Hollywood’s ace actress Angelina Jolie recently admitted that she now feel like an older woman, and somehow that has created a problem for her in preparing for Maria.
In an interview, The Tourist actress admitted that she is 49 years-old and have started to feel like an older woman.
“I’m 49. I do feel like an older woman now and I embrace that.”
Her latest film, Maria, required a lot of singing as she depicted the role of a famous opera singer. Preparing for the role was difficult for her.
“When I was younger, there were certain pieces of music and certain sounds that matched what I was feeling: I was falling in love, or I was curious about this, or whatever I was going through”, she told Indie Wire.
Director Pablo Larrain revealed earlier that the Malificent actress had to do get extensive training to get into the shoes of opera singer Maria Callas.
“She had to train for a long time. She trained for over seven months. There’s breathing, there’s posture, there’s accent.”
In the age, the Oscar-winning actress is, it made it difficult for her to reach to a certain note and follow the melody.
“She sang in Italian and French, but mostly Italian. There’s what in music is called the pitch, which is the capacity to reach each note and follow the melody, and that was very challenging for her.”
However, hard work does seem to pay off as Maria is now hearing the Oscar buzz, with Angelina’s roles getting special attention.
