Why did Angelina Jolie hire an assassin to kill her?
The actress told the site The Face, in 2003, that while struggling to improve her mental health, she began to think about suicide with some frequency. She even commented that she even hired a hitman to kill her. The decision was made so that people around her would not carry a sense of guilt.
“I was aware that many people close to me, like my mother, would feel that they didn't love me or do enough to stop me from taking my own life,” she explained at first.
“So my solution was to have someone else kill me, like a robbery. That way it would be murder and it wouldn't be anyone's fault and no one would think they let me down."
You have no idea who made the actress drop the idea
Angelia Jolie said finding a hitman in New York wasn't difficult. With the money in hand, she contacted a “professional” who refused to do the job. “He was a decent enough person and asked me to think better of calling him after two months,” she recalled.
After some time, Jolie changed her mind. “Something changed in my life, and I managed to resolve myself,” she underlined. In the same interview, the actress revealed that she was only able to feel more psychologically stable after becoming a mother.
