Before becoming a sensation on the big screen, Angelina Jolie worked as a swimwear model.
Angelina Jolie, who is going through a divorce from her estranged husband Brad Pitt, is a well-known face in Hollywood. Despite her current focus on her humanitarian work and raising her six children, Jolie had dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry long before she became a global sensation. Recently discovered photos from a 1991 photoshoot show a 16-year-old Jolie modelling a satin-sheer pink bikini, flaunting her modelling skills and trademark plumped lips. Interestingly, her skin was devoid of any tattoos, unlike her current iconic look.

Angelina Jolie is known for having more than 12 tattoos, covering almost the entire upper back. Despite her short-lived career as a teen model, it proved to be advantageous for her acting career.

Angelina Jolie, a native of Los Angeles, California, has always had a passion for acting. Her career began as a child star in 1982 with her appearance in Looking’ To Get Out alongside her father, actor Jon Voight. At the age of 21, Angelina tied the knot with her first husband, actor Jonny Lee Miller. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 2000. Later that year, she married Friday Night Lights star Billy Bob Thornton, but they too parted ways amicably in 2003. Two years later, Angelina started dating Brad Pitt after meeting him on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith, an action blockbuster.
In 2014, the couple tied the knot after being together for nine years. They exchanged their vows in front of their six children. However, in 2016, they announced their split. Angelina discussed their separation with Vanity Fair in an interview last year. She emphasized that despite their divorce, they both care for each other and their family. Angelina also expressed her concern about not wanting her children to worry about her like she did for her mother when she was young. She believes it’s crucial to keep a brave face in front of her kids and to cry in private. Angelina wants her children to feel reassured that everything will be okay even when she is uncertain.
