To not get what the fuss is about Angelina Jolie

Apart from the fact that she sounds like those cartoon ballerinas Grin.

Never seen her in a film, 'cos the films she makes don't really appeal to me. Same with her husband, Mr Pitt I believe.

She's attractive, but in a normal sort of way.

She now says she doesn't want to be an actress anymore.

And is also sniffy about London "mansion tax", lol.

I'm just not getting the non-news about an averagely attractive actress truth be told.

I'm sure she's a fine person and good luck to her, but why she is on the news as if she was some latterday Mother Theresa, is beyond me.

My husband is meh about her. His true object of desire is Lady Grantham.

Attractive in a normal sort of way Shock

where do you live

I do not think she is a good actress and has been in some good films. She is extremely beautiful (hopes she gives up botox for a while) and very very sexual. Most importantly she has done some amazing humanitarian work and she seems far more genuine than many actors and also comes across as interesting and interested in other people

not sure about all the men I know but ones who have spoken about her have found her very sexually attractive

I've never liked her. Let's face it she was an OW and went out with Brad when he was still Married to JA. I could have no respect for somebody like that I'm afraid. It will all end in tears when she goes off with the next man who takes her fancy. IMHO. She is just so big headed and full of herself.

She also stole Billy Bob Thornton from Lara Dern. Yes, she's very average looking.

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/11/2014 22:21

Didn't Jennifer Aniston nab her current bloke off his partner of over a decade?

While we're chatting OW and not respecting them...

SinglePringle · 28/11/2014 22:31

I think she's incredible looking - in that, she's got such an unusual face. And as per the PP, my jaw hit the floor at the description of her as 'cookie cutter'! So far removed! Katherine Jenkins? Holly Willoughby? Cookie cutter and practically interchangeable. There is only one Angelina!

Plus I agree with all comments re her charity work. Rape in war is not a popular subject to champion... Seems like a great mum too. Unfortunate that Brad did the dirty on Jen with her but I get the feeling theirs really is a great love affair and sometimes people do marry the wrong person...

That photo above, however, does show quite how much weight she's lost in recent times. Brad recently spoke about the hard and difficult time she had been having - hope she's on the road back as she looks great in that photo.

Hi Rachel Jennifer Grin

superstarheartbreaker · 28/11/2014 22:34

She's a stunner.

ThePinkOcelot · 28/11/2014 22:36

Personally, I don't think she's attractive. Seen prettier girls walking along the street.

HelloitsmeFell · 02/12/2014 13:01

I think she is beautiful in a glacial, slightly other worldly way. She is undoubtedly very beautiful and yet I don't find myself drawn to gazing at her, nor do I find her particularly pretty if that makes sense.

The people I find mesmerising to look at are Monica Bellucci, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Kristen Scott Thomas. Sophie Dahl and Sienna Miller are ludicrously pretty, but the one I have to most ridiculous girl crush on is Christina Hendricks. I just don't know how it's even possible to be that beautiful. I could stare at her for hours.

NoImSpartacus · 02/12/2014 13:42

Angelina Jolie, yeah proper minger OP Grin

AJ is breathtakingly good looking ! My ex used to say she was so beautiful she was almost freak like compared to the rest of humanity. He was one for hyperbole but I have to agree with him, she is a great beauty and I find her fascinating to look at. Not bothered about her movies tho, I find her a bit boring as an actress.

But average she aint.

She looked amazing as Lara Croft. I have no idea if she's ill or what now but I don't think she's anywhere near as attractive any more. I think she is beautiful but not attractive. Something about her leaves me cold. I used to like Brad but not as keen, partly because he is aging a bit but I think I also subconsciously dislike the affair and the subsequent denial then the 'careless' comments that revealed that actually there was an affair. Yes, Brad broke his vows and should be ashamed but as someone else said it's not like Angelina couldn't have known he was married. If Jen has gone on to do the same then she should also be ashamed.

I do feel sorry for Jen insofar as she can seemingly never escape the link to them. There is nothing she can say or do to stop it being brought up and that must drive her crazy.

It's great that Angelina does charity work. Good for her for speaking out on some of the issues she has raised previously. Fair play if she wants to start a political career although no 'normal' person could expect a political career after admitting to drug use, the weird blood vials, the brother snogging and the affairs.

railwayworker · 02/12/2014 13:53

Disclaimer: she is far more beautiful than me and I'm well aware she couldn't give a tiny shit about my opinions on her looks or career. Equally, I don't exactly spend hours mulling over how I feel about her!
