In 2001, during a difficult period in her life, Angelina Jolie considered hiring a hitman to take her life, thinking it would be easier on her family. She believed that if her death were framed as a robbery, it would spare her loved ones from feeling responsible. At the time, she thought hiring someone would avoid the guilt others might feel if she took her own life. Jolie hired a hitman and made plans, but before following through, the hitman asked her to wait two months to reconsider. This pause led her to reevaluate her decision, and she ultimately chose to continue living. In later years, Jolie reflected on this dark chapter of her life, acknowledging the challenges she faced and how lucky she was to survive them. She emphasized that many others, including artists, had not made it through similar struggles. Jolie’s story highlights the importance of seeking help and taking a step back in times of despair.
