The one question posed to Angelina Jolie by a hitman that ultimately proved to be life-saving has been made public. The 49-year-old actress has talked in the past about a period of her life when she thought of paying a stranger to murder her. Angelina clarified that she believed her family would cope with her passing more easily if they believed she had been killed rather than having committed suicide herself.
Angelina Jolie Was Close To Losing Herself
“This is going to sound insane but there was a time I was going to hire somebody to kill me,” she stated to IMDb in 2001. Later, in 2003, she talked to The Face about how she tracked down the hitman, saying, “They’re not that hard to find in New York. As insane as it sounds, I think a lot of people consider suicide when they’re young.”

A Depressing But Ingenious Plan
“I was very aware that so many people around me, like my mother, would feel as though they didn’t give enough or do enough, if I’d taken my own life. So my solution to that was if someone else had taken my life – like in a ‘robbery’ – then it would be murder and it wouldn’t be that anyone would feel they’d let me down.” Jolie clarified that she had planned to take out little amounts of money from her account rather than a huge sum all at once. That would avoid any suspicious trails.

The Hitman Gave Her A Second Chance
But when the hitman she was planning to hire posed the question that would ultimately save her life, everything changed. “He was a decent enough person and asked if I could think about it and call him again in two months,” she stated. “Something changed in my life and I figured I’d stick it out.”
Angelina Jolie Never Looked Back
Jolie, of course, went on to become one of the most well-known figures in Hollywood. She currently shares six children with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt: Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and the twins, Knox and Vivienne, 16 years old. Pitt and Jolie got to know one another while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Even though they were wed in 2014, the couple declared their separation in 2016.
Her Daughters Look Up To Her
Shiloh, their daughter, has petitioned the court to formally remove her father’s last name. She is the sister of 15-year-old Vivienne, who was recently given credit as “Vivienne Jolie” in the musical The Outsiders. Zahara, her 19-year-old older sister, likewise seems to have unofficially abandoned Pitt as her last name. She went by Zahara Marley Jolie when she first joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in 2023. It’s unclear, though, if Vivienne and Zahara have formally renounced the Pitt surname.
