Angelina Jolie tragically admitted she considered hiring a hitman to kill her.
The actress, 47, has been open about her mental health issues throughout her life, including a time early in her career when she had suicidal thoughts so severe she felt the need to hire a hitman to take her own life. side bible.
According to reports, the “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” star first attempted suicide at the age of 19. But when she turned 22, she hatched a plan to end her life in a way that her family would be able to better understand, or so she thought, by hiring a hitman to kill her.
In an interview with The Face, Jolie explained how guilt was one of the determining factors in considering seeking a third party to perpetrate her death.
She told the media: "Hitmen for hire in New York are not that hard to find."
"As crazy as it sounds, I think a lot of people consider suicide when they're young," Jolie said.
She continued: "I was very aware that so many people around me, like my mother, would feel like they hadn't done enough if I had taken my own life."
"So my solution to this was if someone else had taken my life - as in a kind of 'robbery' - then it would be murder and not cause others to experience disappointment."
The actress made it as far as authorizing the hitman's contractor, but surprisingly, it was the hitman himself who convinced Jolie not to take her own life using the unorthodox method.
She said: "He was quite a nice person and asked me if I could think about it and call him back in two months."
"Something changed in my life and I realized that I was going to do this," admitted Jolie.
The actress' battle with mental health didn't end when she decided to cancel her contract with the hitman, but she has been able to address her diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in recent moments.
Last year, the "Eternals" star told The Times: "I've had a very blessed life, but I've had my challenges. I've had PTSD."
"You often feel that feeling of being broken and wondering what you are capable of doing, and worrying that you are not able to be enough to protect and care for those you love." /Telegraph/
