Angelina Jolie May Quit Show Business to Enter Politics

[big_dog]

Just because she's one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood, doesn't mean Angelina Jolie is looking to score her next role. The 39-year-old Oscar winner is actually leaning more towards politics than future films, telling Vanity Fair in its December issue that she's "open" to exploring new opportunities.

“When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered,” Jolie said to Janine di Giovanni about possibly trying her hand at elected or appointed office. “Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility.”

She was quick to add: “But I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful. I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that [could] make it less possible.”

For now though, Jolie is focused on her film career and is set to debut her second directorial effort, "Unbroken," in December. She's also currently filming "By the Sea," which she is directing and starring in with new husband, Brad Pitt http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/04/angelina-jolie-politics_n_6099494.html

1. What is her politics?

[big_dog]

2. UN Ambassador I believe

[Drunken Irishman]

3. Right...but what does she believe beyond helping the impoverished?

Or when she says politics - does she not necessarily mean elected positions?

[hifiguy]

7. If she believes in helping the impoverished

she is clearly not a Repuke. Repukes first belief is creating more of the impoverished so the 1% can benefit.

8. she also has worked with UNICEF

and Brad has rebulit the 9th Ward after Katrina, I would expect her to focus on things like that. Maybe Senate in Louisana?

16. That picture disqualifies her from running for American political office

Taking honors from a queen means you do not believe in self determination.

18. i think its an honorary title

n/t

4. Where? And for what office?

In CA, she'd be the anti-Ahh-nuld or Raygun. Not sure NOLA is ready for a celeb politico.

5. She and Brad are atheists

if I remember, according to polls most Americans wouldn't vote for an atheist, but it probably wouldn't be a problem for a huge movie star entering politics.

6. After seeing Malificent I dont blame her

What a stinkeroo of a movie.

I do admire her activism though.

9. Talk about all the anti Hollywood

speech coming. Remember her father is a full blown TeaBilly. Interesting. She does put her money were her mouth is. The Fundies heads are just exploding,yes.

10. Anyone Know Her Position on Progressive Issues?

She seems to do a lot of good charity work, but I have no idea where she stands on most issues, at least besides guns (she's openly pro-2nd Amendment, and even has a shooting range in her house).

11. I've read she's a big fan of AYN RAND. Take that for what you will.

"I just think [Ayn Rand] has a very interesting philosophy...You reevaluate your own life and what's important to you."

[Eleanors38]

17. That quote is all I've found, re: Jolie on Rand.

It is a rather neutral quote, as indicated by that universal, non-insulting, damned-by-faint-praise term "interesting."

[Eleanors38]

15. "That's hilarious. No I didn't." In response to rumour

he had bought Jolie an in-house shooting range. As reported in the Sept, 2012 ed. of Glamour.

Other sources agree that she keeps firearms for SD, knows how to use them well, and wouldn't hesitate to if her children were threatened.

12. Good. If she can make a difference, go for it.

We need more people like that.

13. I thought less of Brad Pitt for leaving Jennifer Aniston

for this piece of "objectivist" trash.
On the other hand, she had to deal with a horrible father. Perhaps she is confused as to what she wants.
Helping those impoverished goes against everything Ayn Rand stood for.

[Robbins]

14. Well

She was reportly on list of celebs who favored obama In 2012

She doesn't even talk to her bat crazy racist father Jon Voight

Brad Pitt Is a very liberal guy.So if their relationship has lasted 9 years they could have have similar politics.

Her concern for poor overseas make me doudt she would be Republican.
