Angelina Jolie is known for her unparalleled beauty and sense of gravitas, along with career-defining performances in films like Girl, Interrupted and Maleficent. Her journey through the industry is multifaceted, and even though she is often praised for her otherworldly looks, the actress’ charitable and kind nature is what sets her apart from everyone else.
Her humanitarian efforts and unconventional approach to helping people in need have earned her the reputation of an altruistic human being. But accounts from different people suggest that she’s just as authentic when it comes to her work.
Angelina Jolie has no publicist, her magnetic aura is enough
Many have met Angelina Jolie and shared how they felt intimidated by encountering her in person, and for all the right reasons. In a candid YouTube video, journalist Kjersti Flaa described her first meeting with Jolie, where she was awestruck by the actress’ beauty and stoic demeanor.
The thing is, with Angelina Jolie, which makes her different from most Hollywood stars, is that she doesn’t even have a publicist. She’s doing all that herself. She doesn’t have anyone that tells her what to do and not what to do. So I think also that gives her this authenticity.
She exuded the persona of a mystique, but counterintuitively, she was also warm and thoughtful. Jolie shared stories about her children and her responses were more direct and authentic, which didn’t seem like she was being managed by a publicist or media team, that encouraged celebrities to give more cookie-cutter answers.
Angelina Jolie’s humanitarian efforts and her legacy beyond the screen
Angelina Jolie is undoubtedly a global superstar who has earned a lot of acclaim for her work in the entertainment industry. But her humanitarian efforts are a true representation of the beautiful soul she is. The actress is a UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) special envoy and has actively participated in causes that support refugees around the world (via CBS News).
She is involved with many conflict zones such as Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and seems adamant in wanting to bring a meaningful difference in the lives of people who are affected by war and poverty. But her humanitarian contributions are not just limited to showing up at camps, as she also uses her influence to shed light on multiple global issues.
She has visited Syrian refugees in Jordan, and promoted SA prevention during G-8, using her voice to bring change. For all these efforts, she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, cementing her legacy as not only a Hollywood star but also a leading figure in global advocacy.
