Angelina Jolie shocked shoppers at Blick Art Supplies in Hollywood when she was spotted shopping there this weekend. The Maria star, 49, also hit up once-trendy Melrose Avenue to go to a vintage T-shirt store. Jolie looked radiant in a tan Christian Dior trench coat with a bit of her beige dress peeking out from underneath.She paired the classic look with brown, pointy-toed pumps and sunglasses as she left her highlighted hair down and straight. The Maleficent actress smiled and was left to herself by respectful shoppers as she browsed. As Jolie receives accolades and award nominations for her role as Maria Callas in her latest film, she revealed how it is the first job she's been able to give her all to in several years.In a Vanity Fair interview, She talked about Maria and the on going stresses that made her go 'very dark' and led to years of a hiatus from acting, which appeared to coincide with her messy and on-going divorce from Brad Pitt. 'I went very dark for reasons I’d rather not explain, but I didn’t have a lot of light and life within me. Your lights dim. I also just needed to be home more, so I couldn’t commit large periods of time to pieces,' she told the outlet. 'The choice of what to work on and when was not a creative choice, often, the last few years, but sometimes the practical choice,' she continued. 'Really, I think Maria was the beginning of starting to come alive again. 'I needed a lot of kind people around me to hold my hand,' Jolie explained, adding, 'We’ve all been with terrible people in our life, where it’s hard to do your work because you feel emotionally vulnerable and then you feel like it’s being used in the wrong way.' The Oscar winner has been through a lot in the last eight years of her very public and publicized split from Pitt. 'Brangelina' became a couple in 2006 and tied the knot in 2014, before their shock split in 2016, which triggered a bitter feud in the courts over child custody and their property. The former couple share three biological children — Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — as well as their adopted children Maddox, 23; Pax, 21; and Zahara, 19. Since their parents' bitter split, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne have all dropped Pitt as their last name. It has been reported that Maddox and Pax do not talk to their father - while it is believed that Knox and Vivienne still confer with the Fight Club star. The star's latest emotional revelation comes just days after she opened up about feeling lonely. 'I have my children I love but as an adult I'm often alone, I find myself identifying with the solitude and loneliness she has,' she told The Sun, referring to Maria Callas. 'I also haven't quite figured out how to live life in a way where I'm on my own, maybe a lot of artists feel that we're in an open space as a person.' The former A-List couple — who split eight years ago with Angelina accusing Pitt of abuse — are in the midst of an acrimonious legal battle for their French vineyard. Jolie recently scored a major legal victory against Pitt after a judge ruled that he must hand over documents and communications which could prove he was abusive towards the actress and their children. The ongoing dispute has seen the feuding exes attack each other in legal filings ever since Pitt sued Jolie in 2022 for selling her stake in their Chateau Miraval estate, which produces an award-winning sparkling rosé. Angelina's next project is the independent film Stitches, for which she is taking on the challenge of learning to speak French fluently, as the film is being shot in both English and French.As Jolie receives accolades and award nominations for her role as Maria Callas in her latest film, she reveals how it is the first job she's been able to give her all to in several years. She plays Maxine in the upcoming movie about Fashion Week. Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand was of French Canadian descent and may have taught her daughter conversational French, though it is not clear how well she spoke it. Stitches is currently filming in Paris and is scheduled for release at some point in 2025. The film is being directed by Alice Winocour, and plot details are being kept under wraps.

Months of just getting the singing down and then the Italian classes and then the voice and doing all these things like her. You try to be precise,' she explained. 'I would recommend almost every human being take an opera class. To exist and never have sung with your full body as loud as you could possibly sing...'

Angelina Jolie confirmed the morbid career that she had studied in the past before her success as a movie star. The Maleficent actress, 49 - who recently debuted a new bird tattoo on her arm at the 2024 Gotham Awards on Monday - opened up about the topic on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. In a special preview ahead of Thursday's episode, the SNL alum told the star, 'You're an incredible actor, but I saw some things online.'I was wondering if I could ask you if these rumors are true of other careers that you might have had. I'd be interested to see if any of these are real.' After Angelina said she was also 'interested' to hear the rumors, Jimmy asked, 'First of all, is it true that prior to acting you were studying to become a funeral director?' The Oscar winner simply replied with, 'Yes,' before humorously adding, 'Doesn't it make sense though?'In regards to why she was initially drawn to the career, Jolie recalled, 'My grandfather died, and I remember thinking this is not how they should be. 'This should be a celebration of life. And since I'm not afraid of death and I was comfortable with it, I thought, "This would be a great career path for me... I could, like, make this better. I could do a thing here.' Fallon agreed with the actress by saying, 'We need more people like that,' and Jolie added, 'It's my fall-back career now.' Jolie's appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday will be her first late night show in 10 years. The mother-of-six previously discussed wanting to be a funeral director during an appearance on 60 Minutes back in 2011. At the time, the star expressed, 'It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral.' 'How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn't work out that was going to be my path.' Jolie has been keeping busy while promoting her upcoming Netflix biopic, Maria, which is slated to become available on the streaming site on December 11. The film was directed by Pablo Larrain - who is behind other projects such as Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). Along with Jolie, other stars that have been cast in the film include Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer and Kodi Smit-McPhee. In August, the biopic first premiered during the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion.
The premise of the film is: 'Maria Callas, the world's greatest opera singer, lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, as she confronts her identity and life,' per an IMDB synopsis. In October, the official trailer for Maria was released - and quickly ignited Oscars buzz among fans. During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Angelina talked about her children Maddox and Pax helping out on the film, Maria, as production assistants. The star notably shares Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, as well as twins Knox and Vivienne, 16, with Brad Pitt. The pair married in 2014, but filed for divorce in 2016 before being declared legally single in 2019. However, Angelina and Brad are set to head to trial next year amidst a legal battle over their French vineyard. 'They were able to consider the relationships in the film and the violence - things that sometimes you don't have the opportunity to discuss with your sons, so I felt fortunate.' And while previously speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in August, she further reflected on her kids having the chance to gain experience on set. 'Mad and Pax were on this one. Doing AD [assistant directing] work. They've done that quite a few times, and I think that's good for them,' she stated. 'Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and [director] Pablo was wonderful and recognized that he was good at it.' Angelina also revealed the reason why she decided to step back in front of the camera - and explained that she didn't need to be home as much for her kids. 'They're a bit older, getting more independent. I'm less needed and so able to go away for different periods of time.' She added, 'And they're old enough to join me at work. It's a new season in our lives. I'm very excited for them to be coming into their own more and more every day.' While also talking to The Times, she revealed that she is getting 'better work' in Hollywood as she has 'gotten older.' 'I don't think about it in terms of roles offered but in terms of life experience you contribute. It's easier for actors than singers or dancers because your body doesn't change.'
Jolie then expressed that she disagreed with Maria Callas' views on aging but praised the late opera singer's 'commitment' to her passion. 'I'm a hard worker. And a deeply feeling person. Maria is vulnerable because she feels and isn't sometimes able to protect herself from the loneliness or emotional pain. Because it's part of her life and work to be extremely human and live that way.' The actress added, 'You live through your communication with the audience. For Maria and for me that has always been extremely important.' As Jolie prepares for the official release of the film on Netflix, she is also amidst an ongoing divorce battle with ex Brad Pitt. The actor was recently ordered to hand over documents that could prove he had been abusive to Jolie and their children. It came shortly before a source told Page Six that Pitt 'is missing his kids and wishes he had a closer relationship with them, particularly with celebrating the holidays and his birthday this month.' Pitt - who is currently in a relationship with Ines de Ramon - will celebrate his 61st birthday on December 18. And on Wednesday, a separate insider informed DailyMail.com that Brad is 'begging his twins' to be with him to celebrate. The source added he 'loves his kids and it would mean the world to him to have them spend his special day with him.' 'But it is not looking so great so far. Some of the kids still talk to him, some do not. It is very tricky.'
