I had lost myself a bit, Angelina Jolie during split with Brad Pitt

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie lost herself a bit and was unable to recognize herself, after the divorce with Brad Pitt.

London: Actor Angelina Jolie opened up regarding the divorce with Brad Pitt. She said that she lost herself a bit and revealed that she felt a deep and genuine sadness when the duo fell apart.

While talking to a renowned magazine, Angelina told, “I don’t know what my fate holds but what I am convinced of is that I am in a period of transition, as a return to my roots, a return to myself. Because I had lost myself a bit. I think it happened as my relationship with Brad was coming to an end, then at the beginning of our separation."

“It was a complicated moment, where I didn’t recognize myself anymore, where I had become … how can I say … smaller, almost insignificant, even if it wasn’t necessarily visible. I felt a deep and genuine sadness, I was hurt,” the 44-year-old actor added.

Maleficent actor feels that the hurt helped her in reconnecting. "This humility and even this insignificance I was feeling. Maybe this is what being human is in the end," she said.

Pitt and Jolie first met in 2004 and dated for 10 years before tying the knot in 2014. The two Hollywood stars decided to part ways in 2016 after two years of marriage.

On the work front, Jolie will next be seen in Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The film, a sequel to the 2014 fantasy drama, will hit the theatres in India on October 18.
