Angelina Jolie is promoting her latest movie, "Maria," in which she portrays opera diva Maria Callas. In a recent interview, she opened up about her relationships with other people. Naturally, she didn't miss the chance to jab at her ex-husband, whom she has been battling in court for nearly ten years.

Angelina Jolie doesn't have a large circle of close friends. She confessed this during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the ongoing festival in Venice: "I don't really have those kinds of relationships. Maybe it's losing your parent young. Maybe it's working," she admitted. It's hard not to associate these words with her ongoing conflict with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. They are fighting over children and property, and the actress accuses him of violence and alcohol problems.

"I don’t have a lot of those warm, close relationships as much that I lean on. But I have a few, and a few is enough. Loung is one of my closest friends. My mother was very close to me. I lost her," said the Hollywood star.

Angelina Jolie can't leave Los Angeles

Despite challenging experiences, Jolie values spending time with loved ones and finding joy in simple things like watching television together or ordering Thai food. The actress eagerly anticipates when her youngest children, twins Vivienne and Knox, reach adulthood. She then plans to leave Los Angeles, a city that has been her home due to... legal regulations. The divorce agreement with Brad Pitt included a clause that their children must remain in Los Angeles until they are of age. Jolie doesn't hide that she desires more privacy and peace for her family, which is far from urban life.

What are her plans? In the interview, she revealed that she plans to travel worldwide (she especially loves Cambodia, where her son Maddox was born).

Brad Pitt was also present at the festival in Venice, but the organisers went to great lengths to ensure that the two did not have to meet. Their film premieres were held several days apart. Brad Pitt promoted his "Wolfs" with a new girlfriend by his side.
