In an upcoming interview with “60 Minutes,” Angelina Jolie says the wild child part of her persona — the one that wore a vial of then-husband Billy Bob Thornton’s blood when they were married and who shared a strangely intimate kiss with her brother at the 2000 Academy Awards — is not completely gone, the New York Post reported.
“I’m still a bad girl,” Jolie says. “I still have that side of me. It’s just in its place now. It belongs to (current partner) Brad (Pitt).”
Jolie’s words conjured up images of heated bedroom play, but she quickly clarified, “To our adventures.”
The 36-year-old may be a mother of six and a film director now (her movie “In the Land of Blood and Honey” opens on Dec. 23), but the actress still feels deeply connected to her troubled past.
“I went through heavy darker times and I survived them,” Angelina admits. “I didn’t die young, so I’m very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn’t survive certain things.”
When pressed about the “darker times,” Angie laughs it off. “I was hoping you’d miss that!” she says. “Nothing I want to go into a lot of detail about, but I think people can imagine that I did the most dangerous and I did the worst — and for many reasons I shouldn’t be here.”
She adds, “You think of those too many times where you came close to too many dangerous things, too many chances taken too, too far.”
