But few people know how Angelina Jolie was in her childhood and what she had to go through before she became world famous.
Early years of the star
The famous Hollywood actress was born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles into an acting family. Father, John Voight, at that time was a fairly sought-after actor, and my mother, Marceline Bertrand, could not boast the same popularity, but was a wonderful actress. Angelina Jolie in her childhood did not know her father's love. Her parents divorced when the baby was not even a year old. Voight simply threw Marcheline with the baby in her arms because of the strong passion for women on the side. Having taken Angelina and her older brother James, the mother decides to take them to New York and takes full care of the children, leaving her dream to become a famous actress.
Despite all resentment, the father invites his six-year-old daughter to star in his film “In Search of a Way Out”. Apparently, the need for money leaves the family no choice, and they willingly accepted such a tempting offer. After all, Jolie starred in the film along with Marcheline.
By instilling an interest in cinema for her children, Marchelin often took her children to the cinema, and this, according to Angelina, prompted her to choose a profession. Angelina Jolie, who had a lot of negative moments in her childhood, peered with pleasure at the actors' play and dreamed of being in their place.
Difficult school years
When Angelina was eleven, the family returned to their native Los Angeles. Thanks to her eccentric nature, Jolie never ceases to amaze her mother with unexpected actions. She decides that a funeral home can be a great business idea. But no one supported her ideas, considering this a childish tomfoolery.
After such ideas, Anji goes for treatment to a psychotherapist and school psychologists. Teachers considered her a real sociopath because of problems in relations with peers. But this does not prevent the future Hollywood star from enrolling in Beverly Hills High School. But soon, big acting ambitions are waning. Angelina is plunged into real depression due to her non-standard appearance and bullying by classmates.

Fortunately, she was diagnosed with the first stage of anorexia in time and underwent treatment, after which she changed her eating habits.
First love

According to Angelina, her mother came to such a decision and allowed her and her boyfriend to take a room in their house. This cohabitation lasted two years, until the lovers broke up. Remembering this, Angelina fully supported her mother's decision, calling it reasonable. But the star herself understands that 14 years is too young for a life together, and she would never have allowed her own daughter to bring the guy into the house.
The reasons for the separation were numerous cuts on the body of Angelina. Since childhood, Jolie had a very strange hobby - collecting knives, with which she subsequently cuts all over her body. Due to the constant depression and bullying of peers, Jolie “drowned out the pain”, inflicting a huge number of cuts on herself. According to the celebrity, this allowed her to feel like a living person and relieve stress. The young man simply could not stand such actions on the part of his beloved and left her.
