10 things you (maybe) didn't know about Angelina Jolie

1/ EARLY - Born in Los Angeles on June 4, 1975, Angelina Jolie is the daughter of an actor, Jon Voigt, and an actress, Marcheline Bertrand (who, after her divorce, put her career on hold to take care of of his children). Angie made her debut in front of the camera at the age of 6. She gives the reply to her father, in the film Lookin' to get out (released in 1982). An opportunity for her to finally spend some time with her dad, whom she will meet again a few years later in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

2 / AMBITION - As a child, she spent a lot of time having fun with Vladimir, her lizard, and Harry Dean Stanton, her snake. But if she loves to clown for her family, her dream, when she grows up, is to be an undertaker. At school, Angelina is part of a gang of girls nicknamed "the Kissy Girls". Their mission: chase the boys and kiss them until they scream!

3 / REBELLE - At 14, she rebels, gets depressed and no longer wants to go to school (she then experiences her "Gothic" period). Her mother, Marcheline, invites her boyfriend at the time to come and live with them. Just to be able to watch them. He just took… her virginity.

4 / CONTRACT - Angelina Jolie often has dark thoughts and thinks of committing suicide. In order not to be like everyone else, she decides to call on... a contract killer. They talk for a long time on the phone, and he gives her a month to think about it. She doesn't remember him.

5 / BEGINNINGS - At 16, after returning to high school, Angelina began to earn a living by modeling and appearing in video clips: we can see her in Rock'N'Roll Dreams Come Through, by Meat Loaf, Anybody Seen My Baby by The Rolling Stones, Did My Time by Korn but she missed the audition for Stand By My Woman, by Lenny Kravitz.

6 / FUNNY COUPLE -1996. Angelina Jolie, 21, marries English actor Jonny Lee Miller, her co-star in the movie Hackers. The bride is dressed in black leather pants belonging to Jonny, and a white t-shirt with his name scrawled on the back... with his own blood! The couple divorced two years later but remained on good terms.

7 / THIEF - 2000. A few days after being released from the psychiatric hospital (where she was admitted following a nervous breakdown), Angelina Jolie marries Billy Bob Thornton. He is twenty years older than her, and they met on the set of Aiguilleurs. It is in Las Vegas that they unite their destinies, the ceremony costs them 100 €. Laura Dern is appalled. She was the one who was supposed to marry the actor…

8 / WEIRD - Sign of affection between Angie and Billy Bob: each wears around their neck a small vial containing the other's blood. "My husband's blood is the most beautiful thing in the world", explains the actress at the time... Angelina's wedding anniversary gift to Billy Bob: she acquires two burials in her man's native Louisiana. Yes, they were supposed to rest side by side ad vitam eternam.

9 / CHEATED - Angelina Jolie divorces, tired of her husband's infidelities. It must be said that he does not find anything better than to deceive her with the sex therapist who was supposed to cure him of his addiction.

10 / SACRE - Nominated for the Oscars for her performance in Girl, Interrupted, Angelina travels back and forth between Mexico, where she is filming Original Sin, and Los Angeles, where the ceremony takes place. Back in the early morning, she goes back to bed and is woken up by hired mariachis to congratulate her on having won the statuette. As for the members of the film crew, they are all waiting for it with a rose in their hands.
