At the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, Angelina Jolie shared some introspective thoughts on her country and the current global climate. During a press conference for her new film, “Couture,” in which she plays an American filmmaker facing a cancer diagnosis, Jolie expressed her unease with the current state of affairs in the US.
When asked about her fears as an artist and an American, the actress paused, then responded, “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country.” She emphasized her international upbringing and worldview, expressing concern over anything that “divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms.” Jolie stressed the gravity of the current times, urging caution in casual conversations.
These comments come amidst reports that Jolie is planning to sell her Los Angeles home and move abroad once her youngest children, twins Vivienne and Knox, turn 18 next year. Jolie has previously spoken about her desire to relocate, citing the need for privacy for her six children.
She has indicated a particular interest in spending more time in Cambodia. A source close to Jolie suggests that the move is imminent, stating that she “never wanted to live in L.A. full time” and only remained due to custody arrangements with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
The divorce, finalized last December after a lengthy legal battle, seems to be a factor in Jolie’s decision to seek a fresh start elsewhere. While the move marks a significant change for Jolie and her family, it appears to be a step towards the peace and privacy they seek.
Jolie’s lawyer emphasized her focus on “finding peace and healing for their family” after the tumultuous divorce proceedings. Sources close to Jolie maintain that she remains focused on her children’s well-being and advocating for positive change through legal channels, rather than public pronouncements.
