However, it seems Jolie’s choice is primarily driven by frustrations over the increasing polarization in American society, particularly following events such as the Charlie Kirk shooting case and the removal of Jimmy Kimmel from his show.
A close acquaintance of the actress remarked, “Angelina has been vocal about wanting to leave. For years, it was assumed her reasons were tied to Brad, but that’s no longer the case. She feels the U.S. is evolving into a place she barely recognizes. This decision hasn’t been made overnight; it’s been on her mind for a considerable time.”
Another friend added: “Living between countries has always been part of her life. Currently, she feels more at ease abroad than she does in Los Angeles.”

During a recent press appearance at the San Sebastián Film Festival for her new film, Couture, Jolie openly discussed her feelings about the state of the country. “I love my country, but at this time, I don’t recognize my country,” she admitted. “I have always lived internationally; my family is international, my friends, my life… my worldview is equal, united, and international. Any actions that divide or limit personal expression and freedom for anyone are very dangerous.”
People close to her affirm that her sentiments mirror a wider disillusionment within society. One friend shared, “She doesn’t want her children to grow up in an environment where rights and freedoms feel threatened. Angelina has consistently advocated for equality and believes that America is regressing.”

Despite her longing for a life overseas, Jolie’s ongoing custody disputes with Pitt have been a significant barrier, particularly concerning their six children. A source noted, “If the legal circumstances permitted it, she would have left already. Brad has been one hurdle, but increasingly, her concern lies with America itself.”
The custody negotiations also involve Jolie’s recent decision to sell her stake in their vineyard, complicating an already tense situation.
Jolie’s advocacy aligns with her humanitarian efforts; she has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and later as Special Envoy. Her commitment to progressive causes is evident, though she refrained from assigning blame to either political faction during her comments in Spain.

During the filming of ‘Couture,’ Jolie wore her late mother’s necklace and ashes, drawing upon her own experiences.
In her latest film, Couture, Jolie portrays an American filmmaker confronting a breast cancer diagnosis amid the Paris Fashion Week spectacle. The role resonates profoundly with her personal journey, as she underwent a preventive double mastectomy nearly a decade ago.
“Having lost my mother and grandmother at a young age, I opted for a double mastectomy. Those choices were mine to make. I don’t advocate for everyone to follow suit, but the freedom of making that choice is crucial, and I have no regrets,” she explained.
Sharing the screen with actors Louis Garrel, Ella Rumpf, and Garance Marillier, Jolie linked her performance to her mother’s legacy by wearing her late mother’s jewelry and carrying her ashes throughout the filming process.
Reflecting on her experiences, Jolie stated: “I pondered her presence throughout this process. I believe many of us have encountered grappling with these thoughts in a hospital setting, possibly facing even more significant challenges than I have.”
Jolie’s forthcoming project, Anxious People, marks a shift to comedy, adapted from David Magee’s novel, starring Aimee Lou Wood, Jason Segel, and Carol Kane.
