Angelina Jolie relished getting 'pretty beaten up' while making Those Who Wish Me Dead.The 45-year-old actress plays no-nonsense firefighter Hannah in the survival thriller and despite being best known for action movies, she enjoyed the fact her character was much grittier and more down-to-earth than the roles she has played in the past.'There's nothing about this character that trained in martial arts or did anything special. I get pretty beaten up through this,' the Oscar winner explained. In the film she has to wear a 70lb firefighter suit at times.And playing an expert smoke jumper - the name given to specially-trained firefighters who parachute into the blazing wilderness - gave the brunette beauty more respect for firefighters the longer filming went on.She told Entertainment Weekly magazine: 'The first day we were in the fire, [I noticed] the heat and how quickly the winds would change and how quickly the fire would suddenly take to a tree that you weren't expecting.'Our respect just grew day after day for these people on the front lines and how difficult this work is.'While Angelina has been acting since she was just seven years old, she believes her decision to turn to directing in recent years has improved her performance by giving her a new perspective.She explained: 'In very technical terms, I'm more aware of what the director needs, and what other challenges they're facing, and how many different pieces are moving.' And as a result, she had a lot more patience and appreciation for the difficult stunts and set pieces in the movie.She added: 'Maybe when you're younger and you're having a huge day where you have to be cold and wet and emotional and crying, you're thinking about those things.'Now you've directed and you're older, and you realize that while you are going to be freezing and crying, there's also pyrotechnics going on, or multiple other situations. It pulls you out of yourself.' In the same interview she insisted it was 'not possible' for her to direct after getting divorced.Th star - who has Maddox, 18, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with former husband Brad Pitt - 'loves' working behind the camera but has found the shorter schedule of acting projects has been better for her family life since her marriage came to an end in 2016.She told Entertainment Weekly magazine: 'I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that's not made it possible for me to direct for a few years.' 'I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That's really the truth of it.'And Angelina couldn't suppress her maternal instinct on her latest job, playing no-nonsense firefighter Hannah in thriller 'Those Who Wish Me Dead' as director Taylor Sheridan had to call her out for being too nice on camera to Finn Little's character, Connor Casserly, who her alter ego was tasked with protecting.Angelina said: 'My character is not maternal by nature. Sometimes Taylor would correct me because my behaviour towards a child was different from [Hannah's] behaviour towards a child. It took me a little bit to treat [Little] badly, but I got there!'The By The Sea filmmaker previously admitted she thinks she's 'lacking' in the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home parent.She said in February: 'I was never very good at sitting still. I feel like I'm lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home mom. Even though I wanted to have many children and be a mom, I always imagined it kind of like Jane Goodall, traveling in the middle of the jungle somewhere. I didn't imagine it in that true, traditional sense.' The film hits theaters and HBO on May 14.

Rose Leslie Worried Angelina Jolie Wants To ‘Steal’ Kit Harrington?

Is Rose Leslie concerned Kit Harrington is getting too close to Angelina Jolie? That’s what one tabloid was claiming this time last year. Gossip Cop wants to check back in on the rumor.Has Angelina Jolie Set Her Sights On Harrington? Twelve months ago, the National Enquirer reported that Kit Harrington and Angelina Jolie were getting cozy on the set of their new movie, The Eternals. According to the article, Jolie had been on the prowl, and Harrington was “just her type.” Of course, the alleged flirtation was causing problems for Harrington’s wife, Rose Leslie. The article claimed Jolie and Harington were spending too much time on the road to promote their new film, and the whole ordeal was making Leslie uncomfortable. Not because Leslie didn’t trust Harrington, but rather because Jolie concerned her. The article spoke at length about Jolie’s reputation as a man-eater, drawing back on the old story of Jolie stealing Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston. According to the piece, now that she and Pitt were separated, she was looking to wreck a new marriage. This time, she had set her sights on Harrington.
Jolie Is Not Pursuing Harrington.So, was Jolie really causing problems in Harrington and Leslie’s marriage? Absolutely not. The claims were obviously a work of fiction. Besides the source being exclusive to an unverifiable “insider,” it omitted the fact that covid struck, delaying the release of the film. Harrington and Jolie have done no press tours because the film isn’t slated to release until November of this year. Filming wrapped up a year ago, and there have been no reports connecting Jolie or Harrington since.Furthermore, Harrington and Leslie have not been having problems. On the contrary, Leslie recently gave birth to a baby boy, and the Game of Thrones alums seem happy as ever. It seems this is another of the tabloids’ attempts to assassinate Jolie’s character and is not based in fact at all.
The Tabloids On Jolie.The tabloids have made ridiculous claims about Jolie before. The tabloids love to go after Jolie’s divorce from Brad Pitt. They’ve made claims that Jolie is using her kids to torment Pitt. Furthermore, they love to characterize her entire love life as a homewrecker struggling to catch a man. Clearly, the tabloids get tired of the facts when reporting on Jolie, and like to spice things up with lies.

The Rock, Angelina Jolie or Matthew McConaughey? 63 percent of Americans believe a movie star would make a good president

Hollywood and American politics, it’s a great story. Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump are just a few examples of celebrities who have held political office. In the upcoming US presidential election, incumbent President Joe Biden will be 84 years old. Speculation about his succession has been high since his election victory.A Piplsay survey of more than 30,000 Americans showed that 46 percent of Americans would like to see The Rock as President of the United States (USA). In fact, 58% thought a joint nomination from The Rock (President) and Matthew McConaughey (Governor of Texas) would be a good idea.Angelina Jolie leads the women’s world rankings. 30 percent of Americans would welcome her as president. Oprah Winfrey followed, at 27 percent. According to a recent The Economist poll, the incumbent president has lost his popularity. For example, he is expected to fight for the unification of the Americas (Democratic / Republican). Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, and more recently Barack Obama have been successful to some extent, with support for 68, 66 and 68 percent, respectively, as opposed to just 57 percent for Biden. Trump can count on the least support during his tenure (45 percent).In short, this is all speculation. Of course, the most important thing is the ability of Hollywood stars to legitimately engage in politics. 63 percent of Americans believe that Hollywood stars would be good politicians “if they had political capabilities” or “if they had a good team around them.” 25% believe the opposite.Nice detail: Young people are less like movie stars than politicians. Only 30 percent of Generation Z (1997-2010) thought movie stars would be good politicians. This percentage increases to 35% in Generation Y (1984-1996).

Angelina Jolie finds herself in a race against time in a heart-pounding first official trailer for her upcoming film Those Who Wish Me Dead.The 45-year-old plays a survival expert in a forest who comes along a blood-spattered boy (Finn Little) whose father has just been murdered.She becomes the child's protector as his father's murderers attempt to hunt him down - eventually starting a raging wildfire to smoke him out.The murderers who are related to each other are played by Tolkien actor Nicholas Hoult and Aiden Gillen who played Littlefinger on Game Of Thrones.In a flashback the little boy - who is called Connor - is seen in a car with his father until they are gunned off the road causing a disastrous wreck.His father manages to get Connor out of the car in time but he himself is stuck there when the killers Patrick and Jack Blackwell arrive.While Connor is haunted by memories of his father's death Angelina's character Hannah cannot shake her guilt over her handling of a previous wildfire.As clips play of the catastrophic event her voice-over says softly: 'I read the wind wrong - I should have gone to them.'Hannah is assigned to a fire tower and looking out with her binoculars when she spots Connor wandering through the woods alone.She has to chase him down and tackle him in order to ascertain 'where the blood's coming from' only for him to reveal: 'It's not my blood.''Are you in trouble?' she asks him in a later scene and he shares: 'My dad said if anything happened I should find someone I can trust. Are you someone I can trust?' Meanwhile Jon Bernthal plays a sheriff whose boss - played by Tyler Perry - orders him: 'We promise absolutes. Act accordingly.'One night Hannah and Connor are hiding in the fire tower and the Blackwells show up outside guns blazing and ready to kill again.Hannah catches sight of them out the window with her binoculars and Connor identifies them as his father's murderers.Once they start shooting Connor and Hannah have to make a mad dash out of the fire tower and go on the run through the wilderness.Aidan's character Jack throws a stick of dynamite into the woods in order to 'give 'em something else to worry about' - a rapidly spreading and seemingly unstoppable fire.The flames are seen tearing through the woods at shocking speeds such that the people in their vicinity are scarcely able to outrun them.Hannah first catches sight of the inferno from afar and by that time it has already engulfed what appears to be multiple acres of woodland.'Listen, you're gonna run and you're gonna keep running,' Hannah tells Connor in a moment of desperation adding that the fire 'eats everything in its path.' To the percussive strains of the Johnny Cash song God's Gonna Cut You Down the duo are seen trying to escape the killers and the fire all at once.In one bloodcurdling moment Connor is seen in tears as one of the Blackwells draws a knife and asks Hannah: 'You really wanna die for this kid?' During another hair-raising sequence Patrick is seen advancing through a building with a gun as Connor tries to hide under a bed.Hannah and Connor are glimpsed running at breakneck speak downhill through the woods as the inferno follows just behind them.Eventually they wind up floating in a body of water but even that location is not protection enough for them.'Take a deep breath, hold it and lay back!' Hannah shouts before she and Connor submerge themselves completely - with her keeping a grip on his hand.Directed by Sicario writer Taylor Sheridan the movie is slated for release on theaters and for a month on HBO Max beginning May 14.In addition to writing such films as Hell Or High Water he has acted on Sons Of Anarchy and directed the acclaimed 2017 crime drama Wind River. The movie is adapted from a 2014 novel of the same name whose author Michael Koryta adapted the script with Taylor and Blood Diamond writer Charles Leavitt.In a recent People interview Angelina said Hannah 'carries a lot of guilt, and is quite broken.

She's fun on set and very easy to work with. She is nurturer on and off set. She's lovely. I was so lucky!'
