Jolie had a meltdown while working on film
Angelina Jolie suffered a “complete meltdown” while making In the Land of Blood and Honey. The star had a breakdown one day while she was in the shower while trying to get the film, which is her directorial debut, off the ground, and had to be comforted by her partner Brad Pitt.
She told fans in a web chat, “I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad found me crying. I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small and, who am I to take this on? I had a complete meltdown.”
Angelina, who wrote as well as directed the love story, set against the backdrop of the brutal Bosnian war, admitted she never set out to take on so much of the project and doesn’t really see herself as a filmmaker.
She added, “I didn’t plan to become a director, and I still have trouble saying I’m a director. I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up by default being the director. It was a pleasure but I wonder if it would be a pleasure with another cast and crew, and a subject matter that wasn’t so special.”
