Angelina Jolie stepped out in Paris on Sunday after she spoke about how she was in a 'dark and difficult place' over the past two years after splitting from her husband Brad Pitt. The actress, 44, - who split from Brad, 55, in September 2016 - hadn't been on screen in four years when she returned to shoot Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. And Angelina admitted it took her some time to 'feel the strength' of the dark fairy once again. 'The last few years have not been the easiest, I have had my ups and downs, I haven’t felt very strong so, there’s something when you are not feeling very strong where you push yourself,' she told The Sun. Angelina continued: 'We all have our difficult times, it's very ­similar to my character in the film, my strength is from my children, I didn’t work, the kids needed me at home.Anyone who is a parent knows there is a strength within you that grows when you just have to survive anything to be strong enough for them and you have to pull them through anything.' Angelina added fame is not important to her children and that they like to lead live a relatively normal life.  Angelina and Brad married in August 2014 after 10 years together but Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016.A judge granted them both legal single status while finalizing their divorce.The former lovebirds have agreed on a custody agreement for their kids and are currently sorting out property and finances, specifically who gets Miraval, their French winery and the place they tied the knot.According to The Blast, Brad filed documents to the court asking to appoint a private judge to enable their discussions to continue, a request the star agreed with.The LA County Court agreed, as long as the pair paid for the judge's time themselves, and a stipulation order was put in place to 'Extend Appointment of Privately Compensated Temporary Judge.'  She previously told Madame Figaro magazine her split from Brad was 'a complicated moment' and that she 'didn't recognize herself anymore.' Angelina said the moment when her 'relationship was coming to an end' was when she 'had lost' herself a bit.On the separation: 'I felt a deep and genuine sadness, I was hurt,' and that she felt 'smaller, almost insignificant, even if it wasn't necessarily obvious.
