Actress reveals she's 'grateful to be alive'
In recent years, actress Angelina Jolie seems to have done a 180: She's gone from rebellious bad girl to humanitarian and family woman, complete with a lot of kids, a gorgeous partner (Brad Pitt), a slew of interesting Hollywood projects to keep her busy for years to come, and a role as a UN Goodwill ambassador. But all of us who wonder if she's still got that 'bad girl' streak in her need not wonder anymore: Yes, she says it's still there, but only a little bit.
In a very candid interview on CBS' 60 Minutes the 36-year-old Jolie talks openly about her life now - and her life back then. You know, back when she was running around wearing vials of blood around her neck and cavorting with bad boy Billy Bob Thornton. It's hard to remember, I know, but think back: It'll come to you.
Angelina Jolie is, without question, one of the most beautiful women in the world (really people, love her or hate her, you've got to concede that right?). But beneath that stunningly gorgeous exterior, things haven't always been calm and all Earth-motherly. Jolie's publicly admitted to extreme risk-taking behaviors, including jumping out of airplanes. She also admitted to being a cutter. Now, what does the mom of six say about this behavior? She says she's thankful she's still around.
Angelina Jolie tells 60 Minutes, "I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things." The rest of the world is glad you survived, too, Angelina. And what of her so-called "bad girl" streak? Jolie says, "I'm still a bad girl. I still have that side of me, adding, "It's just in its place now... It belongs to Brad."
Sounds to me like she's managed to finally integrate all of the (fascinating) parts of her (did I already say 'fascinating') personality. At 36, Jolie is well on her way to becoming the successful woman she's longed to be since her childhood: Fun-loving, yet stable and satisfied with life.
