‘I don't strive to be balanced and perfect'

The 46-yearold actor stars as superhero Thena in Marvel Cinematic Universe's ‘Eternals’

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie says she’s someone who questions herself a lot but as she gets older, she has come to embrace her emotions and vulnerabilities as parts that make her more human and empathetic. The 46-year-old actor, who stars as superhero Thena in Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ‘Eternals’, said her character in the movie is somewhat similar to who she is in real life and that was one of the reasons for her to board the Chloe Zhao-directed multi-starrer movie.

“I’m somebody who questions herself often, and I don’t walk around with con fidence that I’m ever good enough or strong enough,” Jolie said in response to a question during a roundtable interview.

“But I’ve come to see as I’ve got older that those parts of me that are very emotional and vulnerable are also what make me very real and in tune to my children or in tune to someone else or a stranger to be empathetic. And to have my own parts that are broken... I hope it’s made me a better person. So, I don’t strive to be balanced and perfect,” the two-time Academy Award winner further said.
