Angelina Jolie Says She Stopped Singing After An Ex Criticized Her Voice
HuffPost
The "Maria" star said a former partner was “not kind" about her singing.
Angelina Jolie recently admitted that some searing words from a past partner made her question ever singing again.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Friday, the Oscar winner revealed that she was hesitant to sing in the new biopic “Maria,” where she portrays influential opera singer Maria Callas, because an ex shared some harsh opinions about her voice.
“It was an out-of-body experience because I don’t sing,” Jolie said of rediscovering her voice in the forthcoming film. “I had somebody in my life who was not kind to me about singing. It was a relationship I was in. And so I just assumed I couldn’t really sing.”
“I’d been to theater school, so it was weird that it even had an effect on me,” she continued. “I just kind of adapted to this person’s opinion. So it took me getting past a lot of things to start singing.”
Jolie didn’t specify which one of her exes complained about her voice, but the actor was famously wed in several high-profile marriages.
