Angelina Jolie’s most well-known role as the lead character was in the Tomb Raider franchise, where she played the daring adventurer Lara Croft. Despite being based on the popular video game and generating a lot of hype, the movies failed to achieve outstanding box office success. On the other hand, Jolie’s Maleficent films have been incredibly successful, grossing over $1.2 billion between them. The movies are adapted from Walt Disney’s classic animated film Sleeping Beauty.
Angelina Jolie starred in the movie Maleficent, portraying a fairy who was initially kind-hearted but transformed into a vengeful character due to deception from her lover, Stefan. She ended up cursing Stefan’s daughter, Aurora, as a result of her revenge. The actress delivered an outstanding performance, and Elle Fanning did an equally great job playing the Disney princess. Interestingly, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Jolie’s oldest child, was offered the role of young Aurora but declined the offer.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the daughter of famous actress Angelina Jolie, recently turned down the opportunity to work alongside her mother in the movie Maleficent. The film centers around a mother-daughter relationship, with Jolie playing the character of the evil fairy from the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty. However, in this adaptation, the character is portrayed as being much more complex and sympathetic, with a strong emphasis on her transformation from victim to villain to hero, driven by her maternal instincts. Despite the opportunity to work with her mother on this unique project, Shiloh ultimately chose not to participate.
Angelina Jolie had originally considered her daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, for the role of young Aurora in the movie “Maleficent”. However, Shiloh was not interested in the part and even joked about wanting to play a horned creature instead. When it came time to film, Shiloh was also reportedly bored and not in the mood, leading producers to find an alternative. Eventually, Jolie cast her younger child, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, for the role. While Shiloh did not appear in “Maleficent”, she has acted in other Hollywood movies.
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, at the mere age of two, made a brief appearance in her father Brad Pitt’s movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” as Caroline. She also provided the voice for Shuai Shuai in “Kung Fu Panda 3” in 2016, along with her siblings Zahara (Meng Meng) and Knox (Ku Ku), as their mother Angelina Jolie took on the crucial role of Tigress in the highly anticipated project. Disney+ now offers “Maleficent” for streaming. Furthermore, Clint Eastwood was credited for Angelina Jolie’s pregnancy after working with her on a $113 million movie.
