, as they worked as actors. When the girl was one year old, the father left the family, leaving his ex-wife with two young children. Angie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, gave up her dreams of an acting career, focusing on her daughter and son. There was always a shortage of money in the family, as the mother did odd jobs. Looking at Angelina Jolie now, it’s hard to imagine that in childhood and adolescence she dressed exclusively in second-hand stores.

Having acquired complexes due to her own thinness (malnutrition was common in the family), she tried to protest by dressing in black clothes. Angie complemented her gothic style with bright red hair. Already at the age of fourteen she dated guys. One of them even became her common-law husband. At the same time, the mother believed that it was better for the children to live with her under the same roof, and not wander through the parks in search of a place for privacy. Angelina Jolie herself still claims that in her youth she did the right thing, and her mother supported her in this. At the age of sixteen, the girl decided that family was not for her. Work became the main meaning of life. Angie started out as a model, showing clothes on the London, Los Angeles and New York catwalks. She was noticed and invited to appear in video clips. Angie considers her most outstanding works to be collaborations with Lenny Kravitz, the Rolling Stones and Meat Loaf. But the theater interested her more, so she returned there.

While Angie was trying her hand at modeling, her eldest managed to graduate from film school. The first films in which Angelina Jolie starred in her youth were his experimental tests. The actress does not like to talk about them. His official debut was the role of the robot Casella in the action film Cyborg 2: The Glass Shadow. At that time there was no talk about fame yet, but the directors noticed a beautiful girl. Her first successful role was filming in “Hackers,” which, among other things, gave Jolie her first official husband, Jonny Lee Miller. They dated for three years, and after the wedding they lived for several months and separated.

During this time, Angie tried all known drugs and learned to relieve stress with alcohol. In her biography there was a place both for attempts and for cutting herself with knives. The latter, according to the actress, helped her transform emotional pain into physical pain, which is easier to deal with.

However, new offers, which literally rained down on Angelina very generously, saved her from stepping into the abyss. Worldwide fame, life under the spotlight and close attention from the paparazzi forced her to control herself. In 2005, co-starring with Brad Pitt in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith marked the beginning of their romantic relationship, which grew into a strong creative union. The actors decided to legalize their relationship only seven years later. Today Angelina loves, is loved and is happy!

Which became one of the most anticipated events of the year. And today I want to tell you some interesting facts from the life of Angelina Jolie, who was not always a role model and had a very turbulent youth.

1. From the age of 14 she lived in a civil marriage

According to the actress, she got her first experience of family relationships... almost in childhood: Angelina began living in a civil marriage when she was barely 14 years old! Moreover, the initiative to settle the daughter’s chosen one in her house came exclusively from the mother of the future star. Angelina was forced to remember her turbulent youth by a sad occasion - the actress gave an interview to the British Sun in memory of her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in 2007 at the age of 56. Talking exclusively about the bright moments of her childhood, Angie tried to explain what liberal views Marcheline held and how democratic she was in raising her daughter. But, apparently, I didn’t choose an example for illustration very well.
“One of my boyfriends lived with me at my mother’s house when I was just 14,” Jolie admitted. “It was the smartest thing my mother could have done because it meant we didn’t hang out in the park together.”
Angelina said that it was a real civil marriage - she and her young partner had a stable, almost marital relationship for many months. The fact that Angie was still going to school at that time did not bother her mother at all:
“We lived as a married couple for two years,” recalls the actress. “When I turned 16, I wanted freedom, and then I focused on work.
After Jolie graduated from school, she immediately began working and became fully immersed in her career. As Angelina admits, after breaking up with her first common-law husband, she did not date anyone for three years until she tied the knot with her first official husband, actor Jonny Lee Miller.

2. I haven’t communicated with my father for many years.

The actress's father, Jon Voight, learned about the wedding of Angelina and Brad... from journalists. Angie did not communicate with her father for a long time: she could not forgive him for leaving her mother. Now the Hollywood star’s relationship with her parent is more or less stable, although Jolie admits that it was not easy to establish contact.
- He communicates with the children, they see each other. I think that's right. Each of us has our own life, but we have made it a rule not to remember the past. When my mother passed away, I was the person who should have called him and told him everything. I wanted to write a letter since we hadn't spoken for about six years, but I knew I had to call. We talked for two minutes. I called not to support him, but to convey information. So it was a very short interaction,” she says.
Misunderstanding reigned for a long time between the Oscar-winning Hollywood actor and his equally famous daughter after John spoke in an interview in 2001 about Angelina’s “psychological problems” just before she was about to adopt her first child Maddox. It was Brad who convinced his beloved to try to forget past feuds and allow his grandfather to see his grandchildren.
- I've waited so long to hug my grandchildren! And these are the most beautiful and loving children you know, and I say this not because I am their grandfather, but because they really are! – Voight later said in an interview. “I worked all the time to get everything back.” Angelina just felt that the right moment had come to bring me back into her life.

3. A stormy youth almost brought her to the grave

Angelina once admitted that in her youth she was completely crazy. The actress decided to talk about her turbulent youth on Bob Simon's show 60 Minutes.
“I went through my worst, my darkest times and survived. I did not die young, and this is a great success - many artists could not bear what befell me. There were many reasons why I shouldn't be here right now. “I love risky ventures too much - walking on the edge, tempting fate - and often go too far,” the actress admitted.
According to the star, she often did the worst things in her life, but now she is done with it. Previously, the actress made shocking statements about her bisexuality, kissed her own brother, and wore a vial of the blood of her then-husband Billy Bob Thornton around her neck. Now she just likes to be an exemplary wife.
- I’m still a “bad girl” - I was and will be. This is part of me. It’s just that now I have Brad and... our adventures,” Jolie assured a few years ago.

4. Gave an interview on television while “high”

Franklin Meyer, a man who has been Angelina’s drug dealer for many years, burst out with shocking details from the actress’s life in an interview with Life & Style magazine and talked about her drug addiction. According to him, twelve years ago Jolie was high on coke during a television interview with the famous TV presenter Charlie Rose. Meyer claimed that she bought cocaine from him before and after the program, and on the show itself the actress was “caught.” Therefore, she behaved extremely unnaturally, jumping from one topic to another. And when Angelina was asked about the roles of drug addicts in films, Jolie answered with a blue eye that they became “part of her.” According to the dealer, he met the actress at a hotel in 1997, and she became his regular client. Angelina bought cocaine and heroin from him, and gave him about a hundred bucks at a time.
“She once told me: “I think I would really like to adopt a child.” I was shocked... Having just taken the dose, she's talking about adoption!
In 1998, the actress spoke openly about her addiction. But she emphasized that she “gave up” a long time ago. According to her, she tried everything: cocaine, heroin, LSD, weed, ecstasy. However, she quickly got tired of marijuana. The star didn't like feeling stupid and laughing all the time.
- I remember taking LSD before going to Disneyland. I began to think of Mickey Mouse as a middle-aged man who hated life. Drugs are dangerous, I quit it a long time ago,” Jolie said.
Later, the same drug dealer posted a shocking video online showing Angelina during her heroin addiction.

5. Tried to commit suicide and drowned out suicidal thoughts by cutting herself.

“Star” biographer Andrew Morton spoke about some shocking facts from the life of the actress, which are contained in his book “Angelina Jolie: A Forbidden Biography.” One of the unpleasant episodes for the star, made public by the writer, is that Angelina tried to commit suicide. The actress even hired a special person to help her give up her life.
“She had depression, suicidal thoughts, and she said that she hired a hitman to whom she was going to pay a kind of “fee” for her future murder,” Morton said on the Fox & Friends television show.
He also said that the star cut herself by sticking a knife into different parts of her body.
“She injured her neck, chest and thighs.” For most of us, this is wildness, but it helped free her,” he said.

6. Got high and posed naked

Drugs, a noose around the neck and a completely naked Angelina Jolie: eight compromising photographs of the actress were published several years ago by the American tabloid Star Magazine. In the midst of the promotional campaign for the new thriller "Salt", which Angie presents, wandering around the world, these piquant photos had the effect of a bomb exploding. Under the photo of the actress on the cover of the tabloid there is the inscription: “A night that Angelina would like to forget.”
A series of eight scandalous photographs of Angelina were taken in 1999 and have never been published before. In a black and white photo published on the cover of the tabloid, Angelina is shot topless, with a joint in her teeth and a black belt around her neck - either a collar or a noose. According to the source who sold the footage to the magazine, the photos were taken during a 14-hour party with heroin and marijuana. In other photographs, 24-year-old Angie appears even more relaxed. In one, the actress is completely naked, and only black tape, pasted crosswise, covers her nipples. On another, a naked Angelina sits on a bed, and the only toiletries she wears are a thong resembling ribbons and a cowboy hat.

7. Seduced her mother's boyfriend

Another fact in the actress’s biography, disclosed by Andrew Morton: 16-year-old Angelina had a short but very stormy affair with her own mother’s boyfriend. When Marcheline found out about this, she was terribly angry with Angie. This disagreement greatly cooled the relationship between mother and daughter and dragged on for many years. For many years, Jolie and her mother had virtually no contact.
- Marcheline lived with a man whom she loved very much. And Angelina seduced him when she was 16 years old - that is, barely graduating from high school, says the biographer. Her mother, having learned about this, broke up with her boyfriend and was mortally offended by her daughter. When Angie shared what happened with her brother, even James turned away from her. No one could trust her anymore.
Only over time, having settled down and had children, was Angelina able to truly understand her mother and become very close to her. The actress's mother died of cancer in 2007 at the age of 56. According to Angelina, she is still experiencing this loss incredibly hard.

8. Dated women

In her early youth, Angelina had many fleeting connections and many lovers. Despite the fact that Angie belonged to Hollywood's golden youth, her path to the heights of fame was not easy. The actress was ready for any, even the most scandalous experiments, just to gain a foothold on the screen. One of the star's early roles was the film "Gia", which was filmed for American television in 1998. 24-year-old Angelina plays the main character Gia Maria Carangi, the famous supermodel of the 80s who died of AIDS at the age of 26. Conveying the character of her eccentric prototype, Jolie had to participate in explicit filming: she acted completely naked and played erotic scenes not only with men, but also with women. The film itself was a great success, and Angelina even received the prestigious Golden Globe Award for it in the Best Actress category. In one of the most beautiful scenes in the film, Angelina kisses another girl, played by actress Elizabeth Mitchell (she later played Julia in the cult TV series Lost). In another, she boldly shows off her bare breasts (mind you, without an ounce of silicone). And finally, she poses completely naked in front of photographers' cameras.
Jolie herself did not hide her bisexuality. Even before her affair with Brad Pitt in 2005, in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, she admitted that she did not like to share a bed with slender women:
“Ever since I started dating women, I know what it’s like to hug a stick,” says the actress. - Thinness is not what you need when you turn out the lights.
In 2008, Angelina Jolie's former lover, 38-year-old Asian top model Jenny Shimizu, gave an interview to the British newspaper News of the World, in which she stated that the actress might leave Brad Pitt for a woman.
- Angelina is a wonderful lesbian lover. Even though she's expecting a child (two, as it turns out) with Brad, I doubt she stopped dealing with women after me: it's like a drug, and she's hooked on it,” Shimizu said. And one more thing: “Angelina loves danger and loves adventure. This is exactly what she lives for, and is not content with the role of an exemplary wife. She has a fabulous body. And her mouth delights me: she can do incredible things with her plump lips on every centimeter of skin.”

In 1996, Angelina Jolie starred with her lover Jenny Shimizu in the film Foxfire. In 1998, Angie will repeat her experience of explicit filming with women in the film Gia.

9. Broke Uma Thurman's family

Brad Pitt is not the only married man in Angelina's collection of boyfriends. A few years ago, it turned out that Angie was the reason for the divorce of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke in 2004. A close relationship between them began during the filming of the film “Taking Lives.” When the Kill Bill star found out about her husband's infidelities, she broke up with him and soon filed for divorce. True, the passionate romance between Jolie and Hawk did not last long, as Angelina also found out that he had cheated on her too - with Canadian model Jen Pertsov. Ethan Hawke once opened up on air on one of the American TV channels: in his interview, the actor said that Angie once turned his head with her innate sexuality.
“My best on-screen kiss was with Angelina Jolie,” he admitted. “When her lips touch yours, you forget your name.”
The idle reporter did not fail to ask about the details, namely, what was so unusual about Jolie’s kiss - lips, tongue or something else.
- Why is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a genius? – says Hawk. - Angelina Jolie was born to drive men crazy, to make them weak.

10. Had an affair with Mick Jagger

The author of the book “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The True Story,” Jenny Paul, spent six years collecting information bit by bit, scrupulously comparing facts and dates. Among those who supplied her with information were Angelina's close friend Texas Terry and her mother's ex-boyfriend Bill Day. Jenny Paul claims that Jolie had two hasty affairs with Mick Jagger. The first was in 1997, when the young actress starred in the Rolling Stones video for the song “Anybody Seen My Baby?”, and the rocker was still married to model Jerry Hall. The second - in 2003, then Angelina was married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller, and Jagger lived with his mistress Lauren Scott.

11. Angelina’s mother forced her to dye her hair from the age of four.

Angelina really suits her current hair color: it seems as if she has been brown-haired all her life. And her experiments with her hair, when she suddenly turned from a goldilocks bleached with perhydrol into a burning brunette, are now perceived as the mistakes of her youth. But it turns out that Angelina’s real hair color is blonde! As the actress admitted in an interview with the German magazine Das Neue, her mother forced her to dye her hair starting at... 4 years old. According to Jolie, her mother Marcheline Bertrand decided to change the color of her daughter's hair because she did not like the shade of Angelina's curls. Since then, Angie has had to use paint for 30 years.
“My real color is dark blond,” said the actress, “But when I was four or five years old, my mother dyed my hair dark and decided that it suited me better.” And since then I have been doing this constantly.

12. Had a nose job

Biographer Jenny Paul claims that Angelina had plastic surgery in her youth. Moreover, she did not operate on the lips, as many are sure, but on the nose, and also did laser correction on the eyes. But Angie’s plump lips are her own by nature – you just need to be convinced of this by looking at her childhood photos. And Jolie and Pitt’s daughter Shiloh, who looks like her mother like two peas in a pod, is also quite a mouthful.

13. Won the title of worst Hollywood mom

In 2012, Angelina Jolie, along with Christina Aguilera, was recognized as the worst celebrity mothers in the world. The American weekly Star in its new issue published a ranking of the worst and best parents. According to the editors of the publication, the best mothers are Hollywood actresses Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon. In turn, Angelina received the shameful title of the worst mother due to the poor nutrition of her children and their bad manners. By the way, the Jolly-Pitt family has repeatedly said that their children love to eat at McDonald's and prefer Coca-Cola for breakfast.

14. Called sex on the side “commonplace”

According to the film star, she is not against diversity in relationships if both partners do not object to it.
- I doubt that fidelity is absolutely necessary for family relationships. It’s better to have sex on the side than to leave your partner and then throw mud at him,” Angelina opened up in an interview with Das Neue Magazine. “Neither Brad nor I have ever argued that living together means that we should become each other’s property. We take care to never limit the privacy of each of us.

Last: 15. As a child I dreamed of being a funeral organizer

Angelina could well have gone into the funeral business if her career in Hollywood had not worked out. In an interview, the star admitted that as a child she dreamed of becoming a funeral organizer, as she was shocked by the burial of her beloved grandfather.
- It sounds like something strange, eccentric and even dark, but after losing my grandfather, I was really very upset by the way he was buried. When someone passes into another world, the family has to deal with funeral offices, which, in my opinion, should do everything differently,” the star admitted to the British tabloid Sun. – If my film business had not worked out, I would have gone into the funeral business.

In contact with

Could Angelina Jolie's parents have imagined that someday their daughter would drive all the men on the planet crazy? That their little girl will become the highest paid actress in Hollywood and a UN Goodwill Ambassador?

However, little Angie’s character was not at all angelic. Stubborn, withdrawn, with strange fantasies in her head and harsh statements. Maybe because she grew up without a father.

The father, the famous American actor Jon Voight, an Oscar winner, left the family when the baby was not even a year old. Or maybe the character of the future actress was influenced by her own elder brother James, also a desperate adventurer.

With dad and brother

Be that as it may, little Angie was too eccentric, and this worried her mother a little. She even signed up her daughter for treatment with a psychotherapist and school psychologist.

One day Angelina wanted to create a funeral service. The family had just lost their grandfather, and the girl didn’t like how the funeral went. In the future, the actress admits that if she had not gone to the movies, she would have started working in the funeral business.

But could the daughter of a great actor and actress pass by the wonderful world of cinema? After the divorce, her mother left her career, but constant conversations about filming, actors, going to the cinema together and heated discussions afterwards did not give Angie and her brother a single chance. They fell in love with this mysterious art and firmly decided to devote themselves to it.

The girl’s father, despite the divorce, invited the whole family to take part in the filming of the film “Looking for a Way Out.”

This was the girl’s first cinematic experience, which finally determined her choice of profession.

10 years

At the age of 11, Angelina entered the Lee Strasberg Film School. Thin, with long thin legs, with a gloomy look - who would have thought that this strange girl would be called the most beautiful actress on the planet? But then Angelina didn’t like her own reflection.

Wanting to have a model appearance, little Angie drove herself to anorexia and was hospitalized.

The modeling agencies where she sent her photo tests refused to take her and this led to complete despair. She hid behind dark outfits and dyed her hair bright red.

At school

In a fit of hatred, she stabbed herself with a knife, leaving cuts and scars. Later, the already adult Angelina will tell that these actions helped her feel alive and gave her a sense of freedom.

Angie's first love came at the age of 14.

Marcheline's mother, knowing her daughter's stubborn nature, made a difficult but wise decision. She allowed the young man to live in their house. The lovers lived in a civil marriage for two years. The revealed sexuality and femininity could not go unnoticed. Modeling agencies took notice of the young talent, and Angelina began working at shows in Los Angeles, New York and London. She participated in the filming of music videos and in her brother’s experimental films. I had to part with my first love (the guy didn’t really like playing with a knife). The girl was surrounded by social parties and drugs.

As the actress later admitted, she tried all types of drugs: cocaine, heroin, LSD, marijuana.

“It’s a blessing that I didn’t die young,” Angelina will remember.

The actress will receive her second Golden Globe for her role as Gia in the film of the same name, and the third for her role as Lisa Rowe in the film Girl, Interrupted.

The same role brought her an Oscar.

And after the film “Lara Croft - Tomb Raider,” Angelina becomes the unofficial sex symbol of the entire planet.

Working on Lara Croft changed Angelina herself. Filming took place in Cambodia, and for the first time the girl saw how third world countries live. Hunger, poverty, refugees, orphans - the actress was so shocked that she turned to the UN committee and began active charity work. She visited dozens of countries on a humanitarian mission, for which the UN recognized her as a goodwill ambassador.

U Angelina has six children. Of these, three were adopted and three were biological.
