Angelina Jolie has come out in defense of free speech and lamented that she does not 'recognize' the United States anymore.The actress, 50, made the remarks while promoting her new film Couture at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain.'Anything, anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms, I think, is very dangerous,' Jolie said. Speaking about the political turmoil in the US, Jolie said that these are, 'very, very heavy times'.'I don’t, at this time, recognize my country,' she said. I’ve always lived internationally. My family is international . My life, my world view, is equal [and] united.'I think these are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually. So I’ll be careful in a press conference… But these are very, very heavy time.'Jolie turned heads in a black plunging gown as she posed on the red carpet during the Couture photocall.The actress has long been outspoken about political and international issues, but her latest take about the US rapidly sparked passionate reactions on the internet.One X user wrote: 'I'm so glad she's not a part of this country since she lives internationally away from it.'Another disagreed: 'She's absolutely correct.'A third said: 'Nobody of intelligence cares what she thinks or feels. She's shown her true self.'Jolie was previously a special envoy for the United Nations' refugee aid agency between 2012-2022 and worked with the organization since 2001.In 2018, the actress hinted at a move into politics - saying that she would 'always go where I am needed.'Jolie said: 'I don't know if I'm fit for politics ... but then I've also joked that I don't know if I have a skeleton left in my closet.'She pointed to her work with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner.'I'm also able to work with governments,' Jolie added. 'So I sit in a very interesting place of being able to get a lot done, without a title and without it being about myself or my policies.'The 50-year-old visited the White House in September 2021 to support the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.Two years later, the Oscar winner joined then-US president Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden for a state dinner honoring the president of South Korea.Jolie had denounced Donald Trump's policies during his first administration.She wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times: 'We must never allow our values to become the collateral damage of a search for greater security.'Shutting our door to refugees or discriminating among them is not our way, and does not make us safer.'Jolie's father, Jon Voight, is known as one of Trump's biggest supporters in Hollywood.He was captured celebrating Trump's election win against Kamala Harris at a party alongside Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.Trump awarded Voight with the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal in his first presidency.Voight previously criticized his daughter's support for Palestine in comments to Variety: 'She has been exposed to propaganda.'She's been influenced by antisemitic people. Angie has a connection to the UN, and she's enjoyed speaking out for refugees. But these people are not refugees.'

Angelina Jolie To Star In ‘Anxious People’ For ‘A Man Called Otto’ & ‘World War Z’ Director Marc Forster, Hope Studios & Black Bear — Cannes Market Hot Project

Details: Published on Saturday, 03 May 2025 15:28; Written by Deadline

Oscar winner Angelina Jolie is set to star in the feature adaptation of hit Scandi novel Anxious People for A Man Called Otto and World War Z director Marc Forster.Based on A Man Called Ove author Fredrik Backman’s novel, the film is being launched ahead of the Cannes market by Black Bear and Hope Studios with the former handling international sales and WME Independent handling domestic.The uplifting comedy, set on the day before Christmas Eve, sees investment banker Zara (Jolie) begrudgingly find herself mingling with a group of strangers at an open house. When a reluctant bank robber inadvertently takes the group hostage, chaos and oversharing ensues, secrets are revealed and literally nothing goes according to plan. The movie is described as being “about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined…Through an ingeniously constructed story, Anxious People explores the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope — the things that save us, even in the most anxious times.” The movie will reunite some of the key players behind the 2022 feature adaptation of A Man Called Otto ($110M global box office), also based on Backman’s novel. Hope Studios’ Fredrik Wikström Nicastro (A Man Called Otto) and Renée Wolfe (A Man Called Otto) of 2DUX2 will produce, with Forster, Magee and Neda Backman executive-producing.Netflix made a Swedish TV series version of the book back in 2021.Maleficent, Girl, Interrupted and Tomb Raider actress Jolie was a Tony winner last year for producing on Broadway musical The Outsiders. She most recently starred in Pablo Larraín’s Oscar-nominated biopic about Maria Callas and directed First They Killed My Father. Forster’s credits include Monster’s Ball, which earned Halle Berry an Oscar, Finding Neverland, The Kite Runner, James Bond film Quantum of Solace, World War Z, and A Man Called Otto.“Fredrik’s novels speak to our shared humanity in a way that really moves audiences, and we’re proud to be able to deliver another heartwarming and hilarious adaptation of his work”, said producer Wikström Nicastro. Forster described the story as “filled with humor, heart, chaos, and unexpected hope.”Producer Renée Wolfe added: “Anxious People is a uniquely warm and heartfelt story that speaks to our chaotic times by asking us to step outside of our own stories and slow down enough to actually see one another. It is set a week before Christmas and highlights a time when generosity and giving are values that are more in focus. Sometimes funny, sometimes dramatic and always entertaining, Anxious People is a book that has sold over 6 million copies world-wide and, with Angelina Jolie playing the lead and Marc Forster directing, will surely prove to be a movie that will captivate millions more.”
