Aibu to love Angelina Jolie?

[Gonzales27]

Just listening to her on radio 4 (she was guest editor in radio 4 this morning) and think I'm becoming a total fan girl.

I've never really known much about her other than the crazy headlines in the past but she seems so intelligent, thoughtful and seems to have dedicated her life to women's rights. Am I missing something or is she just amazing!

Can't believe I've spelled her name wrong !

• [Note from MNHQ: We've corrected it for you!]

I think that she is beautiful and interesting, although I would not be interested in seeing her in any of the films she has made.

Shes an actress op.

Shes an actress op

Like her or not - she is so much more than an actress. Being an 'actress' - (surely just 'actor' would do?) is not a bad thing is it?

Her interview with the Congolese obgyn doctor was difficult to listen to, but I salute her using this platform to alert people to what is going on.

She also shags married men.

I switched the radio off.

Thanks boatyard, I'll look that one out.

I've never paid much attention to the tabloid stuff before. This morning she did mention being wild when she was younger. Was it just brad Pitt or was she a serial adulterer? Still if she has dedicated her life to good causes that could help thousands then I'd be inclined to get over that.

Not enamoured with her parenting practices but nobody is one thing or the other, if she's doing good then that's good.

Mike uniform did you switch off when you heard it was her? What were your reasons if you don't mind me asking?

Blythe, what parenting practices, can you fill me in?

Transing her daughter, basically. But I do t follow her life closely so that's the extent of my thoughts on the subject.

She also shags married men.

Like 15 years ago. But we just blame the woman right?

Get a grip. None of us know the details of what really went on because we were not part of either relationship.

But in your eyes no matter what good you do for anyone else it doesn’t count if you might have made a mistake 15 years ago. That mistake must constantly define who you are.

Blythe oh no ! If that's true then that would be enough for me to instantly drop my fan girl status. Shame, she seemed so inspiring!

No. I switched it off because I didn't want to listen to such reports. I think it was the bit about the child being forced to eat his murdered parent's flesh that did it.

I suppose admire might be a better choice of word.

I’m always a bit puzzled how people can profess their love or hatred for someone they’ve never met.

Sorry OP, I’m a bit grumpy, what with the gazillions of Meghan Markle threads.

What did transing her dd mean?

She’s ok, but suffers from a morals deficiency (Trollop) though let’s be honest nobody knows her we simply know her carefully crafted public image.

Have you seen Malificent? There is a scene when a man did sonething awful to her, and the way she cried went into my heart. She really shone in that film. It is worth watching.

I think she's an intelligent woman but comes across to me as cold. She also has said she finds it harder to love & bond with her privileged biological children than her adopted children. Plus she says her eldest who is just 16/17 as her "closest confidante" during her divorce...that one now refuses to have anyhting to do with Brad (which is clear from the court custody papers). She also told her other adopted boy (can't be bothered to Google his name) that Brad never wanted to adopt him (though Brad's reasons were they had just had newborn twins so it wasn't the best time to adopt another child).

Yankee, I've just googled it and it looks like she (and brad) are allowing Shilo to take puberty blockers and are open to her having surgery. That's not something I personally agree with.
