44-year-old actress Angelina Jolie has opened up on the difficult times she has had the past few years after divorcing her long-term husband Brad Pitt, and how she has been able to pull through.
The American humanitarian and filmmaker called it quit with Brad Pitt in 2016 after 12years of being together, two years of being married legally and producing 6children together. She had also had two marriages with Billy Bob Thornton (m. 2000–2003), Jonny Lee Miller, both of 3years each before she got on with Brad.
While speaking with E! News, the actress noted that she was able to pull through her difficult times by consistently pushing herself. She added that the roles she took in movies also pulled out her strength, reminding her of how strong she needed to be. “I’m like everybody and especially these last few years haven’t been the easiest, and I haven’t felt very strong.

There’s something when you’re not feeling very strong, where you push yourself. I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to play these kinds of characters, that pull out every bit of strength I have and that remind me that I can be strong“, she said.
