Jolie was born into an entertainment family as the daughter of actors Marcheline Bertrand and Jon Voight. She credited her mother for helping her find the inspiration to begin acting and not her father’s successful acting career. The star started acting at age 7 when she starred in Looking To Get Out.

Jolie broke into the limelight when she began appearing in music videos in the ’90s, such as ‘Stand By My Woman’ by Lenny Kravitz and The Lemonheads’ ‘It’s About Time. She, however, got her acting breakthrough with the film Gia playing the supermodel Gia Carangi.

Her acting prospects improved when she won a Golden Globe for her performance in George Wallace in 1997 and Gia. She briefly abandoned acting as she felt she had nothing more to give but returned in 1998 with Playing by Heart alongside Ryan Phillippe and Sean Connery.

The following year Jolie appeared in Girl, Interrupted in a supporting role playing a mentally ill patient. Although Winona Ryder was the lead actor in the film, Jolie stole the show with her performance, and the film cemented her name in Hollywood.

It wasn’t until Jolie appeared in 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider that she became an international star. Her role in the film warranted that she learn the English accent and undertake rigorous martial arts training. Jolie reprised her role in the Tomb Raider sequel in 2003. She undertook unsuccessful projects such as Life Of Something Like It and Original Sin but found her footing later.

She went on to appear in blockbuster hits like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Wanted, and Changeling. She also lent her voice to the Kung Fu Panda franchise. In 2014 Jolie returned after a three-year hiatus with the widely successful Maleficent, which grossed $757.8 million.

Jolie reveals her skincare secrets

Women’s Health Magazine compiled a list of all of Jolie’s skincare secrets, and they are fantastic. Jolie’s dermatologist once told Refinery29 that the star understands the effects of the sun on her skin and is “so good about using sunscreen.” Jolie also knows how to balance her makeup by picking one feature and playing with it.

For the star, her go-to features are her full lips, which she prefers to brighten. Although Jolie’s looks have served as inspiration for some women who have gone under the knife, the star herself said she hadn’t gotten anything done to her face. However, she occasionally does laser treatments to get rid of dark circles on her face.

Jolie also believes in using quality makeup and removing it at the end of the day. When she travels, the actor takes with her a chemical-free antioxidant screen and glycolic acid pads that help keep her pores clean, appear small, and even out discoloration.

Jolie has been linked to various high-profile men throughout her career. However, none took the world by storm like her relationship and marriage to fellow A-lister Brad Pitt. The two got married in 2014 after dating for some years. They, however, got divorced in 2019, citing irreconcilable differences.

Since then, Jolie’s dating life has been under the wraps until recently when she was spotted having lunch with crooner Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd. Although the nature of the lunch is yet to be confirmed, many people have jumped to the conclusion that the two celebrities might be dating.
