Angelina Jolie talks The Changeling and acting as therapy. Interesting point about being the only A-list female star to have never done a romantic comedy. (NY Times)
Grief hit Ms. Jolie hard — and led, oddly, not to “Changeling” but to “Wanted,” a blood-splashed, R-rated comic-book adaptation in which she gives what she wryly called “my Clint Eastwood performance” as a ruthless, almost superhuman gunslinger who utters barely two dozen lines.
“I knew instinctively that I needed something before ‘Changeling,’ ” she said. “I was depleted. I was in a state of just wanting to pull the covers over my head and cry about my mom. It was just too much. For me, there have been times when an action movie, even a ‘Tomb Raider,’ has helped me get out of myself and be physical again. It’s like therapy.”
Ms. Jolie, who says she doesn’t particularly like to watch her own work, hasn’t seen “Wanted.” The film has grossed more than $300 million worldwide. “I’m glad it worked out,” she said with a smile.
