Fans of Angelina Jolie criticize the star’s ‘unappealing’ Vogue Mexico cover: ‘She appears genuinely unhappy!’
Many of Angelina Jolie’s fans were disappointed by her recent Vogue Mexico cover, with some claiming the actress appeared ‘sad.’
The 49-year-old actress graced the December issue of the magazine, where she discussed confronting her ‘private pain’ and hinted at her split from ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60.
Jolie and Pitt separated after a controversial incident aboard a plane in 2016. In the interview, she shared how portraying opera legend Maria Callas in an upcoming biopic helped her process the emotional turmoil.
The cover, captured by photographer Dan Martensen, showed Jolie in a black Christian Dior dress, her downcast expression and flowing brunette hair giving off a melancholic vibe.
Fans quickly took to social media to criticize the ‘unflattering’ image, with one commenting, ‘She looks so sad here, like she received terrible news just before stepping onto the set.’
On the other hand, some viewers appreciated the unfiltered nature of the image.
«I love the idea of Angelina Jolie on the cover. At least her face wasn’t overly retouched like so many other magazine covers!» one fan shared.
In her interview, Angelina discussed her latest role and how opera allowed her to explore «deeper parts of myself.» She revealed that learning to sing helped her tap into a new side of herself.
«I had to take a deep breath and let everything out, and in that process, I also had to unleash my true voice… which I hadn’t really discovered, because it’s where I carried my private pain, my vulnerability, and many things I didn’t feel I had control over or was safe enough to express. It was also about confronting things I wasn’t ready to face,» she explained.
She shared, «I never fully realized how much we carry within our bodies—how everything we go through in life impacts us and ultimately shapes our voice and sound.»
«And I’m not just referring to the audible aspect of our voice, but to our authentic voice—the way we truly communicate with one another.»
