Angelina Jolie makes surprising remarks about Hollywood: 'Not a healthy business'

Angelina Jolie made surprising remarks about Hollywood as she shared insights into her career in industry, saying, "as it's not a healthy business."

In an interview with Variety, the Maleficent actress gave a key piece of advice to young artists on how to maintain balance between work and their lives.

She shared that a girl once asked her advice, to which she told her that "often stress that it's really important to live a very full life."

"There's a lot to focus on just having a career - if you love theatre, you can do readings at home in your pyjamas. You don't have to get that job.”

“Find the ways to just live as an artist, be around artists, but also live a very full life. It's sometimes not a healthy business," Jolie continued.

Moreover, the 49-year-old actress highlighted the hardest side of career, she said, "It's not the easiest place, and it's not where you should give everything if you're living a full life."

Referring to her role as opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical movie, Jolie told the publication, "I had somebody once tell me I couldn't sing or be a little dismissive when I was singing once, and it really shut me down.”

"I never told anybody, but it was part of my life that I just blocked. Then when (Director) Pablo (Larrain) asked me to do this and asked me if I could sing, I lied."

Before concluding, the Oscar winner said, "'Can you ride a horse?' 'Yes.' Obviously, nobody can sing like Maria. No one. But I'll do my best."
