Angelina Jolie Recalled Losing Her Will to Live at 19, Hired a Hitman to Plan Her Own Murder
Angelina Jolie, too, was the victim of these mental health issues.
The actress who we all love and adore, went through a horrible period in her life during the early days of her career.
While Angelina Jolie has made it exponentially big in the industry today, there was a time when she was ready to give her life up.
In order to do so, she went to the lengths of even hiring a hitman to kill her, as she didn’t want to commit suicide.
Early on in her career, things were not going great for Angelina Jolie. She suffered from mental health issues for quite some time, often contemplating committing suicide.
Reportedly, her first suicide attempt was when she was only nineteen.
In an interview with The Face, Jolie opened up about how things got so bad once that she decided to hire an actual hitman to take her life. However, the hitman became the person who made Jolie rethink her decision and give life another chance.
Jolie stated that she knew the effect her suicide would have on her family and friends, and she didn’t want them to go through those horrible, self-blaming emotions.
Jolie even went into the details of her plan where she decided to “take out cash over a certain amount of time” so people would not find it suspicious seeing such a huge sum sent to the guy who almost took her life.
Jolie has time and again played strong, bold characters in her films. And as it turns out, it was these characters that gave the actress the strength to feel strong.
