Angelina Jolie On Losing Her Mind While Filming The Bone
Collector
Jolie had a rich experience while filming The Bone Collector
which was a mix of feelings. The Tourist actress played the role of Amelia
Donaghy, a cop that was on a journey to search for a serial killer. The
world-famous actress shared that she had to go through a wide range of
emotions while filming the movie, as she felt that her fictional character
began to interfere with her real-life personality. The Changeling actress
added that she began to question herself during the filming of this movie.
“This one was less extreme but nearly drove me insane
because she was so insane inside. Sometimes with the extreme ones, you’re
a character so you are free; this one was like: Be yourself, let those
tears fall, be simple, and be still. You can’t hide. Sometimes it can be
harder. It was really lonely and I went a bit nuts.”
The Changeling actress added that she began to question her own self
during the filming of this movie.
“From the beginning, I felt as if I was not capable of doing this, of
leading a film and being responsible for this, of physically handling
this, of saving a life and going in there and being a cop. It was just all
those things by yourself: Am I good enough, am I worth anything, really,
on a spiritual deep level? You start to get into those things and this is
what she had to go through, and then get through it”
On this journey of feelings and emotions, Jolie’s
one particular statement made several headlines. The Gia star shared the
screen with Denzel Washington while filming The Bone Collector. Angelina
Jolie stated that she enjoyed her character seducing Washington’s character
in the movie as her character relied on the mind rather than beauty.
“Of course, it’s more than that. What’s fascinating are the
journeys these two characters undertake, and the deep relationship that
evolves between them. The best s*x I ever had was in this movie. It was
great seducing someone with your mind, a huge turn-on.”
Jolie’s comment highlights the emotional toll that
making movies can take on actors. It is well-known that actors often immerse
themselves in their roles, and this can be both physically and emotionally
exhausting. Jolie’s experience shows that sometimes, the intensity of the
experience can be exhilarating.
