Angelina Jolie admitted that her directorial debut in the In The Land of Blood and Honey took its toll on the Oscar-winning actress.
“I had a complete emotional breakdown in the shower and Brad [Pitt] found me crying,” revealed Jolie. “I felt this huge responsibility and I felt very small. I thought, ‘Who am I to take this on?’…I had a complete meltdown.”
The actress added that the agony came from the fact that she “didn’t plan on becoming a director” when she wrote the movie’s screenplay.
“I still have trouble saying I’m a director,” she said. “I just wanted to tell this story and I ended up, by default, being the director.”
Looks like Jolie was worried for no reason. In the Land of Blood and Honey has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
