Hollywood star Angelina Jolie attended the New York Film Festival, where she presented her film “Maria,” about opera singer Maria Callas. After the premiere, she was spotted on the street, kindly approaching fans who had patiently waited for her for several hours outside her hotel.
One man handed Jolie a poster featuring her with her ex-husband Brad Pitt. The photo was taken during the promotional campaign for the 2005 film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” where the actors fell in love on set. Brad had divorced his wife Jennifer Aniston, and in 2006, Pitt and Jolie stopped hiding their affair.
Despite her rivalry with Brad, Angie remained composed—she signed the poster next to the image of her 60-year-old ex. Jolie maintained a neutral expression while signing the rolled-up poster, which still clearly showed part of Pitt’s face.
In “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” the actors played two spies whose chemistry is complicated by the fact that they have been assigned to kill each other. The film was a box office success and caused a global scandal when it became known that the two main characters were just as drawn to each other off-screen as they were on-screen. Fans worldwide split into “Team Jolie” and “Team Aniston,” with debates and speculations about the Hollywood love triangle continuing to this day.
Jolie, the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, claimed she did not have a romantic relationship with Brad before his divorce from Jennifer. “Being close to a married man when my own father cheated on my mother is not something I could forgive. I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who cheats on his wife,” Jolie expressed.
Angelina and Brad split in 2016 following a scandal on a private jet. Since then, they have been involved in prolonged legal battles over child custody and property division. The stars have six children: 23-year-old Maddox, 20-year-old Pax, 19-year-old Zahara, 18-year-old Shiloh, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
After the premiere in New York, the “Maleficent” star decided to stay in the city. She was seen taking a walk with her son Pax, and they stopped for lunch at Rubirosa in Soho. Jolie opted for a total black look, pairing an ankle-length dress with a stylish trench coat. The outfit was completed with stiletto heels made of soft suede, a large handbag with a silver chain strap, and sunglasses.
Pax wore a white t-shirt, black jeans, a gray coat, and white sneakers. His look was finished off with dark glasses and a faux fur ushanka hat. The young man tries to keep his face covered following an accident he was involved in on July 29. Pax crashed his motorcycle into a car and is still recovering while preparing for plastic surgery to remove facial scars.
