Angelina Jolie Chooses Quality Time With Kids Over A Big Party On 50th Birthday
Last Updated: Angelina Jolie has changed her view on ageing over the years and feels calm about growing older. Angelina Jolie opted to celebrate her 50th birthday on June 4 with a small and private gathering instead of a big Hollywood party. Jolie, who was last seen in Maria, decided that a quiet celebration was the best way to ring in her special day. The Eternals star reportedly spent time with her six children, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. A source close to Jolie told People that she 'seems genuinely excited and happy about turning 50. She doesn't want a big party." The insider added that 'So much of her 40s were rough. She's in a much better place now. The kids are amazing and thriving. There is less family drama." The source further mentioned that Angelina Jolie 'is embracing the idea of turning 50 and feels more grounded than ever. She's not shying away from getting older, in fact, she's leaning into it. Angie sees ageing in a really positive light, especially after losing her mom so young. She feels calm, inspired, and she's excited about what's ahead." The last ten years have been very difficult for Angelina Jolie due to her acrimonious divorce proceedings with Brad Pitt. After a long relationship, Jolie and Pitt tied the knot in 2014. Two years later, they separated after the actress accused her Mr and Mrs Smith co-star of being abusive to her and their six children during a private plane flight. The former couple were granted a divorce in December 2024 after an eight-year-long legal battle. During this time, Pitt found support in his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. According to People, de Ramon has helped him stay calm and feel supported through the long process. As per sources, 'There's no pressure between them. She gives him space when he needs it, but is always there when it counts. Ines has brought a lot of peace into Brad's life. Their relationship has been easy and natural." Coming back to Angelina Jolie, the star was recently seen at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where she attended the Trophee Chopard dinner. She also showed up at the world premiere of Eddington, starring Emma Stone. First Published:

Angelina Jolie honors young talent as Chopard Godmother at Cannes 2025
ALBAWABA - Angelina Jolie returns to Cannes, spotlighting rising talent and unity. Thanks to the festival's longstanding (and glitzy) sponsor, Chopard, Angelina Jolie is at the Cannes Film Festival on official business rather than with a film on the schedule. The Oscar winner consented to be this year's Chopard Godmother, which entailed hosting the A-list Trophée Chopard dinner at Carlton Beach on Friday night and awarding trophies to an actor and actress who were selected as the next generation of talent by a jury made up of past winners of the prestigious festival honor. French actress Marie Colomb and rising British star Finn Bennett, who most recently starred opposite Jodie Foster in True Detective: Night Country and in Alex Garland's Warfare, were honored this year. The awards were given out during the usually glamorous ceremony, which was attended by A-list visitors, members of the competition jury, Chopard co-president and artistic director Caroline Scheufele, Cannes Film Festival president Iris Knobloch, and general delegate Thierry Frémaux. Quentin Tarantino (sitting beside Jolie), Carla Bruni, Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong, and President Juliette Binoche were all present at this year's event, and Friday night was no exception.

"I adore foreign films. Even on the battlefield, we connect and empathize when we are taken to different places and into private moments. My Father Shadow, which is having its Cannes premiere, comes to mind. Jolie stated, "Everything that can be done to increase accessibility to international film is essential and appreciated." Furthermore, none of us are gullible. We are aware that many artists around the world lack the security and freedom to share their stories, and many have died—such as Victoria Amelina in Ukraine, Shaden Gardood in Sudan, and Fatima Hassouna in Gaza—among the many remarkable artists who ought to be with us right now. We owe a debt of appreciation to everyone who has put their lives in danger to share their experiences and stories because they have enabled us to grow and learn. Jolie went on to add that connections, not simply glitz, were the reason people came to Cannes. "We are here to connect with each other through international cinema and the chance to be with creative people, not because of carpets, even though they are beautiful," she continued. Being with so many talented artists from around the world, including our awardees tonight, Finn Bennett and Mary Colon, is a great pleasure for me. As up-and-coming artists in international film, you have both received recognition for your exceptional adaptability, genuineness, and empathy. We are grateful for the contributions you have previously made to narrative and film, as well as for all of your future creative endeavors.

It is indeed an honor for me to receive this award from such a renowned actor and director. She is also someone who is and will always be on the right side of history because of her efforts in ecological and humanitarian causes. However, it was anticipated that actress, singer, and former French first lady Carla Bruni would perform a song to cap off the evening. However, even after the musicians were gathered on stage, Bruni left because of the cacophony coming from the adjacent location, which was playing loud music in the middle of a rival bar. Later, she thanked Scheufele for the chance and criticized the location on Instagram.
